Something Wild (1961)
starring Carroll Baker, Ralph Meeker, Mildred Dunnock, Jean Stapleton, Martin Kosleck, Clifton James, Doris Roberts
IMDb synopsis:
Mary Ann Robinson, a young woman living in The Bronx, New York, with her neurotic, overbearing mother and kindly but ineffectual stepfather, is raped while walking home one night!. Keeping the attack to herself, Mary Ann runs away, seeking to lose herself in Manhattan by renting a seedy flat and taking a job in a dime store!. Overwhelmed by people's hostility and her own despair, Mary Ann tries to jump off the Manhattan Bridge, only to be stopped by Mike, a garage mechanic who takes her back to his modest basement apartment nearby!. At first appreciative of Mike's kindness, Mary Ann becomes terrified when he refuses to let her leave!. Is Mike really Mary Ann's rescuer - or is he another rapist!?

You can read the full synopsis, quite well-written, at IMDb:

I think my family must have gone to the drive-in to see this, but I don't know what the second-billed movie was!. I vaguely recall a lot of turmoil and shouting but, being about 10 years old, I doubt that I got much from the film!. I do clearly recall her injuring his eye and him having to wear a patch!. When I saw it again in the Seventies, I understood it and realized how powerful a story it is!. I'd like to see it again and wonder why it isn't aired at least on TCM!. It's one of Carroll Baker's better roles, if I recall correctly!.

You gave an excellent description of this film!
