Description
A vintage movie poster reproduction of ''Call Her Savage'' - a 1932 American pre-Code drama film directed by John Francis Dillon and starring Clara Bow in the lead role. The film is known for its provocative and controversial subject matter, typical of pre-Code Hollywood, and its exploration of taboo themes for its time.
The story revolves around Nasa "Nasa" Springer (played by Clara Bow), a spirited and rebellious young woman who grows up in the American West. Nasa is raised in a rough and unconventional environment, which shapes her into a wild and uninhibited character. As she matures, she becomes entangled in a series of tumultuous relationships and experiences, including romantic entanglements and conflicts with her family.
"Call Her Savage" explores themes of sexuality, race, and societal norms, often pushing the boundaries of what was considered acceptable in early Hollywood cinema. The film's portrayal of Nasa as a free-spirited and unapologetic woman who defies societal expectations was daring for its time.
Clara Bow, one of the biggest stars of the silent era, delivers a memorable performance in her first sound film, showcasing her natural charisma and vivacity. The film also features a supporting cast that includes Gilbert Roland, Thelma Todd, and Estelle Taylor.
"Call Her Savage" was released during the pre-Code era in Hollywood when filmmakers had more freedom to tackle controversial and mature themes before the enforcement of the Production Code. As a result, the film contains elements that are considered daring and provocative, including sexual innuendo and racial stereotypes.
While "Call Her Savage" is not as well-remembered today as some other classic films of the era, it remains a noteworthy example of early sound cinema that challenged societal norms and pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable on the silver screen. It is a reflection of the cultural and cinematic landscape of its time, when Hollywood was experimenting with newfound storytelling possibilities in the transition from silent films to sound cinema.
