Something Wild (1961) review

College student Mary Ann (Carroll Baker) gets dragged aside and raped on her way home from class (that's the City for ya!), walks back and bathes, cuts up her clothing, drops out of school, finds her own apartment and a job at Woolworth's to pay the rent, attempts suicide (by nearly jumping off the Manhattan Bridge) and is "rescued" by auto mechanic Mike (Ralph Meeker) ... who locks her up in his dingy flat.  If it's intended to be this "psychological analysis" of its lead character, she's not exactly fond of speaking and has no internal monologue ... and everyone around her is seriously cruel (including her co-workers, landlord, next door neighbor, etc.).  The whole "victimhood" theme is truly exhausting ... and then at the last minute we're supposed to believe she's "cured" of her trauma by marrying the man she half-blinded.  I couldn't help but keep wondering why (a.) she didn't file a police report on either men or (b.) why she never got the counseling she so desperately needed (were there no psychiatrists in New York at the time?).  The second word in the title should have been "weird."
