Louise Brooks - It's the Old Army Game (1926) | A Love Suicide

Описание: https://louisebrooks.co/ With lyrics like “alone but sane, I am a love suicide” and “I am a victim of your charms,” the song A Love Suicide serves as the backdrop for the best parts of the film It’s the Old Army Game. The 1926 American silent comedy film starred Louise Brooks, W.C. Fields, and William Gaxton. This is Brooks’ fourth film; at just 19 years old and for the second time in a female lead role, she plays the part of shop girl Mildred.

Lulu dazzles from start to finish as a beautiful young woman who catches the eye of salesman George, an older man involved in a drugstore scam. Fans of Louise Brooks will enjoy watching the pursuit of Mildred by George as he dodges traffic in his quest to find “the pretty girl,” only to be distracted by someone else along the way.

As a silent film star, Brooksie’s career was defined by daring and unconventional roles in movies like Pandora’s Box and Diary of a Lost Girl in the 1920s. Her signature haircut and flapper style made her an icon of that generation while her rebellion worked in tandem with her unmatched talent.

The song A Love Suicide is the main theme of the PlayStation 2 game Rule of Rose, one of the rarest in the game maker’s history. Music for the song is performed by The Hiroshi Murayama Trio and soundtrack composer Hiroshi Murayama is featured on the piano; vocals are sung by Kaori Kondo, Murayama's wife.
