GARDEN OF EDEN (1928)
with live music (Mauro Colombis), 78 minutes.
Tickets: $30/$25
Stylish and sophisticated. A thoroughly entertaining romantic comedy is enhanced by the talents of a beguiling star, Corinne Griffith; a skilled and multi Oscar winning director Lewis Milestone; an Oscar winning screenwriter and frequent collaborator of Lubitsch, Hanns Kräly; and multi Oscar winning art director, William Cameron Menzies. Australian born William H. O’Brien lends a hand in a minor role as a waiter.
Aspiring vocalist Griffith leaves the family's business to become an opera singer. Unaware that she has been contracted to perform as a chorus dancer at the 'Palais de Paris', she escapes to the Hotel Eden in Monte Carlo with the cabaret's seamstress. After warding off unwelcome advances she finds herself entangled in further romantic adventures. ”This decadent and sumptuous romance is one of the definitive classics of the silent era.”
