What is Something Wild about?
A young rape victim tries desperately to pick up the pieces of her life, only to find herself at the mercy of a would-be rescuer.
Something Wild is a 1961 American neo-noir psychological drama film directed by Jack Garfein and starring Carroll Baker, Ralph Meeker, Mildred Dunnock, Jean Stapleton, and Martin Kosleck. It follows a young New York City college student who, after being brutally raped in a Bronx park, is held captive by a mechanic who saves her from committing suicide on the Manhattan Bridge. The film is based on the 1958 novel Mary Ann by Alex Karmel, who cowrote the screenplay with Garfein.
