This is a rare prime-time showing of German director G.W. Pabst’s 1929 silent film, which presented Louise Brooks as Lulu – a once-innocent showgirl who descends into a whirlpool of sin and depravity, leaving many men (and even a woman or two) in her hedonistic wake. One small but fun footnote: Brooks was an American actress, born in Kansas, who was hired by Pabst and flown to Germany to star in Pandora’s Box. Another, even smaller footnote: On the occasions when Bewitched star Elizabeth Montgomery, who played suburban witch Samantha, also portrayed the dual role of her hedonistic brunette cousin Serena, the credits listed the actress playing Serena not as Elizabeth Montgomery, but as “Pandora Spocks.”
