The Wild Girl

1917 · 0h 50m · Comedy, Drama

Skip it. This sounds like a creaky silent-era melodrama with a premise that hasn't aged well—the whole 'girl raised as a boy' conceit plays more awkward than charming, and the forced marriage plot is genuinely off-putting. Unless you're a devoted silent film completist, your time is better spent elsewhere.

Plot

A dying stranger abandons a baby girl in a gypsy camp, with a note explaining that on her eighteenth birthday, she is to inherit a Virginia estate. The gypsy chief, aware of the girl's value, instructs Sabia, the tribe's matron, to dress and rear her as a boy. Years later, while the tribe is traveling in Virginia, Vosho, the chief's son, discovers the true sex of the girl, now called Firefly, and demands to marry her.
