On Friday, March 6 at 7 p.m., the public is invited to the Marion Music Hall for the month’s Classic Film Friday presentation: “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.”

The event is co-sponsored by the Sippican Historical Society and the Marion Council on Aging, and is offered free of charge. Produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick, the 1964 black comedy/fantasy examines doomsday scenarios and Cold War politics.

The film has been described as “a cynically objective, Monty Python-esque, humorous, biting response to the apocalyptic fears of the 1950’s.”

It was included among the first group of films chosen for the National Film Registry as culturally, historically or aesthetically important.

"Dr. Strangelove” features Peter Sellers, George C. Scott and Sterling Hayden, and was nominated for four Academy Awards. The film is 95 minutes, and it will be followed by a brief discussion session with David Pierce.

The Marion Music Hall is located at 164 Front St. Parking is available across the street at Island Wharf. For more information, contact the society at 508-748-1116.
