Live piano accompaniment by Steve Sterner

(1924) Griffith’s epic of the American Revolution, complete with Bunker Hill, Paul Revere’s Ride, and Carol Dempster, until Neil Hamilton has to make a tough moral decision, even as Lionel Barrymore’s Captain Walter Butler (historical turncoat and renegade) steals the show. Approx. 140 min. 35mm.
