OPIS:
This first ever study of Beggars of Life looks at the film Oscar-winning director William Wellman thought his finest silent movie. Based on Jim Tullys bestselling book of hobo life-and filmed by Wellman the year after he made Wings the first film to win the Best Picture Oscar Beggars of Life is a riveting drama about an orphan girl screen legend Louise Brooks who kills her abusive stepfather and flees the law. She meets a boy tramp leading man Richard Arlen and together they ride the rails through a dangerous hobo underground ruled over by Oklahoma Red future Oscar winner Wallace Beery. Beggars of Life showcases Brooks in her best American silent-a film the Cleveland Plain Dealer described as a raw sometimes bleeding slice of life. With more than 50 little seen images and a foreword by William Wellman Jr.
