The Reckless Age

The Reckless Age is a 1924 American silent comedy-drama film directed by Harry A. Pollard and starring Reginald Denny.

[1] As described in a film magazine,[2] Dick Minot (Denny), crack "trouble-shooter" of Lloyd's International Insurance Company, is assigned to guard Lord Harrowby (Austin) from disaster in connection with his coming marriage to Cynthia Meyrick (Dwyer), an heiress, as the nobleman having taken out an insurance policy against his failure to marry her.

Trouble develops when a man, claiming to be the real Lord Harrowby appears, and Minot promptly has him kidnaped and put aboard a yacht.

Then a London chorus girl appears and threatens to sue His Lordship for breach of promise, which of course would wreck the romance.

[3][4] The Reckless Age was restored and remastered in 4K and released on 1080p Blu-ray disc in 2020 by Kino Lorber as part of the boxed set The Reginald Denny Collection.
