Summary
A destitute youth's meteoric ascent into opulence catalyzes a spiraling odyssey of hedonistic excess, as 'Boys Will Be Boys' dissects the paradoxical soul of a man who conflates material wealth with emotional fulfillment. The narrative, a chiaroscuro of lavish decadence and moral entropy, observes its protagonist's futile attempts to anesthetize a lifetime of deprivation through bacchanalian indulgence, while the film's sardonic tone interrogates the corrosive consequences of unearned fortune. Director Edfrid A. Bingham and screenwriter Irvin S. Cobb construct a baroque satire of early 20th-century American capitalism, framing each champagne-soaked revelry as a macabre parable of spiritual decay.
