The Midwest Classic Movie Series takes movies from the 1910's to the 1960's that have stood the test of time to be considered classic and puts them where they belong - back on the big screen. The Historic Midwest Theater is the perfect setting to watch these films as it transports yo back to the era they were released in . Whether you saw them on one of their original runs or only on TV, make your way to a M.C.M. screening on the 3rd Saturday of the Month.
M.C.M. is getting into the Disney Through the Decades theme this June with the all time classic live action family movie - The Love Bug!
Down-on-his-luck race car driver Jim Douglas (Dean Jones) teams up with a little VW Bug (Herbie The Love Bug) that has a mind of its own. Jim decides to race Herbie with the help of his mechanic Tennessee Steinmetz (Buddy Hackett) and love interest Carol Bennett (Michele Lee). Jim doesn't realize Herbie's worth until his sneaky rival, Peter Thorndyke (David Tomlinson), plots to steal Herbie for himself. It all comes down to the big race, where Thorndyke will pull out every dirty trick he can think of. Luckily Herbie has several tricks of his own.
