Thrill of Youth (1932)

This promises a lot though largely fails to deliver. It remains an average though not uninteresting view of early 1930s society.

Big game hunter Chet (Matty Kemp) returns, from butchering innocent animals, to his neglected girlfriend Marcia (Caryl Lincoln). However, Chet isn't very faithful, and soon he is chasing the local vamp Jill (June Clyde). Unfortunately Chet's brother Jack (Allen Vincent) is also very keen on her. Things get very complicated when Jack and Jill spends the night together (innocently) at a log cabin leading to conflict between the brothers...

Pre-code but fairly tame nowadays, and probably not that racy back in 1932 for most. The plot doesn't make a great deal of sense, with various threads left up in the air.
