E.A. (Varieté) Dupont's Piccadilly stars the sultry Anna May Wong in one of her greatest roles. One of the last silent movies to be made before the advent of talkies, the 1929 silent masterpiece has been brilliantly restored by the British Film Institute.
Anna May Wong was angry and disappointed when an onscreen kiss with her costar Jameson Thomas was excised—the abrupt cut as they start to embrace feels like a panicked denial. The film’s understated ending matches the wit of its opening, but with a surprisingly cynical wallop.
One of Wong’s European productions, Piccadilly unfolds in a swinging London nightclub. Wong plays Shosho, a dishwasher who is fired for distracting the kitchen staff with her dancing. But when the club’s star leaves, Shosho is hired back to perform and becomes an overnight sensation.
