Italian Silent Film at Bing

Share

“Classics of the Italian Silent Cinema” continues tonight at 8 at LACMA’s Bing Theater with Enrico Guazzoni’s 1913 “Anthony and Cleopatra,” which is nowhere near as complex as the remarkable “Cabiria.” Nevertheless, it is entertaining, easy to follow and boasts stupendous sets, an eloquent sense of movement and a Queen of the Nile (Gianna Terribili Gonzalez) huskier than her handsome leading man (Amleto Novelli). Playing with it are several delightful shorts; organ accompaniment by Robert Israel.
