Underworld

19271 hr 20 min35mm

This gritty, silent crime drama ignited the gangster genre and made a name for its then-unknown director Josef von Sternberg. George Bancroft is “Bull” Weed, an unforgiving kingpin who rules the crime world in Prohibition-era Chicago. When a rival makes the moves on his girl, “Bull” Weed goes to violent lengths to get revenge. Visually stunning with dazzling montages, experimental POV shots, and innovative chiaroscuro lighting, it is no surprise von Sternberg got his start as a projectionist!

Print provided by Paramount Pictures. Presented with a live original score by renowned accompanist Ben Model.
