Toronto SILENT FILM Festival April 2, 2011

Adventure...Romance...on the big screen with one of the acclaimed classics of the silent era.
THE BELOVED ROGUE 1927 dir. Alan Crosland and starring JOHN BARRYMORE, CONRAD VEIDT
One of the most spectacular films to hit the screen. Barrymore is superb as the vagabond poet Villon who "loved France earnestly, French women excessively and French wine exclusively." Top German actor Conrad Veidt makes his scene stealing US debut as the King of France. Sets designed by Menzies.
Musical Interpretation: Laura Silberberg on piano
