What a beautiful film. I am totally in love with Louise Brooks - she is a doll. This film is her "Sergeant Pepper" as it showcases her at the peak of her creative career in every way.Why there is no DVD release of this mega-classic film is a sin! If any silent film deserves the "Criterion treatment", this is the one! Until its release, we must depend on VHS versions of the film such as this one. The film is presented un-tinted, in true black and white, with a piano score that is quite suitable to the "feel" of the time period.For me, this movie works best as a short-hand overview of the roaring twenties and their demise. In the first act of the picture, gorgeous young Lulu (played brilliantly by Brooks, who looks and acts so incredibly "modern" throughout), is having a real ball being the girl about town. But after her husband's death, she tragically predicts the market crash of 1929 almost prohetically, by her poverty in England and her untimely demise at the end of the film.My favorite scene is where she is caught frolicking backstage with another woman's fiance. Brooks, with hair disheveled, has that "I've been [messing]-around with your man, but so what" deliciously guilty expression on her beautiful face. Brooks plays it like a woman who's been there/done that, and looks absolutely sexy in the act.Louise Brooks earns my vote as the sexiest actress of all-time; and this, her landmark role proves it!
