Saturday Cinema: A Screening of "Possessed"

  • Zoom link with registration (map)

Join your Art Deco friends for a Saturday night at the movies! ADSC member and film aficionado Isabella Miller will introduce the fabulous 1931 pre-code film, Possessed.

The stars of this romantic drama are Joan Crawford and Clark Gable. Directed by Clarence Brown, this was one of the first films that helped established Crawford's sophisticated, post-flapper image. The film is 76 minutes long.

Synopsis: Marion is a factory worker who hopes to trade the assembly line for a beautiful penthouse apartment. Mark Whitney, a wealthy and influential lawyer, can make her dreams come true, but there is only one problem: He will give her everything but a marriage proposal. Will this affair ever lead to marriage?

Advance sign-up (by 5pm on September 5) is required! Admission is free (though of course your donations to the ADSC are welcome).

Dress up, mix yourself a drink and tune in! You will receive a Zoom link 2 hours before the event. The screening will be followed by a live Q&A.
