OLFLICK - Flicks and Food: Swashbucklers
Course Description
Join us for some summer fun involving adventure, romance, and derring-do. Over dinner, we’ll view and discuss three classic swashbucklers: “The Adventures of Robin Hood,” starring Errol Flynn; “The Sea Hawk,” with Errol Flynn as a privateer defending England from the Spanish Armada and traitors at home; and Rob Reiner’s comic fantasy “The Princess Bride.” Throughout this series, we’ll learn about the origins of the genre, talk about its popular appeal, and discuss what makes these particular films great. Meal will include salad, entrée, dessert, tea and water. Menu choices will be sent to you prior to the start of class.
NOTE: Course fee includes dinner, served during the viewing. Students will be emailed the entrée choices two weeks before the class starts. The OLLI office will compile the choices and send them to the restaurant before the class starts.
