Matinee

In October 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis occurred and the menace of nuclear war loomed over the American South. Low-budget filmmaker Lawrence Woolsey was in Key West, Fla., debuting his new film "Mant!" and thought the prevailing mood of fear surrounding the premiere was perfect to stir up some excitement. A group of local teenagers prepared for the film's opening night, experiencing small crises of their own.
