About

Le Mystère de la Tour Eiffel (The Mystery of the Eiffel Tower) is a thrilling silent caper-comedy from influential French filmmaker Julien Duvivier. When a circus star inherits an enormous fortune, his act partner teams up with a shadowy crime syndicate – whose secret base is located within the Eiffel Tower – to prevent him from collecting the riches. Rollicking adventures and dangerous escapades ensue, climaxing with a white-knuckle chase up the titular icon as the streets of Paris sprawl out below.

Newly digitally restored from a sole surviving nitrate film print, The Mystery of the Eiffel Tower will be presented with live musical accompaniment from David Bailey on the Gallery's 1929 Wurlitzer organ.
