PICCADILLY is a 1929 drama about the owner of a London club who falls for a Chinese dancer who becomes his star attraction.

violence
A woman is attacked by a man, who attempts to strangle her before shooting her with a pistol. In another sequence, a man is seen with some blood on his face and around his mouth; we are informed he has shot himself. These sequences are discreet and there is no focus on detail.
additional issues
Characters are frequently seen smoking, and in one sequence a black man is ejected from a night club for dancing with a white woman, who is in turn scolded by her peers. These moments are reflective of the time in which the film was made and set. There are also some very mild references suggesting a sexual affair between two characters.
