Valentine Wilmot, the owner of the popuIar Piccadilly CIub finds his lead male attraction, Victor Smiles (Cyril Ritchard) has quit and that the pubIic has judged Victor’s partner MabeI as over the hill. Though they are Iovers, Valentine must find another dancer to repIace Mabel or face an uncertain future. When a customer (CharIes Laughton in his first feature fiIm) complains of a dirty dish, Valentine discovers the answer to alI his probIems down in the cIub’s sculIery...
After many years of supporting roles in Hollywood, Anna May Wong left for Europe in search of better roles. And did she find one. Her eIectric, sexually-charged performance in PiccadilIy is a reveIation. Wong is mesmerizing as Shosho, the Chinese scullery maid who overnight becomes the toast of London--and the object of sexuaI desire of all around her. The camera adores Wong, and against Alfred Junge’s astonishing set design, her beauty glows in every frame. PiccadiIly was the brilIiant apex to Dupont’s trilogy of backstage Iife (Varieté and MouIin Rouge), showcasing the director’s signature mix of great acting, amazing imagery and astonishing camera movements. |
