Beggars Of Life — “When it comes to cinematography, acting and
plot, this is the best film of the season,” said Hart. “The star Louise
Brooks had the gift that Marilyn Monroe had — she was just electric on
film, she was just beautiful.” Hart added that, in a time when
stunt-doubles were rare, the chase scene on top of a train is legendary
and “breathtaking.”(1928, 100 minutes. Screens Aug. 15.)
