In the movie, Astronaut Capt. Richmond Talbot inadvertently volunteers to make the first manned flight around the moon. He is ordered to keep the upcoming moon flight a secret, even from his family. Due to the secrecy of the mission, he is put under the watchful protection of various security agencies.
Moon Pilot is Academy Award-winner Sally Field’s first film appearance (un-credited) – she can be seen as a beatnik in a crowd scene - and the first America film appearance of French bombshell Dany Saval as Lyrae. Tom Tyron, Edmund O’Brien, Tommy Kirk and Brian Keith also star. Moon Pilot will be screened July 1-31, Wednesday through Monday, at 1 and 4pm (except July 16, 17 + 23): $5 for children and $7 for adults.
