EDITORS COMMENTS
This scene is taken from the 1929 British silent film, "City of Play," directed by Denison Clift and featuring the enchanting Chili Bouchier. The film, set in the vibrant and lively 1920s, tells the story of a young woman named Nan (Bouchier) who becomes entangled in the seedy underworld of London's Islington district. In this particular moment from the movie, Nan can be seen in a jazz club, surrounded by the energetic sounds and rhythms of the age. The room is filled with the laughter and chatter of patrons, all lost in the moment as they dance and enjoy the music. The original press kit for "City of Play" describes this scene as "a vivid and exciting portrayal of the Jazz Age in London," and it is easy to see why. The cinematography captures the raw energy and excitement of the era, while Bouchier's performance as Nan is both captivating and heartfelt. The scene is a testament to the power of the silver screen to transport us to another time and place. "City of Play" was produced by Gainsborough Pictures and was released in 1929. The film is an important piece of cinematic history, offering a unique glimpse into the past and showcasing the talent of both Clift and Bouchier. This image serves as a reminder of the rich history of British silent films and the enduring allure of the 1920s.
