Cinephile Paradiso and Silent Cinema presents HOT GIRL SUMMER, a monthly, unforgettable lineup of films featuring four iconic silent film stars: Joan Crawford, Clara Bow, Greta Garbo, and Gloria Swanson.
Starting on the 18th of May, with the screening of The Unknown, a 1927 American silent horror film directed by Tod Browning, and starring Lon Chaney as carnival knife thrower "Alonzo the Armless" and Joan Crawford as his beloved carnival girl Nanon.
On the run from the law, Alonzo (Lon Chaney) hides in the circus as The Armless Wonder - a performer who uses his feet to hurl knives. Alonzo has the use of his arms but keeps them concealed so that his true identity remains under wraps. Meanwhile, Alonzo falls in love with another performer, Nanon (Joan Crawford), who has a phobia of being touched by a man. But when the circus owner (Nick De Ruiz) discovers Alonzo's true identity, the performer makes a tragic decision.
Screening with live piano accompaniment.
