Join your Art Deco friends for a Saturday night at the movies! ADSC member and film aficionado Isabella Miller will introduce the fabulous 1933 pre-code Bette Davis film, Ex-Lady.

The stars of this romantic drama are Bette Davis, Gene Raymond and Frank McHugh. With snappy dialogue, progressive subject matter and Orry-Kelly gowns, this was Davis’ first starring role. The film is 67 minutes long.

Summary: Helen Bauer, a glamorous professional artist with modern ideas about sexual relationships, is in love with Don Peterson, an advertising executive. Though the couple scorns marriage, they acquiesce to her father’s wishes and marry. Soon, each discover that marriage puts unwelcome constraints on their lifestyle and they begin experimenting with living arrangements and embark on a journey back to each other.

Advance sign-up is required! Admission is free (though of course your donations to the ADSC are welcome).
