The Untamed Lady is a 1926 American silent drama film directed by Frank Tuttle, and starring Gloria Swanson and Lawrence Gray. The film was also the debut of Nancy Kelly who was a child actress at the time. The film was written by James Ashmore Creelman from an original story by Fannie Hurst.[1] [2]
As described in a film magazine review,[3] St. Clair Van Tassel, a wealthy orphan who as a child had her every wish granted, develops into a beautiful but extremely bad tempered young woman who is wooed by many and loved by at least one. She breaks engagements with three men, but meets a different type of man in the fourth. When she attempts to break her engagement with him, he holds her captive in a cabin. She escapes, and, in pursuing her, the man is hurt. She goes to the hospital to see him, and there she becomes aware that her love for him has overcome her blazing temper.
With no prints of The Untamed Lady located in any film archives,[4] it is a lost film.
