One of the most lavish British films of the silent era in both budget and scope, Moulin Rouge stars Jean Bradin, Eve Gray and Russian-German screen sensation Olga Tschechowa in the story of a young aristocrat driven to a suicide attempt after falling in love with a young dancer and her elegant, ravishingly beautiful mother. Set in and around the famous dance-halls of Paris, Moulin Rouge showcased British International Pictures' engagement of leading Continental film-makers during the late 1920s. The first British film directed by expressionist pioneer Ewald Andre... Dupont, it also features Werner Brandes' stylish, distinctively European cinematography and art direction by Oscar winner Alfred Junge. Filmed at Elstree through the winter of 1927, the film was originally trade shown in March 1928 as a silent film with live musical accompaniment. It was re-released in 1929 with a recorded, synchronised score by John Reynders. SPECIAL FEATURES: Image gallery Original script PDF [show more]

Silent musical drama directed by E. A. Dupont and starring Olga Tschechowa, Eve Gray and Jean Bradin. Parysia (Tschechowa) is perhaps the most sought after woman in Paris due in no small part to her performances as a revue artist. She has a daughter called Margaret (Gray) who is engaged to Andre (Bradin), but Andre's father takes issue with the arrangement due to the nature of Parysia's profession. Little does the innocent young Margaret realise that she is not the only woman interested in Andre.
