On Saturday, September 14th, the Mahoning Drive-In Theater in Lehighton, PA presents a 35mm double feature of two coming of age classics from one of the greatest directors of all time, A COUPLE A COPPOLA!
The year was 1983, and cinema audiences were treated to two films directed by Francis Ford Coppola, based on classic young adult novels by S.E. Hinton, RUMBLE FISH and THE OUTSIDERS. Both films shared the same cast and crew, were shot in and around Tulsa, Oklahoma, and told tales of teen troubles, small stories writ large across the big screen, with elements that spoke to all, regardless of age, with casts that would go on to be superstars.
The Mahoning Drive-In Theater is proud to bring these two films together for one night only on 35mm, allowing you to bask in the megawatt star power of their casts and directorial prowess Francis Ford Coppola on the big, BIG screen.
First up is THE OUTSIDERS, starring C. Thomas Howell, Ralph Macchio, Rob Lowe, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Matt Dillon, Emilio Estevez, Diane Lane, and Leif Garrett as kids on opposite sides of the tracks, the working class Greasers and the affluent Socs, whose repeated clashes lead to tragedy in an epic tale of small-town drama.
We follow up with the film that started production two weeks after THE OUTSIDERS wrapped, RUMBLE FISH, starring Matt Dillon as a restless youth who idolizes his criminal brother, portrayed by Mickey Roarke, and their conflicting ideas as to what it means to be a success. Shot in stylish black and white, RUMBLE FISH features Diane Lane, Nicolas Cage, Laurence Fishburne, Dennis Hopper, William Smith, Vincent Spano, Chris Penn, Tom Waits, Sofia Coppola.
Join us for these two classic sagas of disaffected youth, and stay golden.
