The Girl With A Hat Box is a delicious screwball rom-com directed by Boris Barnet, often hailed as the master of Soviet silent cinema.
It stars the Ukrainian/Swedish beauty Anna Sten, who was later whisked to Hollywood by Sam Goldwyn who dubbed her ‘the new Greta Garbo’.
In the film, Sten plays a hat maker caught in a love triangle and challenges involving a room rental scam and a winning lottery ticket.
Introduced by Lucy Porter.
With live piano accompaniment by Daan van den Hurk
