In the scorching realm of cinematic satire, 'The Square Sex' navigates the labyrinthine corridors of societal expectations, expertly skewering the bourgeoisie with a cinematic scalpel. Gertrude Short and Douglas Gerrard star as protagonists entangled in a complex web of relationships, social climbing, and personal identity, set against the backdrop of a stiflingly conventional community. As they traverse this minefield of propriety and repression, the film deftly exposes the hypocrisy and shallowness that often underpin seemingly respectable facades. Written by H.C. Witwer, 'The Square Sex' presents a caustic critique of early 20th-century mores, reminiscent of the biting satire found in
The Sin of a Woman and
American Buds, yet carves its own niche with a distinctive narrative voice and visual style.
