Enjoy a special film screening of legendary filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock's first thriller, The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog, with live musical accompaniment.
Hitchcock's first critical and commercial success, The Lodger is a film adaptation of Marie Belloc Lowndes' 1913 novel of the same name. This haunting silent thriller tells the tale of a mysterious young man (matinee idol Ivor Novello). He takes up residence at a London boarding house just as a killer known as the Avenger descends upon the city, preying on blonde women. The new lodger at Mrs Bunting's house is secretive and odd - and he matches the description of the killer. But could such a beautiful young man really be a killer?
The Hitchcockian atmosphere is enhanced with specially-created live music performed by a trio of musicians from Yorkshire Silent Film Festival: Liz Hanks (cello), Trevor Bartlett (percussion), and Jonny Best (piano).
The screening will be introduced by Professor Michael Williams, Professor of Film Studies at the University of Southampton, and author of Ivor Novello: Screen Idol.
Presented by Turner Sims in association with Southampton Film Week.
