In this F.W. Murnau (‘Nosferatu’) masterpiece, a farmer (George O'Brien) with a pretty wife (Janet Gaynor) begins a downward spiral after starting an affair with a vacationing woman from the city (Margaret Livingston).
She wants him to return to the city with her but when he mentions his wife, she suggests drowning her.
Considered one of the greatest silent films. Indeed, in 2022's Sight and Sound poll, it was voted the 11th greatest film of all time! And yet surprisingly few people have seen it.
The live musical accompaniment will be performed by one of the leading silent film performers, Stephen Horne on piano, flute and accordion, alongside award-winning harpist and composer Elizabeth-Jane Baldry.
