Stephen Robertson, cinephile and loyal supporter of the sessions, will introduce the classic.
“Roughneck ship stoker (George Bancroft) gets into all sorts of trouble during a brief shore leave when he falls hard for Mae (Betty Compson), a wise and weary dance-hall girl, in von Sternberg’s evocative portrait of working-class waterfront folk. Fog-enshrouded cinematography by Harold Rosson, expressionist set design by triple Oscar winner Hans Dreier, and sensual performances by the leads, make this one of the legendary director’s finest works, and one of the most exquisitely crafted films of the silent era. This compelling and heartfelt late silent wonder features
Australian born Clyde Cook in a key role in the film.”
