Phantom: Tavern Brawl

F.W. Murnau — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 11:59:53 -0600

Phantom has been beautifully reconstructed and restored in 2003 in collaboration with the Bundesarchiv-Filmarchiv, Berlin from the original 1922 negative. Phantom was F.W. Murnau's twelfth film and a screen version of a novel by celebrated German Author Gerhart Hauptmann. The film features Alfred Abel (Metropolis, The Grand Duke's Finances, Dr. Mabuse) as a town clerk who has visions of becoming a famous poet and marrying a charming girl with whom he has had a fateful encounter, played by Lya de Putti (Variety, The Burning Earth). Increasing fixated by his longing through Murnau's cinematic touches, Lorenz sleeps with a prostitute resembling the unattainable girl which leads to near insanity, financial ruin and ultimate redemption.

Criticized upon the film's initial release for simplifying Hauptmann's novel, Murnau's dazzling imagery (assisted by designer Hermann Warm and cameramen Axel Graatkjar and Theo Ouchakoff) transforms picturesque location shooting into a realm of disquiet and despair.

Garden of Eden: Introduction of Baron Henri D’Arvil

Lewis Milestone — Sat, 18 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0600

This thoroughly entertaining romantic comedy from 1928 was an important film for both its beguiling star, Corinne Griffith, and talented director, Lewis Milestone, a two-time Oscar winner for Best Director. The film was scripted by Hans Kraley with gorgeous production design by William Cameron Menzies. This digital edition of the film is mastered from what is considered the best surviving elements of the original print with a new score arranged and performed by Robert Israel.

Stylish and sophisticated, Garden of Eden follows vocalist Toni LeBrun (Corinne Griffith), who leaves her family’s bakery for Budapest to become an ‘opera singer’, unaware that she has contracted to perform as a chorus dancer at the Palais de Paris, a cabaret run by the decadent and delightfully manacing Madame Bauer (Maude George). Toni soon escapes to Monte Carlo with the cabaret’s seamstress, Rosa (Louise Dresser), after warding off the wily cabaret patron, Baron Henri D’Arvil (Lowell Sherman). At the deluxe Hotel Eden, Toni attracts the attention of potential suitor Richard Dupont (Charles Ray), but she’s in danger of running out of money before he pops the question. Dueling attention from Richard’s Uncle, Colonel Dupont (Edward Martindel), and a surprise guest create further obstacles and romantic adventures for the couple.
