Fast and Loose (1930)

Fast and Loose: Directed by Fred C. Newmeyer. With Miriam Hopkins, Carole Lombard, Frank Morgan, Charles Starrett. A wealthy family is thrown into turmoil when the daughter falls for the family chauffeur and the son begins to keep company with a chorus girl.

“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!), Blightyu0026#39;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!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGreat fun!”
