Call Her Savage

Call Her Savage is a 1932 pre-Code drama film directed by John Francis Dillon and starring Clara Bow and Gilbert Roland.

[a] A wild young woman, Nasa Springer, born and raised in Texas by well-to-do parents, rebels against her father.

Unaware that her grandfather in Texas has died and left her a $100,000 fortune, a desperate Nasa dresses up as a prostitute and goes out in the neighborhood hoping to earn some quick cash to purchase medicine for her child.

This knowledge of her lineage would supposedly allow her the possibility for happiness in the arms of a handsome young "half-breed" Indian named Moonglow, a longtime friend who has secretly loved her.

In his November 25, 1932, review for The New York Times, Mordaunt Hall observes: "Miss Bow does quite well by the rôle of this fiery-tempered impulsive Nasa, but whether the flow of incidents makes for satisfactory entertainment is a matter of opinion.
