6′ 2′′ and dressed only in eye-catching high-fashion gear, Tamara Dobson is a powerful screen presence as special agent Cleopatra Jones. Cleo struts into action, ordering an airstrike on a Turkish poppy field and igniting a war with L.A. drug queenpin "Mommy" (a delightfully over-the-top Shelley Winters). Back in Los Angeles, Cleopatra unleashes her martial arts fury and Bond-like cool to defend her community and take down the flamboyant villain. A vivid IB Technicolor print from the original release of Cleopatra Jones will be screened.
Admission free for all screenings, seating limited. No admission 15 minutes after scheduled start times. Please visit our website for a complete listing of programs and descriptions.
