Ben’s of Bayside Turns Back the Clock for “1972 Movie Night”

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct. 9, 2012 - In continuance of its 40th anniversary, Ben’s Kosher Delicatessen Restaurant & Caterers will be hosting “1972 Movie Night” at its restaurant, located at 211-37 26th Avenue in Bayside. Ben’s will be showing “Cabaret” on October 11 and “The Heartbreak Kid” on December 4. Show times for both films will be at 6:00 p.m.

In the film “Cabaret,” a female girlie club entertainer in Weimar Republic-era Berlin romances two men while the Nazi Party rises to power around them. The film stars Liza Minnelli (who won an Academy Award for Best Actress) and Michael York.

In “The Heartbreak Kid,” starring Charles Grodin and Cybill Shepherd, three days into his Miami honeymoon, New York Jewish Lenny meets tall, blonde Kelly. This confirms that, in his opinion, he has made a serious mistake and decides he wants Kelly instead. Her rich father is less than keen and lets everyone — including Lenny — know that he hates everything about him and the way he is going on. The film also stars Jeannie Berlin, who won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

While enjoying a delicious Ben's dinner, patrons can view these classic films that were released the same year that Ben’s opened up its first location in Baldwin, New York. All movies will be shown on the “big screen” at Ben's.
