1929 | Not Rated | 65 minutes | DCP | with live piano accompaniment by David Drazin | Click title for details

A heartwarming boxing drama directed by Hollywood legend, William Wyler.  Dave Roberts (James Murray) is a fighter better known for taking falls in fixed fights than for taking home the prize money.  He is part of a traveling team of scammers that fleece gamblers across the country.  But then he falls head-over-heels for a fiery waitress (Barbara Kent) and a rough-and-tumble orphan (Jack Hanlon), and he begins to dramatically alter his life inside and outside of the ring.

This wonderful screen gem is enhanced by live piano accompaniment from Cleveland native David Drazin, an accomplished virtuoso with a talent for playing off the cuff. David selects the perfect piece from his impressive mental repertoire to heighten the viewing experience for our audience. In addition to knowing just the right thing to play for any silent film imaginable, David is also an expert in jazz, classical, blues, and boogie-woogie. Having his talent truly makes our Silent September series something to behold.

Safety precautions are in place for in-person programs according to library guidelines. Please review our current safety guidelines prior to attending an in-person event.
