Something Wild was the second of only two controversial films directed by Actors Studio alumnus Jack Garfein, who married its Method-trained star Carroll Baker. Far ahead of its time thematically, the movie has Baker as a rape victim who is saved from suicide, but then held captive by a creepy young mechanic (Ralph Meeker, another Studio member). Brilliantly shot in New York locations, and with a score by Aaron Copland, the film fully justifies its newborn status as a cult rediscovery. - Clyde Jeavons
