Directed by D.W. Griffith (1929, USA)

D.W. Griffith's last silent film surprised contemporary critics who felt that he had lost his touch. This marvelous romantic drama is a return to form, with splendid cinematic flourishes that confirm the masters place in the firmament.
Set in 19th-century Paris where Prussian aristocrat Karl von Arnim (William Boyd, future HOP-A-LONG CASSIDY star) falls in love with Spanish cabaret chanteuse Nanon (the magnificent Lupe Velez). The film was completed as a silent, then partially re-shot to qualify as a part-talkie including two musical numbers using Griffith's innovative experimentation with sound modulation.
LIVE ACCOMPANIMENT BYDONALD SOSINON THE PIANO as well as a vocal recreation of the original musical numbers by Joanna Seaton.
