Kennington Bioscope Live Presents....

Wed Nov 17th:

The Eagle (1925)
starring Rudolf Valentino

The Eagle (1925) poster

Rudolph Valentino’s film career went into hiatus during a legal battle with Famous Players-Lasky and his `comeback’ in 1924’s Monsieur Beaucaire (screened at the June 2019 KB weekend) fared badly outside of metropolitan venues. Valentino’s position was re-established by his first film under a new deal with United Artists, The Eagle, directed by Clarence Brown. The Russian theme of our first programme continues here into pre-Revolutionary times in this adaptation of Alexander Pushkin’s novel Dubrovsky (published posthumously in 1841), where – as in Monsieur Beaucaire – Valentino’s character assumes an alter ego as a result of his involvement with powerful female royalty (a French princess in Beaucaire and, in this film, the Czarina). Vilma Banky and Louise Dresser play the women vying for his attentions. The Eagle will be screened from a 16mm print.

The Eagle will have live piano accompaniment by John Sweeney, and the supporting programme will be accompanied by Colin Sell.

Doors open at 6.30pm for a 7.30pm start. Tickets £7. To attend this screening, please reply to this email.
