Letty Lynton (1932)

Famously out of circulation since the 1930s due to copyright infringment charges, LETTY LYNTON  is one of pre-Code Hollywood's greatest lost treasures. The first screen adaptation of a well-known murder trial stars Joan Crawford in a contemporary story about a woman who flees her possessive paramour (Nils Asther) in South America and falls for American tycoon Robert Montgomery. It was a commercial and critical hit, as much for the glamorous gown made by MGM's costume designer Adrian as for the film itself. In fact, Macy's department store sold a replica of the white organdy gown with ruffled sleeves and it led to a wild fashion craze.

90 years later, with its legal impediments expired and the film meticulously restored, LETTY LYNTON finally returns to the screen, showcasing Crawford at her most glamorous.
