(wikipedia | filmaffinity)

[fuente] Una mujer divorciada que intenta empezar una nueva vida en Los Angeles. El film captura la vida en la calle a finales de los cincuenta: los bares, los escaparates, los salones de belleza y, sobre todo, la gente.

Docudrama rodado con un reducido grupo de actores y personajes reales que muestra una imagen distinta, directa y sin tapujos de la "otra América". Una obra maestra.

IMDb. This drama takes the form of a story told using documentary material as an intrinsic part of the narrative. In this journey through the dark side of 1950s urban life, the camera follows Judith - a newly divorced woman looking for a fresh start - through the streets of Los Angeles as she encounters the strange denizens of the city, ranging from trendsetters to religious fanatics. All the tawdry and desperate faces of this world become a mirror for Judith's personal failures and struggles to claim her new life.

Hal Erickson escribió:AMG SYNOPSIS: The Savage Eye opens by introducing the camera lens as a "character" who will follow the leading lady (Barbara Baxley) throughout her day. The woman is a recent divorcee who moves to Los Angeles in hopes of jump-starting her life. As she weaves her way through the LA, we share her observations on the various denizens of the street, from religious fanatics to faddists. Except for a smattering of professionals like Baxley, Gary Merrill and Herschel Bernardi, most of the characters in Savage Eye are the genuine article, though they're all too aware they're being photographed and thus can't be taken as completely "real." A mixed-bag attempt at cinema verite, Savage Eye was cocreated by Joseph Strick, the entrepreneur who later tried to film James Joyce's unfilmable slice-of-life novel Ulysses.

En Cinémotions se escribió:Judith McGuire atterrit à Los Angeles dans l'espoir que sa vie y trouve un second souffle. Elle se remet difficilement de son récent divorce et, dès son arrivée, une voix intérieure masculine l'assaille de questions. À travers elle, c'est la solitude de la femme qui parle, l'horreur qu'elle éprouve face au monde chimérique contenu par l'Amérique des années cinquante, l'aliénation exercée par la mégalopole sur les individus.
