Wings is best known today as the winner of the first Academy Award for Best Picture in 1927—the only silent film so honored. With its depictions of dogfights and re-creations of epic land battles, Wings proved to be in the earliest class of Hollywood spectacle pictures. It's a big, bold piece of entertainment that explores the limits of what could be achieved in a motion picture.
Silent Movie Night is a program created by Jeff Thomas, pianist, composer, and MAC Music Director. Join him monthly in recreating the experience of live music and classic film.
