SEE EVENT DETAILS
35 mm PRINT!
PRECEDED BY COMEDY SHORT
We’re thrilled to welcome back the talented musicians of the Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra to accompany Buster Keaton’s Spite Marriage (1929), screened in a 35mm print. Keaton’s final silent before the talkies took over, Spite Marriage stars Keaton as a lovelorn fan obsessed with a stage star played by Dorothy Sebastian. When she impulsively decides to take a husband to make her former lover jealous, Buster happens to be in the right place at the right time. But it’s going to take an encounter with smugglers, some dangerous stunts and incredible acrobatics before the happy ending can come along. The feature will be preceded by a hilarious comedy short from the silent era. Program approximately 90 minutes plus post-screening discussion.
