The Docks of New York (1928) Directed by Josef von Sternberg
Live piano accompaniment provided by Philip Carli Saturday - March 30 - 3:00 p.m. In Josef von Sternberg’s dark melodrama, rough-hewn ship stoker Bill Roberts (George Bancroft) falls for tortured dance-hall girl Mae (Betty Compson) after saving her from a suicide attempt. Cinematographer Harold Rosson’s (The Wizard of Oz) haunting photography creates an expressionistic haze that looms over their love affair, foreshadowing Mae’s anguish when she discovers that Bill’s promises of marriage and redemption are less than genuine. Shot on location around New York City’s waterfront, the beautifully crafted film is oft-considered von Sternberg’s masterpiece of the silent era. (16mm. 76 min. Not rated.)
The Last Picture Show (1971)
Directed by Peter Bogdanovich Saturday - April 27 - 3:00 p.m. While other emerging directors of the 1970s cited European auteurs as influences, Peter Bogdanovich preferred paying respects to the American masters. Adapted from Larry McMurtry’s sexually frank coming-of-age novel, The Last Picture Show parallels its tale of innocence lost with the passing of Hollywood’s golden age. With a nod to Howard Hawks, Bogdanovich’s film opens with a marquee displaying Red River as the final show of the town’s shuttering movie house. Yet, despite its reverence to cinema’s past, the film ranks as one of the finest productions of “New Hollywood”. Starring Jeff Bridges, Timothy Bottoms, Ellen Burstyn, Cybill Shepherd, and Randy Quaid. (2K DCP. 118 min. Rated R.)
