The Savage

1917 · 50 min

A somber silent-era melodrama of untamed passion and sacrifice, unfolding slowly against a rugged wilderness backdrop.

Overview
When Marie Louise, the daughter of the town factor, returns home from school, Julio Sandoval, a reckless young half-breed ruled by his animal instincts, develops a passion for the girl, even though she is engaged to Captain McKeever of the mounted police. Meeting Marie when she is alone in the woods one day, the half-breed carries her to his cabin on the mountain top where he collapses from an attack of mountain fever brought on by overexertion.
