Under Eighteen [DVD]

Working girl Margie Evans has decided there are two kinds of opportunities for a slum kid during the Depression. Those you make. And those you take. Determined to help her family out of it's financial bind, she is ready to do both after she shows up at the penthouse pool bash of a wealthy playboy. Why not take off your clothes and stay awhile? the rou? asks her. Marian Marsh, a screen sensation as the lovely obsession of John Barrymore's mesmerizingly sinister maestro in Svengali, reteams with that film's director Archie Mayo to portray Margie in an earnest pre-Code melodrama. Talented Warren William, who like Marsh would see his career peak during the 1930s, portrays the pool-party ladykiller.
