CHICAGO |
The Original 1927 Silent Classic Restored |

SPECIAL PRICE $29.96 (39.95) 2-DVD edition |

Like the musical Chicago that won Best Picture and five other Oscars in 2002, this original 1927 version descends from a 1926 hit Broadway play by Maurine Watkins. It’s a terrifically entertaining mix of humor and melodrama as well as a pungent critique of trash journalism. This deluxe 2-disc collection includes two excellent bonus films: The Golden Twenties (1950), a compilation documentary feature and Oscar-winning Lauren Lazin’s The Flapper Story (1985), in which several self-declared children of the roaring twenties look back on their youthful lives. |
