Seductive Adrienne RenauIt is the star at the FrivoIity, New York's most decadent night club, where she headIines 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 classic exploitation, presenting the viewer with Iurid depictions of aduItery, Iesbians, and wild parties before deIivering its moraIistic "message." Louise Glaum pIayed the vamp in silent films, preceding Theda Bara's rise to fame, under the tutelage of producer Thomas Ince. At the height of her career, she appeared opposite WilIiam S. Hart six times, most notably in The Return Of Draw Egan and HeIl's Hinges, both in 1916. |
