The Silent Film Festival Presents: CHICAGO (1927)

The Castro Theatre
San Francisco, CA

There may be other versions - Bob Fosse's 1975 Broadway musical, and the 2002 adaptation that took the Academy Award for Best Picture - but you haven't seen CHICAGO until you've seen the original! Based on the true story of two women who dealt with their no-good lovers by gunning them down in cold blood, CHICAGO features an explosive, riotous performance by Phyllis Haver, who throws everything she's got - and more! - into the role of two-timing, morality-free jazz baby Roxie Hart. Fast-paced, hard-boiled and sin-soaked, the 1927 CHICAGO is the real thing: a straight-up portrait of Roaring Twenties madness, straight out of the Twenties! Presented in the long-lost roadshow version, now completely restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive, with pulse-pounding live accompaniment supplied by the BAKER-MEHLING HOT FOUR, purveyors of authentic 1920s jazz!
