Loose Ankles

An especially buoyant opening, original song by Jack Meskill and Pete Wendling, Loretta Young and Inez Courtney as insouciant cousins Ann and Betty, various relatives gathering for the reading of a will, Otis Harlan as "The Major" presiding, in the early talkie Loose Ankles, 1930.

Timid Gil (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.) has answered an ad from wealthy Ann (Loretta Young) for an "unscrupulous" man, as she tries to stop her too-rich family from getting another inheritance by causing a public scandal, her maid (Daphne Pollard) helping, in Loose Ankles, 1930.
