SCREENING

The Girl from Missouri

Saturday, Feb 15 at 2:00 p.m.

Location: Bartos Screening Room

Snubbed Forever: Jean Harlow 

Dir. Jack Conway. 1934, 75 mins. U.S. 35mm. With Jean Harlow, Franchot Tone, Lionel Barrymore, Patsy Kelly. Sultry superstar Jean Harlow owned the screen in the “pre-code” good ol’ bad days, and she’s outstanding in this comic drama in which the bombshell plays the quintessential role of a waitress and dance girl who escapes with her loose-lipped pal (Kelly) to New York from dead-end Kansas City to start over. In the hopes of landing a millionaire, without sacrificing her virtue, she finds herself falling into one startling occurrence after another. The Girl from Missouri is a grand showcase for Harlow’s expert mix of seductive comedy and poignant humanity.
