twenties charmer
Joan Crawford and William Haines star as flaming youths circling
each other on a country club golf course. I wouldn't recommend
this film as highly as Haines' "Show People", but if you like 20s
films, this one certainly has its moments. Haines and Crawford
have nice chemistry together. I'm not much of a golfer, so I can't
comment on that aspect of the film, but fashion buffs will certainly
find things of interest here. Especially charming is the scene
where a newly married couple confronts the sudden reality of a
wedding night! All their previous bravado melts away (and the
viewer is reminded of how much some things have changed, for
better or worse).
