2021 / 16mm / b&w / sound / 1S / 64' 15

On Laird Cregar, first famous for playing Oscar Wilde on stage, dead at age 31 as a result of a crash diet undertaken to transform him into a matinee idol. His roles – lovesick murderers, snobs, arrogant criminals, and Jack the Ripper – are surveyed in this film, and followed by an expansion of his final scene, in Hangover Square, where he plays his piano concerto even as a blaze engulfs the theatre.
