Experience the glam, grit, and dark wit of the Roaring Twenties in Chicago (1927), a silent-era film that laid the groundwork for the hit Broadway musical and Oscar-winning remake. With live Wurlitzer organ accompaniment and a restored 35mm print, this screening offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the original noir-tinged story that first introduced audiences to Roxie Hart and her scandalous tale of love, murder, and media frenzy.Based on a true crime story, the movie is about a wild jazz-loving and boozing wife who kills her boyfriend in cold blood after he leaves her, and how she finagles her way out being convicted. Remade once as a movie and as a Broadway musical.
