4.0 out of 5 stars With a Great Supporting Cast, August 21, 2007
Our Modern Maidens has much of the same cast as Our Dancing Daughters, which serves as sort of a prequel to this film. The stories are not the same, and neither are the characters, but the sentiments are. Billie Brown (Joan Crawford) and Gil Jordan (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.) are childhood sweethearts who are secretly engaged, but they don't want to publicize their engagement until Gil gets a better job. That leaves plenty of time for Billie to woo Glenn Abbott (Rod LaRoque), an important figure who can help Gil get his job. Gil becomes jealous of Abbott's affection, so he spends plenty of time with lovestruck Kentucky (Anita Page). The whole situation becomes a giant mess, and the wedding that should have brought them together ends up tearing Billie and Gil apart.

For the most part, the characters in this film have no worries. They are young with their entire futures ahead of them. The film opens with them driving recklessly and ends with them falling in and out of love multiple times.

This film was highly publicized thanks to Crawford and Fairbanks's real life marriage. Ironically, the two separated for similar reasons as in this film; both were too young and too reckless to stay together.

5.0 out of 5 stars Prohibition Era partying as it really looked..., December 11, 2002
By Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com (...in Middle America) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
Joan Crawford in her final silent film, before she became the Joan Crawford, elegant and mannered, that we know and love today. Her she plays a free-thinking Jazz Age hottie, a flirty flapper of a college gal whose refusal to take life seriously, or to settle down with the right man, has serious repercussions. One one hand, the ultimate slant of the movie is conventional and moralistic, on the other, keep in mind that the moral conventions of the time were very well established, and by just presenting her wild and crazy lifestyle, the filmmakers were making a strong artistic statement. A cool chance to see the swinging '20s lifestyle pretty much as it was happening... And some of Hollywood's most luminous young stars
