Wonders of the Wurlitzer: 'Wings'

  • Lucas Theatre 32 Abercorn Street Savannah, GA, 31401 United States (map)

This Spring, experience the soaring cinematic grandeur of WINGS — the first film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture, and still the only silent film to do so. This spectacular tribute to American aviators stars "It Girl" Clara Bow as a woman caught in a romantic rivalry between two flyboys fighting in the skies above Western Europe during World War I. With live organ accompaniment by silent film music maestro Clark Wilson, one of the most prominent and recognized scorers of silent photoplay in the world, the thunderous emotional power of the Mighty Wurlitzer underscores every hair-raising dogfight and tender moment, creating an unforgettable evening that celebrates the unparalleled artistry of early film. 

"Master of silent film and showman of the first order." - Leonard Maltin
