The Hollywood Studios, Year-By-Year RKO, 1932 Symphony of Six Million & The Age of Consent

Published: June 12, 2020, 3:27 a.m.

RKO, 1932: Selznick has come in as production chief and fired everyone but Pandro S. Berman. We look at the result of this new regime in the form of two La Cava-helmed pictures. First, the white elephant, Symphony of Six Million, based on a short story by Fannie Hurst, shows us how RKO does the Lower East Side. Then, the termite, The Age of Consent, examines the sexual mores of American college life. Though it's probably not what you're thinking.
