Review of The Wild One (1953) by Dan P — 28 Sep 2009
Ok, the dialogue is hokey, but this was considered a B-film until Brando got involved. Sure, the characterizations are stilted and Columbia touted the fact that the cast hung out with "real" bikers, but what "respectable" biker gang would hang out with a bunch of Hollywood wannabes? Well, with Brando maybe, but it ends there.
Still, the story is based on a real event and the moral of the story still resonates today: Once you take a "wait and see" attitude on crime, you have marked yourself as a coward. If you don't stare opposition down at the first sign of aggression, you stand the chance of being trampled.
