Burton Theatre - BARBARELLA - Burton Theatre DEtroit - Friday 5/14 - 5/19

This weekend MCB top pick has to be The Burton Theatre's showing of
BARBARELLA
In the 40th century, Barbarella (Jane Fonda) is assigned by the President of Earth (Claude Dauphin) to retrieve Doctor Durand-Durand (Milo O'Shea) from the planet SoGo in order to save the earth. On her quest, Barbarella is seduced by a resident of SoGo (Ugo Tognazzi as Mark Hand), who introduces her to penetrative intercourse, something she is unaware of, since civilized people of Barbarella's society find their sexual release through pharmaceuticals. In turn, she seduces an angel named Pygar (John Phillip Law), and overloads a torture device called the Excessive (or "Ex-sex-sive") Machine, which kills through sexual pleasure.
BARBARELLA is an old school classic
and you shouldn't miss your chance to see it on the big screen
Jane Fonda ended up doing PENTHOUSE after this flick
NOTE: do not show up late or you will miss a pretty cool opening credit sequence
