so many movies ... so much to celebrate!!!
On this day in 1984 (in the U.S.), the good people of Westwood, California were treated to the big screen cinematic premiere of Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom. Written by George Lucas, Willard Huyck, and Gloria Katz, the second installment in the saga of Indiana Jones was directed by Steven Spielberg with Harrison Ford returning while bringing actress Kate Capshaw and Ke Huy Quan to the adventure.
According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:
"In 1935, Indiana Jones arrives in India, still part of the British Empire, and is asked to find a mystical stone. He then stumbles upon a secret cult committing enslavement and human sacrifices in the catacombs of an ancient palace."
For the record:
The blockbuster film also scored a bit of praise from the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts and Science awarded it the Oscar in the category of 'Best Effects, Visual Effects.' Alas, John Williams' score had to settle for nomination only in the category of 'Best Music, Original Score.'
