Richard Miller has determined to live life to the fullest, and this high school valedictorian, who almost shared his first kiss with girl-next-door Muriel McComber, goes on a wild spree discovering drink and the wiles of local women., Eugene O’Neill’s slice of Americana about a small-town teen who’s approaching manhood and getting advice to be careful and good from his stern father and to party and live it up from a bibulous uncle., Playwright Eugene O’Neill’s only comedy, Ah, Wilderness! was filmed by MGM in 1935. Impressionable turn-of-the-century lad Eric Linden, whose knowledge of the ways of the world has come from French novels, is anxious to taste life to the fullest. Linden’s father Lionel Barrymore sternly advises the boy to be good and be careful, while Barrymore’s shiftless, bibulous brother-in-law Wallace Beery (replacing MGM’s first choice, W.C. Fields) encourages Linden to get out, get drunk and get…you know what. After a frightening encounter with lady of the evening Helen Flint (a surprisingly frank characterization for a Production Code film), Linden runs home, nursing a monster hangover the next day. The boy eventually accepts the sedate affections of his childhood sweetheart Jean Parker, while a chastened Beery promises to mend his ways–and Barrymore decides to be more of a father and less of an autocrat to his son.

The small town later celebrates the Fourth of July with customary fireworks, picnics and the like, with Richard spending time with his girl, Muriel McComber, who promises she will allow him to kiss her one day.When Richard sends poems of love to Muriel, quoting the likes of Omar Khayyám and Swinburne, her father prevents her from ever seeing him again and forces her to write a letter denouncing him.
