Editorial Review:

Product Description:
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: Nr

Amazon.com essential video:
This 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 Lásló Benedek (Namu, the Killer Whale) and produced by the socially conscious Stanley Kramer. --Tom Keogh

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Best
"The Wild One" and not "Easy Rider" is the classic of bad boy motorcycle flicks (Sonny Barger of the Hells Angels describes Easy Rider as a movie about two dope dealers, not about bikers).

This is a fun flick with the best part, IMHO, the viewer being able to retro back to the classic bikes and biker clothing of the 1950s. Brando and Lee Marvin play great little roles and as many believe it is Lee Marvin whose character is the forerunner of the 1960s outlaw motorcyclist in tenor and tone.

Well worth the money and a keeper for the DVD shelf library.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The movie of how it all started
The Movie that every motorcycle enthusiast should see. Sometimes I think the attitude hasn't changed that much... The story of how it all started. My biker movie collection is now complete. "We don't ride just any one place, that's cornball style".



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - CLASSIC BIKER FLICK
THIS IS A MUST HAVE CLASSIC BIKER MOVIE. THIS IS ONE OF IF NOT THE FIRST RECOGNIZED MOTORCYCLE GANG MOVIE.IF YOUR A BIKER FAN YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS ONE.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Tykes on Bikes
Another in a long line of wrong roles for Brando, as well as a ridiculous collection of gentrified cycle rats, but despite this basic silliness, there is the girl--Mary Murphy whose conflicted desires stole the show--and the music...fun West Coast jazz featuring Kenton graduates, Shorty Rogers and Shelly Manne (aka Manny Shell and Roger Short because of recording contract issues).

Sadly it was Marlon Brando who recovered from the train wreck rather than Mary Murphy.
