Robin Williams GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM! November 3rd at Schlafly Bottleworks

“Goooooooood morning, Vietnam! Hey, this is not a test! This is rock and roll! Time to rock it from the Delta to the D.M.Z.!”

GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM! (1987) screens Thursday November 3rd at 7:00pm at Schlafly Bottleworks (7260 Southwest Avenue Maplewood, MO 63143) as part of the ‘A’ Film Series “Culture Shock”

GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM! stars Robin Williams in the role he was born to play: the irreverent, non-conformist deejay Adrian Cronauer. Imported by the Army for an early a.m. radio show, Cronauer blasts the formerly staid, sanitized airwaves with a constant barrage of rapid-fire humor and the hottest hits from back home.. The GI’s love his style but the commanders aren’t so thrilled with his comedy. Sidesplitting comic bombshells and studded with hot ’60’s hits, the film depicts Cronauer’s raucous Saigon adventures amid a world gone mad. Williams is brilliant in his portrayal of Adrian as this seems like the part he was meant to play with his quick instincts and non-stop humor. Barry Levinson has done few good films and this is one of them. This is a mix of comedy,drama and war and is a superb entertainment and a classic comedy hit. It’s been a while since GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM! Has shown on the big screen and you’ll have your chance to see it when it plays at Schlafly Bottleworks Thursday November 3rd at 7:00pm
