Clara Bow is so effortlessly good and charming in her first ever talkie. There’s a lot of misinformation about Bow out there, but don’t ever let them tell you that her career ended because she couldn’t cross over to sound. She could and, for a couple of years, she did.
The Wild Party has the technical pitfalls this era of film history is known for, but Bow is effervescent enough to break through the stiff staging and weird pacing. She gets in some fun moments with her little gang of college girls and also feels very queer-coded. It’s cute!
