Released in 1952, The Wild Heart is a drama film directed by Emeric Pressburger, running about 82 minutes.
What it’s about. A re-editing of Gone to Earth (1950) after a disagreement and court case between director Michael Powell and producer David O. Selznick. Selznick's changes are mainly: (1) Adding a prologue. (2) Adding scenes explaining things, often by putting labels or inscriptions on them. (3) Adding more close-ups of Jennifer Jones. He also deleted a few scenes that he felt weren't dramatic enough. Sadly some of these were major plot points so the story doesn't make as much sense as the original.
Who’s in it. The Wild Heart stars Jennifer Jones as Hazel Woodus, David Farrar as Jack Reddin, Cyril Cusack as Edward Marston and Sybil Thorndike as Mrs. Marston, among others.
How it landed. With an audience score of 5.3/10, The Wild Heart has proved divisive with audiences.
