Storyline: Lord Harrowby has set the wedding date for his marriage to Cynthia Meyrick of the wealthy Meyrick family To ensure that his marriage will take place, Harrowby buys a 100,000 insurance policy if the wedding is called off through no fault of his own, the policy will pay off Thus, Harrowby will either get rich by marriage or get rich by no marriage However, the insurance company is loathe to lose money and, to make sure that the wedding takes place, they send an agent, Dick Minot, to fend off any obstacles to the impending nuptials Of course, while dealing with missing jewels, a fake Lord, and blackmail attempts, Minot falls for the bride to be A short amusing silent comedy, The Reckless Age stars handsome English actor Reginald Denny as Minot Primarily known for his supporting work in such classics as Rebecca, Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House, and Anna Karenina, Denny is the films leading man He displays startling blue eyed star quality and a flair for comedy and slapstick he also displays athleticism, especially when throwing a few punches at his antagonists Lovely Ruth Dwyer plays Cynthia, the object of Minots affections and Harrowbys designs Dwyer is quite natural and works well with Denny As the effete Lord Harrowby, William Astin also performs well, and the rest of the cast, today largely unknown, are quite good Although an early silent, most of the cast avoid the flamboyant grand style, but they do let loose during an extended slapstick free for all in a newsroom The cinematography is crisp, and the projection speed is correct no jumpy images or sped up motion that stereotypes silent films for many Reginald Dennys career peak was during the silent era, but he cannot be called forgotten, because he appeared in quality films into the 1940s and subsequently worked in television However, he is largely forgotten as a leading man, and the The Reckless Age offers viewers an entertaining opportunity to rediscover what made the Englishman a silent star in Hollywood
