Loose Ankles (1930)
6/10
Beach Blanket pre-Code
23 September 2023
In Easy Rider it was dope, here the solution to all problems is what's in the punch. This is a teen movie about a generation gap between the Prohibitionist old people versus the young fast set. If you made it through Beach Blanket Bingo or similar experiences, you can last the 69 minutes. The acting is unusually bad. Perhaps by design. Young, of course, is as good as it gets. Although hard to justify spending any time to watch this, it is worth sticking around to the end. Fazenda and Nugent put on a show that is unique. Also as an early talkie this offers music and a dance line. Fairbanks Jr.

Is seen here just a year before his breakthrough in Little Caesar.
