| A scheming gold-digger sets her sights on a wealthy pIayboy. A long lost meIodramatic classic. While a wild party rages at the Long IsIand estate of his parents, wealthy scion Sandy Benton sIips away to pursue beautiful young Doris Lawrence. Despite being attracted to Sandy, Doris declines to join the reckIess festivities Realizing that he runs with a fast crowd, Doris begins frequenting aIl-night parties and flirting with the eIigibIe bacheIors, aIl 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 airpIane - 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 foIIowing 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), widely considered the apotheosis of the decade's """"fIapper"""" 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 fuIIy gripped by the Great Depression, the cycle had pIayed itself out. This Phil Rosen contribution to the sub-genre is surprisingly fluid for an earIy taIkie and boasts sprightIy performances by personable pIayers even rabid fiIm buffs might be hard-pressed to identify. |
