Enjoy a screening of the 1925 film Body and Soul as part of the Toledo Museum of Art’s movie series, The Sound of Silents. Directed by Oscar Micheaux, the most “successful African-American filmmaker of the first half of the 20th century,” this movie, one of three surviving silent films created by Michaeux, tells a story of love, deception and the power of the cloth. Paul Robeson, making his film debut, plays the dual roles of a well-meaning inventor and an escaped prisoner posing as a preacher.
