December 16, 1971
Today in 1971, Frank Zappa’s film, 200 Motels, was released.
The film debuted at London’s Piccadilly Classic Cinema and covered a loose storyline about the Mothers of Invention going crazy in a small town called Centerville.
The movie was later shown at the Doheny Plaza Theater in Hollywood, Calif., though it ultimately received mixed reviews.
