Synopsis

Self-centred Roxie Hart is adored by her husband. She’s having an affair with one of his customers, Casely, who, tired of Roxie’s wily ways, attempts to leave her, triggering a stream of events that lead to Roxie’s notoriety.

MUBI's take

Here’s a treat from the archives! The original jazz era Chicago, before the musical, before Ginger Rogers, a sassy silent melodrama. Co-directed by Cecil B. DeMille (who kept his name off it due to his Bible-based image) and restored in HD by our friends at Flicker Alley, it’s ripe for rediscovery.
