Bicknell's the best
If you haven't already made plans to get to Bicknell, Utah, this weekend, you should.
The Bicknell International Film Festival - billed as "the world's smallest international film festival" and celebrating its 13th edition Friday and Saturday - could be the most fun you can have in a small Utah town. It's bad movies, plus a parade, plus parties, all in a single weekend in the gorgeous Capitol Reef area.
This year's theme is B-grade Westerns. It opens Friday night at Bicknell's Wayne Theatre with Howard Hughes' infamous "The Outlaw," starring the full-figured Jane Russell in all her buxom glory (pictured). That follows the annual parade from Torrey to Bicknell, "the world's fastest parade" because it reaches speeds of 55 mph on the highway between the two towns.
Saturday's events include the annual staples - a morning swap meet in Torrey, the "Mutton 'n' Taters" fund-raiser for the Teasdale Volunteer Fire Department, and a panel discussion. The Saturday movies are "The Master Gunfighter," starring Tom McLaughlin ("Billy Jack"), and "The Terror of Tiny Town," a Western with an all-dwarf cast.
