<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This first ever study of "Beggars of Life" looks at the film Oscar-winning director William Wellman thought his finest silent movie. Based on Jim Tully's bestselling book of hobo life-and filmed by Wellman the year after he made "Wings" (the first film to win the Best Picture Oscar), "Beggars of Life" is a riveting drama about an orphan girl (screen legend Louise Brooks) who kills her abusive stepfather and flees the law. She meets a boy tramp (leading man Richard Arlen), and together they ride the rails through a dangerous hobo underground ruled over by Oklahoma Red (future Oscar winner Wallace Beery). "Beggars of Life" showcases Brooks in her best American silent-a film the "Cleveland Plain Dealer" described as "a raw, sometimes bleeding slice of life." With more than 50 little seen images, and a foreword by William Wellman, Jr.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Thomas Gladysz is an author and film historian and the Director of the Louise Brooks Society (www.pandorasbox.com), which he founded in 1995.
