Chase the Flapper
1 January 2020
Leaden direction from Fred Newmeyer meets its match in a surprisingly saucy Miriam Hopkins making a very Pre-Code feature film debut in frizzy blonde hair and a bathing suit, aided by saucy dialogue by Preston Sturges. Also featured are a bare-armed Ilka Chase as a lithe young flapper in a backless dress (goodness me, this WAS a long time ago!), Blighty's David Hutcheson (also making his film debut while in the US appearing on Broadway), who was never young; and Amazonian matriarch Winifred Harris, who towers over most of the rest of the cast - men included!

Great fun!
