This Reckless Age
This Reckless Age is a 1932 American pre-Code comedy film directed by Frank Tuttle and starring Charles "Buddy" Rogers and produced and distributed by Paramount Pictures. The film is based on a Broadway play The Goose Hangs High by Lewis Beach.[1][2] One of over 700 Paramount films controlled by Universal Pictures, which in 1948 purchased most of the 1928-1948 Paramount library.[citation needed] PlotDonald and Eunice Ingals' lives revolve around their children, Bradley and Lois. They have sacrificed and scrimped to give their kids the best, and the kids, thoughtless and young, give little in return except for a smile and thanks now and then. When Christmas vacation comes, Bradley and Lois pop in on the family. Bradley has come to tell his father he is marrying Mary Burke, which is received rather badly by both parents, while Lois, prankish and impish, spends more of her visit home partying with school friends. But when Donald finds himself being blamed for a business scandal, the children make serious efforts to save their father's reputation. Cast
Critical ResponseAs reviewer Clara M. Sawdon opined in International Photographer: "Pictures such as this are rare because they are much more difficult to produce than sensational or spectacular ones, but they are welcome innovations, especially when accomplished with such satisfactory coordination of effort as herein evidenced."[3] References
