Above I’ve posted the Jeanne Eagels starring vehicle ‘The Letter’ from 1929. Click here to read my post from earlier this week about Eagels tragic life and brilliant career. The movie is well worth watching and only runs 60 minutes. In my collection of antique New Yorker Magazines I found a thumbnail review of the film. From the March 23, 1929 issue we read: ‘The Letter: Jeanne Eagels in the best serious talking picture to date. (Criterion, Broadway at 44th; 2:45 and 8:45 PM; Sunday,3, 6 and 8:45 PM.) Give it a watch–it’s an antique, yes, but a very fascinating one.
