Virtual Saturday Night at the Movies

By Toronto Film Society on August 28, 2026

Toronto Film Society will be screening Alfred Hitchcock’s Lady Windermere’s Fan (1925) straight to your home on Tuesday, September 29, 2026 at 7:15 p.m. (ET)! Directed by Ernst Lubitsch, starring Ronald Colman, Irene Rich and May McAvoy.

Join us on National Silent Film Day! Our fabulous pre-show begins at 7:15 pm and the programme begins at 7:30 pm.

Directed by the legendary Ernst Lubitsch, Lady Windermere’s Fan (1925) is a sophisticated silent comedy-drama adapted from Oscar Wilde’s celebrated play.

When Lady Windermere begins to suspect that her husband is involved with the mysterious and scandalous Mrs. Erlynne, jealousy, secrets, and social convention collide, putting reputations and relationships at risk. Featuring May McAvoy, Irene Rich, Bert Lytell, and Ronald Colman, the film transforms Wilde’s comedy of manners into an elegant showcase for Lubitsch’s famously witty visual storytelling.

Selected for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry, Lady Windermere’s Fan remains one of the great silent-era adaptations of Wilde: stylish, clever, and surprisingly modern.
