Reckless Living is a 1931 American pre-Code drama film directed by Cyril Gardner and starring Ricardo Cortez, Mae Clarke, and Norman Foster. The film revolves around a playboy who marries a wealthy woman for her money but finds himself falling for her sister. The narrative explores themes of wealth, love, and societal expectations during the pre-Depression era. The film is notable for its melodramatic plot and portrayal of early Hollywood glamour. While not a widely remembered classic, it is an example of the kinds of morally ambiguous dramas that were prevalent before the stricter enforcement of the Hays Code.
