(William Wyler, US 1929, 66 min., 35mm)
William Wyler | Silent Tuesday. Working with the sole surviving print of William Wyler’s The Shakedown, the George Eastman Museum has restored this visual tour de force, proudly presented here in 35mm. James Murray is a boxer whose turbulent life is turned around when he makes the inspiring acquaintance of a young orphan. Look for a 22-year-old John Huston in an uncredited performance and a cameo by director Wyler himself.
Live piano by Philip C. Carli.
