The 1928 Louise Brooks film, A Girl in Every Port, will be shown in New York city on Sunday at the Museum of the Moving Image. The screening led the New Yorker magazine to write-up the film nearly 90 years after its debut. Read the New Yorker piece by Richard Brody here.
Screening & Live Event
A Girl in Every Port
Part of The Complete Howard Hawks

With live music by Donald Sosin
Dir. Howard Hawks. 1928, 64 mins. 35mm print from the collection of George Eastman House. With Victor McLaglen, Louise Brooks, Robert Armstrong. This cynical sex farce about two globetrotting sailors (McLaglen and Armstrong) who fight over a woman (Brooks) and then become best friends was described by Hawks as “a love story between two men.” The film is notable for bringing cult screen icon-to-be Louise Brooks to the attention of director G.W. Pabst for his upcoming Pandora’s Box.
Free with Museum admission on a first-come, first-served basis. Museum members may reserve tickets in advance by calling 718 777 6800.
