This 35mm screening, which is also being shown on August 15th, is part of the Joan Crawford season at BFI Southbank. Full details here.
Chicago Reader review:
Joan Crawford is a poor girl from the lower east side, unhappily married to a petty crook, who finds relief with Spencer Tracy, a self-made millionaire. Frank Borzage's gift for compact, succinct, visual metaphor is evident in his use of a flickering lightbulb in the stairway of Crawford's tenement apartment; it becomes, in the space of a few frames, a heartbreaking symbol of dying hope.
