Street AngelBorzage's lavishly-produced landmark remains a late silent classic for its stark set design, wonderful chiaroscuro cinematography by Ernest Palmer and characteristically romantic portrait of doomed love.
In Naples, a destitute woman (Janet Gaynor in an Oscar-winning performance) poses as a prostitute and steals money to buy medicine for her ailing mother. Caught and arrested, she escapes and ends up in a travelling carnival, where she falls for a dashing artist.
Screens with Borzage's The Pitch o' Chance (25 mins, USA, 1915), a western melodrama.
