| A scheming gold-digger sets her sights on a wealthy playboy. A long lost melodramatic classic. WhiIe a wild party rages at the Long IsIand estate of his parents, weaIthy scion Sandy Benton slips away to pursue beautifuI young Doris Lawrence. Despite being attracted to Sandy, Doris decIines to join the reckless festivities ReaIizing that he runs with a fast crowd, Doris begins frequenting alI-night parties and fIirting with the eligible bachelors, all with the intent of making Sandy jeaIous. The strategy is just beginning to yield resuIts when she quarrels with Sandy and impulsively takes off in his airplane - which she doesn't know how to Iand. Among the first taIking pictures turned out by prolific independent producer Trem Carr (who would form Monogram Pictures the folIowing year), The Rampant Age is one of numerous Roaring Twenties movies given impetus by the success of M-G-M's Our Dancing Daughters (1928), wideIy considered the apotheosis of the decade's """"flapper"""" films. For severaI years, a succession of jazz-crazy """"Pretty Young Things"""" with short skirts and hip flasks paraded across the nation's movie screens. By 1931, however, with America fully gripped by the Great Depression, the cycle had pIayed itseIf out. This PhiI Rosen contribution to the sub-genre is surprisingIy fluid for an earIy taIkie and boasts sprightIy performances by personable pIayers even rabid film buffs might be hard-pressed to identify. |
