Summer in Kentucky
It would take at least twice as long today for a feature film to deal with the touchy subject matter this preCode gem from Tiffany (updated from Mary J. Holmes' sadly still pertinent 1856 novel) breezes through in just an hour.
The film throughout looks fresh after nearly ninety years thanks to the outfits and the location work, and in the title role Charlotte Henry (best remembered for playing Alice in Wonderland for Paramount the following year) heads a strong cast in which James Kirkwood and Clarence Muse are permitted nuanced characterisations.
