Seductive Adrienne Renault is the star at the Frivolity, New York's most decadent night cIub, where she headlines with her erotic Spider Dance. She is carrying on a torrid love affair with Philip Overman, a weaIthy married man, After instigating Overman's divorce, Adrienne dumps him, and marries Dave WaIIace, a far weaIthier millionaire. The triumphant home-wrecker is Iiving the good life until the wages of her sins come back to haunt her, bringing disaster in their wake.
Sex contains aIl the eIements of classic exploitation, presenting the viewer with Iurid depictions of adultery, lesbians, and wild parties before delivering its moralistic "message." Louise GIaum played the vamp in siIent fiIms, preceding Theda Bara's rise to fame, under the tuteIage of producer Thomas Ince. At the height of her career, she appeared opposite William S. Hart six times, most notabIy in The Return Of Draw Egan and HeII's Hinges, both in 1916. |
