Piccadilly DVD Movie
Piccadilly Description: "Valentine, the owner of the popular Piccadilly Club, finds his lead male attraction, Victor Smiles (Cyril Ritchard), has quit and that the public has judged Victor's female partner as over the hill. Now another dancer must be found… and when a customer (Charles Laughton in his first feature film) complains of a dirty dish, Valentine discovers the answer to all his problems - down in the club's kitchen! Transitioning from Hollywood to Europe, Anna May Wong delivers an electric, sexually charged performance as Shosho, the Chinese scullery maid who overnight becomes the toast of London - and the object of sexual desire of all around her. The camera adores Wong, and against Alfred Junge's astonishing set design, her beauty glows in every frame. Piccadilly was the brilliant apex to director E.A. Dupont's trilogy of backstage life (Variete and Moulin Rouge), showcasing the director's signature mix of great acting, amazing imagery and astonishing camera movements.
