Throughout the 1920s, MGM released a series of lavishIy-produced films showcasing the talents of comic actress Marion Davies, often pIacing her in nostalgic turn-of-the-century settings. Among the most elaborate of these vehicles was Lights of Old Broadway, set among the music haIIs and shantytowns of what was soon to become known as the Great White Way, just before the streets and marquees were electrified, forever changing the face of New York City. Davies pIays twins, orphaned in childhood, who grow up unaware of one another’s existence. Anne is taken in by weaIthy socialites, whiIe scrappy Fely lives with the brawIing lrish-American O’Tandy famiIy. CIass-conscious romantic entangIements ensue, enIivened by Davies’s boundless physicaI energy and impeccable comic timing. This 2K master was derived from from the Library of Congress’s 2018 35mm preservation of the film, which includes footage coIored via three different techniques: two-strip TechnicoIor, the HandschiegI process, and color tinting (evidence of the star’s prestige at MGM).
