Sweet Sixteen (1928)
Although based on the stuffy old come-to-realize plot, between negligent parent and wayward child, modernism and humor make this picture surprisingly palatable. A childish sub-deb falls for a roue and her family goes to the dogs trying to stem the tide of puppy love. Nothing short of the cad's remark that "marriage is so conventional" convinces baby that she's acted out of turn. So home to pop, with the usual resolutions. Mild.
