Afternoon 2:30 PM at the Regal Theater in North Brunswick: “The Outrageous Sophie Tucker” (USA, 2014) – Movie (96 min; Director invited), then dinner
A documentary focusing on the tumultuous early days of this iconic vaudeville superstar of the 1920s flapper era in the United States. Before Mae West, Marilyn Monroe, Bette Midler, Madonna, and Lady Gaga, Tucker was the first woman to infatuate her audiences with a bold, bawdy, and brassy style. Using all of the more than four hundred recently rediscovered personal scrapbooks of the performer known as “the Last of the Red Hot Mamas,” the film retraces Tucker’s sixty-year show business career.
As the only other showing of this film is on Thurs 10/30 at 1 PM, the Sun show will likely sell out, so get your tickets in advance at the Rutgers Jewish Film Festival website*; new option is print at home tickets. After the film, you are invited to travel just north on Route 1 to the Omega Diner to have dinner together and discuss this film and others in the festival. Note that those who want to see the 7 PM film, “The Green Prince,” can order and receive our dinner first in order to leave by 6:45 PM. http://bildnercenter.rutgers.edu/film
