"The Wild Party" is a 1975 Merchant Ivory Productions film directed by James Ivory, produced by Ismail Merchant, and starring James Coco as Jolly Grimm and Raquel Welch as Queenie.

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 Queenie 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.

Dance scene choreographed by Patricia Birch (just after the work musical "Grease" with Louis St. Louis's music who also wrote that musical.
