Carol Bushman, one of the four Chordettes, wins his praise for her "farm-type humor...
...this trouble for nothing. Untamed is a Zulu lulu-the sort of costume adventure that may, in a generation or two, produce a race of moviegoers with their eyes popped out on stalks. The picture offers: 1) a full-dress Irish hunt in full cry after a fox; 2) a formal ball in an Irish country house; 3) the great Irish potato famine of the 18405; 4) the Great Trek of the Boers from Cape Town to the fertile valleys of the interior; 5) the war dance of 3,000 Zulus and their attack on a wagon ring...
