Description
Base painting for the vintage movie poster ''Lady of the Pavements'', a 1929 American silent drama film directed by D.W. Griffith, starring Lupe Velez. The film is set in Vienna and follows the story of a spirited young woman named Angela (played by Lupe Velez), who works as a street singer and dancer known as a "lady of the pavements."
Angela is a vivacious and free-spirited character who captivates the hearts of those around her with her beauty and charm. Despite her humble origins, she dreams of a better life and yearns for love and acceptance.
The plot takes a dramatic turn when Angela meets Karl von Arnim (played by William Boyd), a wealthy aristocrat who becomes enamored with her. Karl offers to take Angela under his wing and provide her with a life of luxury and privilege, but their romance faces opposition from Karl's disapproving family and society's rigid class distinctions.
As Angela navigates the complexities of her relationship with Karl and grapples with the challenges of societal expectations, she must confront the harsh realities of love and sacrifice.
"Lady of the Pavements" is notable for its lavish production design and sweeping romantic melodrama, typical of films from the silent era. Lupe Velez delivers a captivating performance as Angela, infusing the character with warmth, vitality, and emotional depth.
While the film may be considered somewhat melodramatic by modern standards, it remains a fascinating artifact of its time, offering a window into the cinematic styles and storytelling conventions of the late silent era.
Overall, "Lady of the Pavements" is a visually stunning and emotionally engaging film that showcases Lupe Velez's talent and charisma as a leading lady of the silent screen.
