'Wild Girl' is a 1932 American pre-Code historical drama film directed by Raoul Walsh and starring Charles Farrell, Joan Bennett, Ralph Bellamy, and Eugene Pallette. The film was based on a play by Paul Armstrong, Jr., which in turn was based on the novella 'Salomy Jane's Kiss' by Bret Harte. The story had been previously filmed as 'Salomy Jane' (1914) and 'Salomy Jane' (1923).[http://www.afi.com/members/catalog/DetailView.aspx?s=&Movie=7303 The AFI Catalog of Feature Films:'Wild Girl']
