Friends of the Fox Present The Love Bug

Overview

The Love Bug (1968) is a classic Disney comedy about a down-on-his-luck race car driver named Jim Douglas (played by Dean Jones) who stumbles upon an unusual Volkswagen Beetle with a mind of its own. Named Herbie, the little car has a mischievous personality and a surprising amount of speed, turning Jim’s life—and his racing career—upside down. With the help of his mechanic buddy Tennessee (Buddy Hackett) and his romantic interest, Carole (Michele Lee), Jim learns that teamwork and heart can make even the most unlikely victories possible. Full of humor, hijinks, and a little bit of magic, The Love Bug is a heartwarming story about friendship, loyalty, and never underestimating a small but mighty underdog.

Doors open on Sunday, February 9, at 1 PM with entertainment in the lobby. The live Robert Morton Organ concert begins at 1:30 PM, and the film starts at 2 PM. Tickets are available online now or at the theatre when doors open.

The Friends of the Fox is a volunteer, non-profit organization offering a monthly classic movie experience at the Bob Hope Fox Theatre. Founded in 1995, the Friends of the Fox supported the restoration of the Theatre through significant fundraising efforts. Nearly 30 years later, the organization continues to promote the Theatre as an integral part of the Stockton community and the “Crown Jewel” of downtown Stockton.
