‘Cool Hand Luke’ part of Vintage Film Series

Paul Newman’s legendary performance in “Cool Hand Luke” comes to the Sebastiani Theatre as apart of its Vintage Film Series #5. The film can be seen Monday, Nov. 12, at 7 p.m.; and Wednesday, Nov. 14, at 1 p.m.

  The 1967 film, directed by Stuart Rosenberg earned accolades, including a Best Supporting Oscar win for co-star  George Kennedy. It is the hard-fought story of a man in a Florida prison camp who refuses to submit to the system. He battles both guards and fellow prisoners in his efforts to survive, which ultimately lead to a daring escape.

  Patrons are invited to "dress in the era" for this and all upcoming classic movie screenings in this  Vintage Film Series #5. Wine by the glass will be offered for sale at Monday evening showings. Doors open 30 minutes prior to the screening. Admission is $8.

  The Sebastiani Theatre is located at 476 First St. E. in Sonoma. To order tickets in advance for individual film screenings, call 996-9756. 

  The fifth Vintage Film Series will wrap up in December with “The Sound of Music” on Monday, Dec. 17, at 7 p.m.; and Wednesday, Dec. 19, at 1 p.m. The 1965 musical was directed by Robert Wise and stars Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer and Eleanor Parker.
