Put on a happy face for a screening of George Sidney’s adaptation of the popular stage musical Bye Bye Birdie, with a post-screeing Q&A with cast members Ann-Margret and Bobby Rydell. The film may rub some the wrong way, but the songs in this 1963 gem—which extol the importance of everything from “going steady” to appearing on Ed Sullivan—will lodge themselves into your head for a while. The candy-colored story of Elvis-esque teen heartthrob Conrad Birdie and a small-town girl features an impressive cast, with Dick Van Dyke and Janet Leigh as standout supporting characters.
