Call Her Savage is a 1932 pre-Code drama film directed by John Francis Dillon and starring Clara Bow. The film was Bow’s second-to-last film role. It is also one of the first portrayals of homosexuals on screen, including a scene in a gay bar.
The Film Daily praised Bow’s performance, writing “Looking like a million dollars, acting better than she ever did, and playing a role that requires her to pretty near run the gamut of feminine moods and modes, Clara Bow makes a whirlwind comeback.”
The film attracted an audience of over 900,000 when it was showcased in 42 first-run cities. It was restored in 2012 by the Museum of Modern Art and premiered at the third annual Turner Classic Movies Film Festival in Hollywood.
