Letty Lynton

TCM Writer Hannah Jack will join us in person to introduce this screening and talk about the decades-long battle to restore the film and make it accessible to audiences again, spearheaded by Crawford’s grandson, Casey Lalonde.

After 90 years of being trapped in legal limbo, this controversial Joan Crawford drama is ready to make its grand return to the big screen. Crawford pours her heart into the role of Letty, a Manhattan socialite trapped in a loveless affair with a cruel partner. She falls in love with another man on a steamship and goes to drastic lengths to leave her toxic relationship. Featuring one of the most iconic costumes of the era—the white organdy gown with endless ruffled sleeves designed by Adrian that set the tone for a whole decade of romanticized fashion—and one of the first to be made available in Macy’s, where it sold more than a half a million gowns.

Presented on 35mm.
