Movie Reviews of The Wild One
Movie Review: Best Of The Bikers
Summary: 4 Stars
The was first famous "biker" movie and so it's dated, for sure, but still interesting. In fact, it's so dated in parts that it's charming. What surprised me was that some of the expressions of the day and the hand-slapping is still around today! I'll bet a lot of people did not know they didn't do these "hip" things so long ago.
Marlon Brando, as the lead character "Johnny Strabler," was fun to watch and Mary Murphy - an unknown actress to me - was very attractive as "Kathie Bleeker."
What looked strange was the bikers, in general. They looked so clean-cut it was almost laughable, hardly like the bikers since then. The gang member who did look the part was Lee Marvin as "Chino," who was a hoot the first time I saw this film but an overblown clown on subsequent viewings.
The movie had some nice film-noir photography, too, with some nice nighttime shots. 'The Wild One" is corny, but far better than many of the other '50s teen-rebellion stories.
Summary of The Wild One
Brando burns up the screen in this 50s classic as a moody supercool biker leader whose gang terrorizes a small town. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 10/04/2005 Starring: Marlon Brando Run time: 79 minutes Rating: NrThis is the original motorcycle movie, starring Marlon Brando as the brooding leader of a biker gang that invades a small town. The film always looked like one of those synthetic Hollywood ideas of subculture life in the 1950s, which means it looks even more artificial today. But it is an actor's piece more than anything, and toward that end Brando's performance really is an important one in the context of his revolutionary reinvention of film acting during that decade. Directed by L?sl? Benedek (Namu, the Killer Whale) and produced by the socially conscious Stanley Kramer. --Tom Keogh
