An Original Vintage Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh) (Learn More) Ten Modern Commandments, the 1927 Dorothy Arzner silent New York City romantic theater stage acting comedy (about a young woman whose family are all stage actors, but she refuses to follow them, even working as a maid; she meets a songwriter, and she tries to help him sell his song to a famous Broadway singer, and she ends up auditioning the song herself for the singer's show producer, who likes the song, which greatly helps her boyfriend, and wins her his love) starring Esther Ralston, Neil Hamilton, Arthur Hoyt, Jocelyn Lee, and El Brendel. Like most of director Arzner's movies, this one dealt with a very independent woman who "goes her own way" in life! Also note that Dorothy Arzner was a director from the 1920s to the 1940s, and she was the only woman director during the "Golden Age" of Hollywood ('20s to '40s) and she was the first woman to join the Directors Guild of America. Arzner was a lesbian at a time when almost no females openly were, and she was surprisingly open about it, often dressing in "men's clothes" and wearing her hair short. She made many "women's movies" and movies with a "feminist" theme. After making "First Comes Courage" in 1943, she made training films for the U.S. Army WACs, and she never returned to making Hollywood movies, becoming a film teacher of directing and screenwriting, teaching at UCLA until her passing in 1979. Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
