Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Sep 17, 2008 – Oct 19, 2008
Daily
$10
As the House that Ruth Built (in 1923) hosts its final game this weekend, the MoMA transports spectators to New York's movie scene in the Roaring '20s. The sepia-toned film series shifts the historic spotlight from the Dream Factory onto our naked city, where directors championed an independent, art-first message during the medium's formative years. Filmed on location and on lots (like Paramount's Astoria Studios and Biograph's Bronx branch), the highlights include D.W. Griffith's icy melodrama Way Down East (1920), starring wide-eyed doyenne Lillian Gish; John Barrymore in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920); and Louise Brooks' bob cut in Love 'Em and Leave 'Em (1926).
