On a par with the best work of Anthony Asquith or Alfred Hitchcock in the period, this is in some respects film noir before the term was in use. This screening will feature live piano accompaniment by Stephen Horne.
One of the truly great British silent films, on a par with the best work of Anthony Asquith or Alfred Hitchcock in the period, this is in some respects film noir before the term was in use. In essence it is a simple tale of ambition, desire and jealousy; what marks Piccadilly out is the astonishing confidence of its direction.
