Walk on the Wild Side is a 1962 American drama film directed by Edward Dmytryk, and starring Laurence Harvey, Capucine, Jane Fonda, Anne Baxter and Barbara Stanwyck.

It walks its audience through the lives and relationships between adults (mostly women) engaged in the "business" of commercial prostitution at a stylish New Orleans brothel.

Life wrote "Jane Fonda portrays a grubby, footloose prostitute...just arrived in New Orleans to live in a fancy house where much of the action takes place...to get approval by the Code Authority and Legion of Decency, the movie changes some of the most evil characters into good ones, and at the end justice triumphs, not Jane.

After Kitty steals from the New Orleans-area café where she and Dove stop for a meal, he leaves her and makes things right with the owner Teresina Vidaverri.

Jo threatens Dove with arrest for transporting the underage Kitty across state lines for immoral purposes and for statutory rape unless he leaves New Orleans without Hallie.

When Hallie can't be found at the bordello, Kitty is suspected and put under pressure; frightened, she brings Jo and her three henchmen to the café.

[citation needed] His opinion was seconded by actress Joan Perry, widow of studio head Harry Cohn, but the film's producer Charles Feldman continued to promote Capucine, his live-in girlfriend.

The film's schedule slipped, causing difficulties for co-star Anne Baxter, six months pregnant when the production wrapped.

It is incredible that anything as foolish would be made in this day and age...There is ever so slight a suggestion that the prostitute portrayed by Capucine is admired by the madam of the bordello, played by Barbara Stanwyck.
