Join WNP Film Club on February 5th for a screening of an all-time classic San Francisco film, What’s Up, Doc? (1972). In this throwback screwball comedy from director Peter Bogdanovich, music professor Howard Bannister (Ryan O’Neal) finds his life turned upside down when he crosses paths with kooky Judy Maxwell (Barbra Streisand). A mix-up involving identical plaid bags puts them in a series of wacky situations, including one of the great San Francisco car chases, featuring Alta Plaza Park and a famed scene at the Balboa Dip.

WNP Film Club is a 4 Star Theater series brought to you by Western Neighborhoods Project, your friendly community history nonprofit, in partnership with Bay Area Movies and CinemaSF. Join us in celebrating movies filmed on location in San Francisco, with an emphasis on the west side. Each screening will feature an introduction by WNP’s resident film buffs, John Martini and Chelsea Sellin, who will share some background about the film and featured locations, including “then and now” comparisons. Optional Extra Credit: stick around after to unpack the movie with John and Chelsea and indulge your inner film nerd.

The program begins at 7:00pm on Thursday, February 5. Tickets sales support both WNP and the 4 Star Theater!
