Event Details

Head to Berkeley for a movie night under the stars in the sculpture garden for the ’50s commie spy flick, Shack Out On 101.

Who would have thought a burger joint could be a command center for commie spies? I’ll have that medium rare with a side of microfilm. But then again, this deliriously trashy espionage flick is all Cold War and hot stoves.

Lee Marvin plays Slob, a short-order cook who can’t. Keenan Wynn plays George, owner of the seaside beanery and handy with a harpoon. Just down the beach is a missile site, so sooner or later top-secret scientists blow in looking for their fix of trans-fat. This by-the-pants paranoid pic generates enough laughable lunacy to make your patty melt.

Plus, there will be a surprise short.
