Piccadilly (1929) - silent film with church organ accompaniment

“A film noir before the term was in use, Piccadilly is one of the true greats of British silent films, on par with the best work of Anthony Asquith or [silent] Alfred Hitchcock” (Mark Duguid, BFI).

A tale of desire, jealousy and murder set and filmed on the atmospheric streets of London, director E.A Dupont’s masterpiece is a sultry, scandalous and opulent contribution to the late silent era. The film stars the iconic Chinese-American actress Anna May Wong as the ultimate femme fatale.

See it in a candlelit church with popcorn and a drink. It will be accompanied on the church organ by Donald MacKenzie, resident organist at the Odeon Leicester Square. The organ was recently restored via a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Online booking essential as all previous screenings have sold out in advance.
