Eye For Film >> Festivals >> EIFF >> 2007 >> Retrospective: Anita Loos
The theme for this year's festival is Cinema And The Written Word, so it seems a fitting tribute that the organisers have picked Hollywood script queen Anita Loos for their retrospective. The programme states she was "a writer whose career took her from the silents through the Golden Age of the studios. She wrote for iconic directors, and made great actors into stars". In addition to the Loos features screening, there is also a special talk, Anita Loos Rediscovered, which offers the chance to see two of her early short films.
