The Silent Cinema Showcase returns with another selection of newly restored screen classics and rare gems from the silent era.
Special Features: Silent with live musical accompaniment by Andrew Earle Simpson | Intro by Karen Burditt, Art Deco Society of Washington
Joan Crawford lights up the screen in the role that made her a star. While making the rounds at nightclubs, dances, picnics and yacht parties, young flapper Diana "Di" Medford (Crawford) falls in love with Ben Blaine (John Mack Brown). But they are not safe from the poisoned tongue of Di's best friend, Ann (Anita Page), when she learns Ben's net worth. Ben and Ann wed, but Ben realizes his mistake even before the honeymoon is over — and confesses his error to Di. But how will Di and Ben find a happy life together with Ben married to Ann? (Note adapted from Warner Bros.) DIR Harry Beaumont; SCR Josephine Lovett; PROD Hunt Stromberg. U.S., 1928, b&w, 85 min. Silent with English intertitles. NOT RATED
