An enjoyable Denny film!

The Reckless Age (1924) is now available for our viewing pleasure on Kino Lorber's The Reginald Denny Collection! First of all, the quality of the print of this film is absolutely stunning! It's one of the best quality prints of a silent film that I have seen in a long time. I am not going to give a summary of the film, but I am going to talk about the lead actor Reginald Denny.

Reginald Denny is my favorite actor and he exemplified how versatile of an actor he was in this film. He played the romantic leading man very convincingly, he had great comedic timing, and he was very athletic (he had a great scene showing how athletic he was towards the end of the film). I had never seen Ruth Dwyer act before and she was very charming and beautiful. Denny and Dwyer had great chemistry. Definitely seek out The Reginald Denny Collection, which also includes two of my favorite films ever Skinner's Dress Suit (1926) and What Happened to Jones? (1926)!
