EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black-and-white photograph, Isobel Jeans exudes an aura of sophistication and allure as she poses for a promotional shoot for her role in Alfred Hitchcock's groundbreaking silent film, "Easy Virtue" (1927). Dressed in a chic, form-fitting flapper dress with intricate beading and a low neckline, Jeans embodies the spirit of the Jazz Age and the liberated 1920s. Her expressive eyes, accentuated by thick eyeliner and mascara, gaze intently into the camera, while her platinum bob frames her face, a style synonymous with the era. Directed by the legendary Alfred Hitchcock and produced by Michael Balcon at Islington Studios for Gainsborough Pictures, "Easy Virtue" marked a significant departure from the British film industry's traditional narrative. The film, based on Noel Coward's play of the same name, explores themes of morality, class, and social norms through the story of a young woman, Larita, who marries an English aristocrat but is shunned by his family due to her past. Isobel Jeans, a rising star in British cinema, was the perfect choice to portray Larita. Her charisma and talent shone through in her performances, making her a favorite among audiences and critics alike. This photograph, taken during the promotional campaign for "Easy Virtue," encapsulates the glamour and excitement surrounding the film and its star. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of British silent films and the pivotal role that Isobel Jeans and Alfred Hitchcock played in shaping the cinematic landscape of the 1920s. This image, with its timeless elegance and allure, continues to captivate audiences and inspire filmmakers to this day.
