After almost two-decades of lavish, epic, over-sexed period pieces, Cecil B. DeMille turned his camera on contemporary youth for the 1933 melodrama This Day and Age. When a beloved Jewish tailor is murdered by local racketeer Louis Garrett, the lithe and fashionably-attired student bodies of North High find their juvenile idyll disrupted – and their cries for justice unanswered by the grown-ups in the room. Galvanized by the law’s indifference, the kids hatch a plan to entrap Garrett and seek justice on their own terms. DeMille’s love of teeming crowds is on full display in the film’s gripping climax, where hoards of torch-bearing boys (Black standing equally with white) loom over the sniveling hoodlum who dared to cross them.
