	Movies - The Wild Party

Motion picture The Wild Party (1975) directed by James Ivory and starring James Coco as Jolly Grimm and Raquel Welch as Queenie. Loosely based on the 1920's film actor Fatty Arbuckle scandal, an aging silent movie comic star (Coco) attempts a comeback by staging a party that turns into a sexual free-for-all. The comic ends up killing his mistress Queeny and her latest boyfriend (Perry King). The film was loosely based on the poem by Joseph Moncure March, and filmed in Riverside, California. The poem was also made into two musicals, a Broadway show composed by Michael John LaChiusa which followed the poem very closely and an off-Broadway production composed by Andrew Lippa which took some artistic liberties with the poem but still less than this movie.
