This film is presented by Silents, Please! STL and will feature a special introduction from SPSTL’s Kate Stewart.

“A ravishing example of the incandescent grandeur of Swanson and Valentino.” (Nick Schager)

In 1950’s SUNSET BOULEVARD, aging silent star Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson) proclaimed, “We didn’t need dialogue. We had faces!” In this 1922 film starring the aforementioned Gloria Swanson and silent heartthrob Rudolph Valentino you’ll get all the faces! In this story of unfulfilled romance and desire, you’ll see the only time these titans of silent film appear together on screen. The camera loves them both and you’ll be swept up by their presence and charisma. August in St. Louis is hot and steamy – and we will turn it up a notch. To keep cool, the first 18 guests will receive your very own Valentino hand fan. So, grab your smelling salts and your best fainting pillow and join us for a sizzler of an evening on the backlot. Swoon!
