Love Me Tender at County Museum

A classic train movie in honor of Train Days

Love Me Tender, a classic movie of romance, railroads, and robbery, will be shown at the San Bernardino County Museum on Friday, April 28. This #FOMO Friday event, from 7 to 9 p.m., celebrates the museums Train Days, which start on April 22 and continue through Sunday, April 30 (closed Monday). The movie will be accompanied by a signature cocktail and snacks. Guests are welcome to dress in their midcentury threads in honor of Elvis, third on the bill behind Richard Egan and Debra Paget in this, his first movie.

This was Elvis Presleys debut on the silver screen, said Maggie Latimer, the Museum Associations executive director. We selected the film for our Train Days-themed FOMO Friday because it has a historical railroad theme. But although its a Civil War story, it has a midcentury modern mindset that fits right in with the museums current special exhibit, Visions of Southern California. And, of course, Elvis singing Love Me Tender will bring tears to everyones eyes.

#FOMO Fridays are a series of casual, after-work evening events that capitalize on the fear of missing out. Love Me Tender is free for Museum Association members and $10 per nonmember. Limited tickets are available; call the Museum Association at (909) 798-8625 for details. Love Me Tender will be cancelled in case of rain.
