Description
Manager to flat broke, unsuccessful boxer “Kid” O’Brien (Armstrong), fame-hungry “Circus” McKee (Cook) works up a scheme to pass Kid off as an aspiring writer. But will Kid’s newfound celebrity help when he faces off against the middleweight champion? Full of delightful late-1920s slang and visual gags, Celebrity will be presented in an archival 35mm print from the Library of Congress. Live piano by David Drazin. (AM)
