The Affairs of Anatol
Live musical accompaniment by Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra
The last of the Gloria Swanson silents directed by Cecil B. DeMille is a star-studded, gluttonous treat for the eyes, its lavish sets and opulent costumes by DeMille regulars Paul Iribe and Clare West. The New York Times said it best when they called it “a magnificent puppet show, legitimately and logically excessive in every way.” Now restored with its Handschiegl color accents.
