Beggars of Life
4pm, 29 April 2012
Barbican Centre, London

William Wellman's drama was one of the first sympathetic portrayals of life on the run to emerge from Hollywood. Stars Wallace Beery with Louise Brooks in an outstanding performance as a cross-dressing criminal.

With live accompaniment by Neil Brand and The Dodge Brothers. Part of the Barbican's Silent Film & Live Music Series.

Yes, we're going to this. I'm not familiar with the film but it sounds good.

It's a wonderful film that I have only been able to see in a rather poor copy. But I have watched it many times.

Enjoy.

Fantastic film. And well done to Neil Brand and the Dodge Brothers for their sparkling improvisation which accompanied the screening.

Was it 35mm or digital?

I'd say it wasn't digital but others more knowledgeable can probably confirm.
