The historic Pickwick Theater in Park Ridge, IL, will be celebrating the 50th Anniversary of THUNDERBALL with a screening of the classic James Bond blockbuster film on Thursday, April 21, 2016 at 7:00pm.
Program Host Matthew C. Hoffman of the Classic Film Series welcomes as special guests, representative of the Ian Fleming Foundation Colin Clark, and 007 continuing novelist and film historian Raymond Benson, who will introduce the movie and sign books.
IFF board member Colin Clark will have on display from the Foundation the five foot model of the RAF Vulcan Bomber used in the filming of the picture, restored to its original condition.
The evening’s festivities will include discussion of Thunderball‘s history and behind-the-scenes stories, several Bond-related raffles, and photo ops with Bond movie props and theater standees.
Pickwick’s Classic Film Series presentations often draw fans in costume. Attendees are invited to dress as their favorite Bond, Bond Girl, or Bond Villain.
On Wednesday, April 20, 2:00 a.m. CST, Hoffman and Clark will appear on Chicago’s WGN AM720 morning radio show with host Nick Digilio to talk about the Pickwick’s special Thunderball celebration and all things Bond.
