A Walk on the Wild Side is a 1956 novel by Nelson Algren, most often quoted as the source for Algren's "three rules of life": "Never play cards with a man called Doc. Never eat at a place called Mom's. Never sleep with a woman whose troubles are worse than your own." In 1962 Algren's novel was adapted for the film Walk on the Wild Side, directed by Edward Dmytryk. The screenplay was written by John Fante, with Edmund Morris and Ben Hecht (the latter uncredited), and the film starred Laurence Harvey, Capucine, Jane Fonda, Anne Baxter, and Barbara Stanwyck.
A Walk on the Wild Side is a novel about the downtrodden and often neglected members of society- hustlers, bootleggers, prostitutes, thieves, and the disabled.
