Piccadilly

A British silent murder mystery about Shosho (Anna May Wong, SHANGHAI EXPRESS), scullery maid turned dancer from China, who finds herself caught up in a crooked liaison between a suave nightclub owner Valentine and an obsessive fellow dancer Mabel (Gilda Gray). Features a cameo by Charles Laughton in his feature debut. This is E.A. Duponts original silent, with a commissioned score by Neil Brand, and amber and blue tinting as appeared in an original 1929 print. This stylish and evocative Jazz Age melodrama, was actually filmed in Londons Piccadilly at the Cafe de Paris and seedy Limehouse in the East End.
