The King returns! This film defined the 70’s Aspen esthetic and was the ultimate ”cult” film screening practically every month. It was the era of Hunter Thompson running for sheriff on a platform advocating sodding over Main Street – and he almost won! So Join us for the free screenings and bring your friends to this celebration. This quirky comedic war film focuses on Scottish soldier Charles Plumpick (Alan Bates), who is sent to a French town on a mission to disarm a bomb left behind by the retreating German army. Plumpick discovers that the area is deserted except for the inmates of the local asylum. The mental patients playfully take over the town and pronounce the soldier their king.
“A surrealistic jewel of a comedy which you realize, when you can catch your breath between laughs, has made the case for the sanity of the lunatics and the madness of the war-waging sane.”- L.A. Times.
Ends at 9:30 (France 1966) NR
