Watch “Sometimes a Great Notion” Thursday, Feb. 25 at the Big O Saloon in Olney.
Watch ‘Sometimes a
Great Notion’ film
The Big O Saloon screens Pacific
Northwest cult classic Feb. 25
OLNEY — The best place to
watch the greatest movie ever
made about logging is in a real
logger bar. The best logger bar
around is the Olney Saloon,
set back up in the woods of
Olney.
On Thursday, Feb. 25, the
Olney Saloon will host its
annual winter screening of
“Sometimes a Great Notion.”
The movie, adapted from Ken
Kesey’s epic novel about a de-
¿ant family of loggers, starred
Paul Newman and was ¿lmed
on the Central Oregon Coast
during the summer of 1970.
The ¿lm was released in 1971
to an indifferent nationwide
audience but remains a cult
classic in the Paci¿c North-
west.
The Big O will offer a
Hank Stamper Olympia beer
and meatloaf sandwich spe-
cial, free popcorn, and the
warmth of a crackling wood-
stove ¿re to enMoy the ¿lm. As-
toria writer Matt Love, author
of “Sometimes a Great Movie:
Paul Newman, Ken Kesey and
the Filming of the Great Ore-
gon Novel,” will introduce the
movie, hold a trivia contest,
and take questions after the
screening.
The saloon is also offer-

ticket wins a “Sometimes a
Great Notion” collectable
package, including a copy of
the movie, special hardback
edition of Love’s book, a pro-
motional still from the movie,
and an ancient can of Olympia
purportedly held by Paul New-
man on the set. All proceeds
from the rafÀe will go to sup-
port a local literary cause.
Last year, the saloon ¿lled
to capacity well before the
screening, and late arriv-
als were turned away. This
year, to accommodate the
crowds, the movie will also be
screened outdoors near the ¿re
pit (weather permitting).
The event is free and be-
gins at 6:30 p.m. The Olney
Saloon is located 9.5 miles up
Oregon Highway 202.
