Clara Bow
“It" (1927)
Dir: Clarence Badger US
Running time: 72mins
To complete today’s trio of Clara Bow events Slapstick is screening her most celebrated and box office record-breaking film, “IT" (1927).
In this delightful comedy, the quintessential flapper, Clara Bow, is captured at the height of her charm in the definitive Jazz Age romantic comedy. Inspired by Elinor Glyn, who uses the titular pronoun to encapsulate the spirit of the sexually-liberated youth of Prohibition-era America, a lingerie salesgirl (Bow) sets her sights on the handsome owner (Antonio Moreno) of the department store in which she works. Leading to a romantic chase from the Hotel Ritz to the whirling attractions of Coney Island, Betty Lou (Bow) decides to crash a high-society yacht party in a last-ditch
effort to get her man.
With a synchronised score composed by Carl Davis. There has been a change to the above event this will now be accompanied LIVE on Piano by Daan Van Den Hurk
introduced by comedian Lucy Porter.
This film is not BBFC Certificated. The festival team suggest parental guidance
