Overview: Visionary and idealist, Vidor’s energetic concern with the future of cinema as well as his strong grasp of the forces which shaped its history make this a particularly thoughtful and thought-provoking program. His greatest films — “The Big Parade”, “Show People” and “The Crowd” were silents. He also directed the outstanding adventure drama, “Northwest Passage”; “Duel in the Sun”, an epic western; and a remarkable film adaptation of Tolstoy’s novel “War and Peace”.
