series Labor of Love: 100 Years of Movie Dates
Directed by Dorothy Arzner | 1929
With Clara Bow, Fredric March, Marceline Day
Long before millennial hookup culture, parents of the Jazz Age panicked about “petting parties.” And long before the Frat Pack there was Clara Bow. In Paramount Pictures’ first talkie, the “It Girl” from Prospect Heights plays a rambunctious student at a women’s college who has the hots for a handsome new anthropology professor (March), who seems to have forgotten that they’ve crossed paths before. After the eponymous fête goes awry he rescues her and they reconnect. Keep your ears open for her Brooklyn accent!
