A silent film with live music

Jonny Best piano
Directed by Curtis Bernhardt
Germany, 1929.

1 hour 40 minutes, + interval

Marlene Dietrich ignites the screen in a tale of passion, danger and desire.

Henri, a young man adrift, marries a wealthy heiress to save the family business. On the eve of his honeymoon, he glimpses a mysterious woman through a frosted train window. Their eyes meet — a fleeting, spellbinding moment of silent‑film perfection — and from it unfolds a chain of passion and betrayal that hurtles toward disaster.

One of the UK’s leading silent film pianists and Northern Silents founder, Jonny Best, will improvise a soundtrack.
A film from the holdings of the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung (www.murnau-stiftung.de) in Wiesbaden
