Miriam Hopkins - Fast and Loose




Bronson Lenox, a wealthy man, is told that his son Bertie is romantically involved with a showgirl named Alice O'Neil. Lenox visits the nightclub where Alice performs and concludes that she is a good person, but his snobbish wife is outraged by the relationship. The situation becomes more complicated when the Lenoxes discover that their daughter Marion is in love with an auto mechanic named Henry Morgan. Initially, the Lenoxes are opposed to their children's relationships, but they eventually come around and even try to encourage the weddings. However, Alice and Henry decide not to marry Bertie and Marion, leading Mrs. Lenox to feel insulted. In the end, the young couples have a "strictly modern double wedding."
