The Wild One might be tame these days, but in 1954, it was definitely bad ass. Marlon Brando in his leather jacket and crooked hat as Johnny and Lee Marvin as the rival gang leader Chino, terrorizing a small town is still way cool.Marlon's gang doesn't have any plans, they just ride around having kicks and he loves them and leaves them. He meets Kathie at the town's cafe, who happens to be the daughter of the town Sheriff. He kind of falls for her and she's looking for some more excitement than her small town life brings. Johnny is something completely different.
You have to watch this movie knowing it's in B&W and and old fashioned and you will enjoy it. Best line: "Hey Uncle Frank."
