The Virginian
DeMille’s film The Virginian is an exciting adaptation of Owen Wister’s classic novel, which explores how free agency, high spirits and the natural desire for material gain are tempered by both moral values and law and order – surely a tale for our times. The title character, a handsome cowboy named only by his native state, fights for honor and the love of a woman while working hard to create a life for them both in the untamed West. As always, Dr. Carli’s introduction illuminates its place in silent film history, and his expertly improvised piano accompaniment to the film brings it to new life.
