Anybody's Woman (Arzner, 1930): BFI Southbank, NFT2, 8.30pm
This 35mm presentation, which is part of the Dorothey Arzner season at BFI Southbank, also screens on February 9th. Full details here.
BFI introduction:
Arzner always insisted on the importance of the screenwriter. Her
collaborations with Zoe Akins demonstrated the value and potency of the
relationship between director and writer. Anybody’s Woman tells the
story of broken-hearted lawyer Neil and cynical burlesque performer
Pansy, who drunkenly marry and decide to make their mismatched marriage
work. This quintessentially pre-Code film marked the second
collaboration for the director, writer and star.
Here (and above) is an introduction to Dorothy Arzner's film career.
