Description
A vintage movie poster of ''Riptide'', a 1934 American romantic comedy film directed by Edmund Goulding. The film is known for its witty dialogue, charming characters, and the chemistry between its stars, Norma Shearer and Robert Montgomery.
The story of "Riptide" revolves around a love triangle. Norma Shearer plays Mary, a married woman who is feeling neglected and unfulfilled in her marriage. She becomes infatuated with a charming and dashing artist, Tom, portrayed by Robert Montgomery. Tom, in turn, is in love with Mary but is aware of her marriage. The film explores the complexities of their romantic entanglements and the moral dilemmas they face.
One of the film's notable features is its clever and humorous dialogue, which adds to the romantic tension and comedic elements. The interactions between Shearer and Montgomery are characterized by their playful banter and chemistry on screen.
"Riptide" is a pre-Code film, meaning it was made before the implementation of the Production Code that imposed stricter moral guidelines on Hollywood films. As a result, the movie is relatively frank in its treatment of marital issues and infidelity, which was somewhat unusual for the time.
The performances of Norma Shearer and Robert Montgomery are central to the film's appeal, with both actors bringing charm and depth to their characters. The movie's exploration of the complexities of love and desire within the confines of societal expectations adds depth to its narrative.
While "Riptide" may not be as well-remembered as some other classic films of the era, it remains an enjoyable romantic comedy that showcases the talents of its lead actors and captures the spirit of its time.
