Tiki Weekend at the Egyptian Theatre, Hollywood, CA
After the phenomenal success of Tiki Sundays the past two summers, the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, CA, decided to spread the exotica over a whole weekend with more fun feature films, diverting oddball shorts, vendors, food, music and more!
Beginning with an epic bang on Friday night with a rare screening of director George Roy Hill’s tropical behemoth, HAWAII starring Julie Andrews.
After the first program on Saturday (Kevin Kidney’s screening of his spectacular collection of rare, island-themed TV surprises), join all in the Egyptian Courtyard for a Royal Southern California-style Luau with exotic musical entertainment from King Kukelele and his Friki Tikis and the Polynesian Paradise Dancers. Then, early evening, settle in for a great double feature: THE SOPHISTICATED MISFIT, a fascinating new documentary on pop culture icon, Shag (who’ll be appearng In-Person!), paired with the vintage Burt Lancaster island adventure, HIS MAJESTY O’KEEFE. There will also be Tiki vendors and other special surprises in the courtyard on Saturday from 1:00 PM till we shut it down.
Sunday has a screening of the scorching hot MISS SADIE THOMPSON, starring Rita Hayworth as a hard-luck dame stranded in Samoa with nobody for company but an evil Christian fundamentalist and a gang of fun-loving GI’s.
