Flaming Youth (film)
''Flaming Youth'' is a 1923 American silent drama film directed by John Francis Dillon and starring Colleen Moore and Milton Sills, based on the novel of the same name by Samuel Hopkins Adams. The film was produced and distributed by Associated First National. In his retrospective essay "Echoes of the Jazz Age", writer F. Scott Fitzgerald cited ''Flaming Youth'' as the only film that captured the sexual revolution of the Jazz Age. The film is now considered partially lost.

Flaming Youth (novel)
''Flaming Youth'' is a 1923 book, controversial in its time, by Samuel Hopkins Adams. In his retrospective essay "Echoes of the Jazz Age," writer F. Scott Fitzgerald argued that Adams' novel persuaded certain moralistic Americans that their young girls could be "seduced without being ruined" and thus altered the sexual mores of the nation. The novel was adapted into the silent movie '' Flaming Youth'' in 1923. A reviewer for the ''Cincinnati Inquirer'' noted that the film was "far from being a faithful translation of the book on which it was based" since film censorship at the time would have required the elision of some scenes which appear in the novel. In the 1920s, Adams wrote two novels, ''Flaming Youth'' and ''Unforbidden Fruit'', dealing with the sexual urges of young women in the Jazz Age. These novels had a sexual frankness that was surprising for their time, and Adams published them under the pseudonym "Warner Fabian" so that his other works would not be tainted by any sc ...
