About The Cinema Museum
After hosting the UK premiere at the British Film Institute last month, Women & Cocaine are back with another screening of Letty Lynton (1932), Joan Crawford’s most elusive film.
A defining melodrama of the pre-Code era, Letty Lynton languished in legal limbo for 90 years after a plagiarism lawsuit removed it from circulation, but now it returns from cinematic exile in a stunning restoration courtesy of Warner Bros and with support from Crawford’s grandson Casey Lalonde.
Crawford stars as a Manhattan socialite driven to desperate measures by a possessive former lover. Clarence Brown directs with razor-sharp tension, while Adrian’s costumes, especially the ‘Letty Lynton dress’, sparked a nationwide fashion craze hailed by Edith Head as cinema’s greatest influence on fashion.
The film will be preceded by a short introduction, and followed by a raffle.
Seating is unallocated. Service dogs welcome. Unfortunately, this film screening does not have closed captions or audio description available.
