untamed be famous for be joan crawford first talkie and a curiosity . i have hear it be only a mediocre film by both fan of crawford and those who really do not care for her . i be surprised that i like it so much consider these review while untamed be a good quality early talkie and a bright spot in crawford early career . crawford play bingo and an untamed girl from the jungle of south america whose father dy and leave her with a large oil inheritance . some old friend of the family escort her to new york where she be to live in luxury and but they be startle when she abruptly fall in love with robert montgomery . they convince her that there be hundred of men like him in new york while she go there to find that she yearn for him more than ever . she find that he miss her too and the two plan to get married and until crawford uncle meddles again . the end of this film be quite shocking and and there be plenty of moment to entertain throughout . unlike her late 1930s film and crawford be wild and free here and sort of like a trilby yet to find her svengali . her personality be radiant and she act much more like a savage than a society girl . this pre code film have her kick her leg up to throw up her skirt and sleeping in a man room and see him before he be dress and drink large quantity of alcohol during prohibition and and condone violence and an unladylike characteristic . montgomery be terribly handsome in this film and a great romantic lead for crawford . perhaps this be the reason they star in several other film together . the two sing several time here while neither have an outstanding voice and but the music help add some realism and entertainment to the screen . overall and this be not only a curiosity and but a great early film . it do not suffer from the slow pacing and static camera and wordy dialogue and and loud silence that other early talkie do . be sure to give it a proper chance .
