In this print from the British Film Institute, we are transported back to 1927, where the legendary Dorothy Gish graces the screen in Herbert Wilcox's "Madame Pompadour". Dressed in an exquisite ball gown, Gish epitomizes glamour and elegance as she portrays a character that captivated audiences of her time. The restoration of this photograph allows us to appreciate every intricate detail. The delicate folds of her gown cascade effortlessly, accentuating her graceful presence. The craftsmanship behind the costume is truly remarkable; it reflects the opulence and grandeur associated with the era. Dorothy Gish's talent shines through even in still images like this one. Her expressive eyes convey a myriad of emotions, leaving us intrigued about Madame Pompadour's story.
