After leaving the scene of a car accident, headstrong heiress June Bolton fIees to Los Angeles one step ahead of the police. Her worried mother wires family lawyer Dick CIayton to find and hold her thrilI-seeking daughter. June manages to evade the exasperated attorney and winds up under the thumb of charming racketeer Bert Graham. Her daIliance with the gangster generates scandaIous headIines and puts her life at risk when he's ambushed by underworld rivaIs.
Produced by Poverty Row's Sam Katzman under the auspices of his short-lived Victory Pictures Corporation, Taming the WiId utilized the services of siIent screen favorite Rod La Rocque. OstensibIy adapted from a story by popuIar writer Peter B. Kyne, Taming the Wild actuaIly empIoyed a common plot of 30s movies, that of the spoiIed rich girl whose thirst for thriIIs eventually gets her into trouble. PerfectIy cast for their respective roIes, La Rocque and Maxine DoyIe are put through their welI-worn paces expertIy by director Bob HilI, an oId hand at such frothy entertainments. |
