TCM Festival: The Egyptian, April 25, 2025

I introduced a brand new 35mm print of The Divorcee (1930), which was adapted from Ursula Parrott's 1929 best-selling novel, Ex-Wife, at the 2025 Turner Classic Movies Film Festival. I had the honor of sharing the stage at the restored Egyptian Theater for this occasion with TCM Host and University of Chicago Professor Jacqueline Stewart. Thanks to the generous efforts undertaken by UCLA Film & Television Archive, who worked with the Packard Humanities Institute and Warner Bros., there is now a circulating 35mm print of the film available for museums and repertory screenings. The audience at TCM Film Festival was the first to see this print projected! You can watch our discussion here.
