Award-winning drama screens on 50th anniversary in Salem
Salem Cinema is hosting a screening of the award-winning film One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest for its 50th anniversary this December.
The event is being hosted by the Oregon State Hospital Museum of Mental Health, as the original movie was filmed in the Oregon State Hospital.
The event will include a post-screening Q&A with Dennie Brooks, who was a set coordinator on the film.
Back in 1975, the film’s premiere occurred at the Bagdad Theatre in Portland, with star Jack Nicholson in attendance along with the other cast members, for a screening that served as a fundraiser for the Mental Health Association of Oregon.
The film was based on the novel of the same name by Ken Kesey, who also has roots in Oregon. His brother, Chuck Kesey, co-founded the Springfield Creamery.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest was acclaimed upon its release, receiving the Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actor in a Leading Role for Jack Nicholson, Best Actress in a Leading Role for Louise Fletcher’s portrayal of antagonist Nurse Ratched, Best Director for Milos Forman as well as Best Adapted Screenplay.
Movie screenings like this may choose to use banner printing for creating marquees for the main event.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest 50th Anniversary screening is happening on December 9 from 6 pm to 930 pm at Salem Cinema at 1127 Broadway St NE in Salem.
