About Film: Women and Cocaine presents Anybody’s Woman (1930)
Broken-hearted lawyer Neil (Clive Brook) drunkenly marries cynical burlesque performer, Pansy (Ruth Chatterton) to spite his friends, family, and ex-wife. Despite not remembering his vows the next morning, Pansy is determined to make good and they decide to make their mismatched marriage work.
Directed by Dorothy Arzner, a film pioneer who created the first boom mic and developed innovative editing techniques. She was also, for a period, the only woman directing in the Hollywood studio system, and despite quitting the industry over 80 years ago, she remains its most prolific woman director. Her protagonists were snappy and headstrong, subverting traditional gender roles on a mission to determine their own identity, and in the darkly funny Anybody’s Woman, she offers a shrewd focus on gendered class dynamics.
The film will be preceded by a short introduction, and followed by a raffle.
Seating is unallocated. Service dogs welcome. Unfortunately, this film screening does not have closed captions or audio description available.
