Walking Back - 1928 - 6/10

Whew, the unbridled energy of flaming youth, Jazz Age.
Drinking, dancing, gambling, prizefights, horse racing, reckless exuberance.
Desperate for a date with sizzling Patsy, Smoke Thatcher “borrows” a neighbor’s car.
Telling himself, “borrowing isn’t stealing.”
Thing is, Smoke is a middle class wannabee, limited budget, no connections.
The pace is furious, dialogue laced with 20’s slang, and then the gangsters.
Cecil B. DeMille’s salacious touches spray throughout.
