A 1928 linen-finish half-sheet (22 by 28 inches) for the Fox Film Corporation production directed by Frank Borzage. Borzage's late silents are the high point of American romantic melodrama, and Street Angel's fluid camerawork shows how thoroughly Fox had absorbed the German technique it had imported along with Murnau. Its lead performance was recognised at the first Academy Awards. The linen finish — a fine woven texture applied to the stock — visible in the scan as a regular grain across the flat colour areas. A city that never existed, lit for love.
