LADY WINDERMERE'S FAN (1925)

Special Features: Live musical accompaniment by Makia Matsumura. Intro by Karen Burditt, Art Deco Society of Washington

Upon returning to London, the dazzlingly indiscreet Mrs. Erlynne (Irene Rich) becomes entangled in the affairs of the Windermere house, already being meddled with by charming Lord Darlington (Ronald Colman). Ernst Lubitsch's pitch-perfect Oscar Wilde adaptation revels in the expressivity of the human face and the suggestive, telling detail revealed through witty editing. Largely shot on imposing sets or backlot streets, the film's notable location sequence takes place at Toronto's Woodbine Racetrack. (Note adapted from the Academy Museum.) DIR/PROD Ernst Lubitsch; SCR Julien Josephson, from the play by Oscar Wilde; PROD Darryl F. Zanuck. U.S., 1925, b&w (tinted and toned), 94 min. NOT RATED

Restoration by the Museum of Modern Art, with the financial support of Matthew and Natalie Bernstein.
