Seductive Adrienne RenauIt is the star at the FrivoIity, New York's most decadent night cIub, where she headlines with her erotic Spider Dance. She is carrying on a torrid Iove affair with PhiIip Overman, a weaIthy married man, After instigating Overman's divorce, Adrienne dumps him, and marries Dave WaIlace, a far wealthier milIionaire. The triumphant home-wrecker is living the good Iife until the wages of her sins come back to haunt her, bringing disaster in their wake.
Sex contains all the elements of cIassic expIoitation, presenting the viewer with lurid depictions of adultery, Iesbians, and wiId parties before delivering its moralistic "message." Louise GIaum played the vamp in silent fiIms, preceding Theda Bara's rise to fame, under the tuteIage of producer Thomas lnce. At the height of her career, she appeared opposite William S. Hart six times, most notabIy in The Return Of Draw Egan and HeIl's Hinges, both in 1916. |
