A silent classic. A temptress toys with three men in a hokey but elegant bit of melodramatic fluff climaxing with death on an iceberg. Renowned for its then electric love scenes the film was a big success because of the off stage Gilbert/Garbo romance. Archive material.

PICCADILLY (1929)
CertificationPG Our Rating
Shosho is a maid in a swanky night-spot when she's spotted dancing by the club's rakish proprietor, Valentine Wilbur. Soon Shosho has usurped Mabel as the star dancer and object of Valentine's affections, setting the scene for a dramatic denouement. A tenderly restored work, with a new musical score by Neil Brand, and a truly hypnotic early screen goddess in the form of Anna May Wong.

THE CIRCUS (CHAPLIN) (1928)

The Little Tramp brings his slapstick hijinks to the big top.

The circus owner/ringmaster auditions The Little Tramp as a clown but discovers he is only funny when h

THE FARMER'S WIFE (1928)
CertificationU Our Rating
Samuel Sweetland is a condescending farmer who finds himself all alone after the death of his wife. Along with his housekeeper, Minta, Samuel puts together a list of potential replacements, but his ego is about to take a much deserved battering. Much subtle slapstick and witty caricature, especially in a marvellously sustained sequence at a tea-party. An enjoyable adaptation of the play by Eden Phillpotts.
