Greg and Dan talk with Carlos Valladares, Curator of Film at the Peoria Riverfront Museum, to discuss the upcoming screening of the 1973 film Scarecrow, starring Gene Hackman and Al Pacino. The film follows two drifters, Max Millan, a short-tempered ex-convict, and Francis Lionel "Lion" Delbuchi, a childlike former sailor as they journey across America with dreams of opening a car wash in Pittsburgh. The film explores themes of friendship, redemption, and the human condition, earning the Grand Prix at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival.

Carlos shares his passion for films that predate his time and discusses what drew him to this particular film. He also delves into his career path and the importance of preserving and showcasing classic cinema.

The screening will take place on September 18th at 6:30 PM at the Peoria Riverfront Museum. For more information, visit www.peoriariverfrontmuseum.org
