Program Description

Event Details

For the month of September, we will be watching movies from the silent era.  See early works by renowned Hollywood directors Alfred Hitchcock, Josef von Sternberg, Ernst Lubitsch, and Anthony Asquith.  It will probably take some time to acclimate yourself to the style, but you might be surprised at how much of the techniques we see as modern were being used in 1920s.

On this night we will be watching Josef von Sternberg's 1927 film "Underworld" starring George Bancroft, Clive Brook, and Evelyn Brent.

Boisterous gangster kingpin Bull Weed rehabilitates his former lawyer from his alcoholic haze, but complications arise when he falls for Weed's girlfriend.
