The Dryden will screen Indiscreet (Leo McCarey, U.S. 1932, 73 min., 35mm) as part of the National Endowment for the Arts series.

Gloria Swanson stars in this effervescent pre-Code comedy from legendary Hollywood director Leo McCarey. A fashion designer finds herself caught in a farcical web of lies as she endeavors to keep her sister apart from a former flame. Though better remembered today for her work in silent melodramas, Swanson was a charming comedienne.
