The Age of Consent (1932)

This movie provides all the trimmings for a classic . . .

[6/10 · 25 March 2021]

. . . shot-gun wedding. Drunken upper class boy? Check. Underaged impoverished seductress? Check. Angry Pop? Check. Lawman enforcing local morals? Check. The only thing that seems to be missing is the actual firearm. It pretty much goes without saying that Dora's honor is never restored through nuptial vows with her rich admirer Mike as THE AGE OF CONSENT concludes. Such a misfire of justice is what you get when a struggling underclass family lacks a Peacemaker in their closet. So after suffering through the tragic ending of this flick, please remember to support your local chapter of BANGS (Broke Americans Need Gun Stamps).
