"Running Wild" .... 1955 movie

[@bftdr]

it is always fun to watch these old movies to see if you can spot someone who became famous later.

[@MonsterHobbiesModelCarGarage]

Like Trelane (William Campbell) from Star Trek?

[@Racerkey999]

The star is the famous Bob Hirohata's 1951 Mercury, the bad guy's car. customized by George Barris. The convert is also a Barris-built, Fred Rowe's, '51.

[@graemeburr6463]

You answered it for me. I thought it was the Hirohata Merc.

[@vladtheimpala5532]

That Merc was what caught my eye and made me click. Then when I saw the Hirohata Merc a few minutes in I was hooked. When I was a kid our family car was a 49. That’s the first car I remember riding in. I’ve always wanted one.

Lots of hot rod oriented movies lately.....great to see them after all these years and LOVE seeing the same cars I saw on the streets as a kid in the '50s. The kids knew how to dance back then too, not the crappy jumping around they do today!!

John Saxon is so young , he did have moviestar good looks . I have never seen him this young before .

[@stevegordon8474]

This film has some good things to recommend it. Firstly, there is Mamie Van Doren's dance scene to Bill Haley's RAZZLE DAZZLE. One of her great talents is dancing and the way she moves in all her pictures. Secondly, there is Jan Merlin, one of the greatest smart alecks ever. What a mouth to go with his face of pure insolence! Merlin is a very under-rated character actor who deserves more recognition for the conflict and drama he causes so capably. And last but not least is Lita's hairstyle. What a great look Kathleen Case cultivated for this film. She looks angelically innocent with that cut framing her face, a great 50s style you don't see anymore.

This is JOHN Saxon's 1st credited film role at age 19. He made his film debut at 18 in "IT should Happenen to You", but the role was uncredited and he had no lines. Oddly enough it was also Jack Lemmon's film debut, but he was the star, opposite Judy Holiday. Between 1949 and his film debut in 1954 he worked in television.

1955 and some sweet custom cars! Wonder who made them? Maybe Von Dutch or George Barris possibly. When he dropped off the girl outside the house, you can see him hit the inside door release. And that chopped coupe was sick! Good stuff and a happy ending ha. Where’s the sequel where she’s an unhappy cops wife ha.

[@JDSFLA]

William Campbell (the undercover cop) reminds me of Tony Curtis - even their accents are alike. I guessed Campbell was born in New Jersey. So, I looked it up and he was - In Trenten. And Tony Curtis was born in Manhattan - about 20 miles apart as the crow flies.

When I got , it looked brand new , it was 10 yrs. old and I paid $600. for it . Bargain !!!

[@sunbeam8866]

Wish I kept Dad's '67 Chevelle coupe. He paid $540 in '72, and let me drive it after I got my license. Bench-seat, 283, powerglide, dual exhaust. No hot-rod, but still looked cool. Today, most I see for sale are rusty hulks, gutted parts-cars, or grossly overpriced SS 'conversions'. There may be more SS models now than what left the factory! Back then, even though gas was only about 32 cents per gallon, the reality was Dad's Chevelle V8 was only running on 7, got about 10 mpg, and was gobbling up all my lawn mowing money. So Dad sold the Chevy, for $750, and we found a beat-up old $200 foreign sedan, that my brother said looked "like an old lady's shoe". But it got 30 mpg! 🙂

[@deboramccallum3987]

We had a red Impala back when gas was 25 cents/gallon..until someone put sugar in the tank.

Never mind, I just checked the actors in this movie and John De Lancie is not one of them. Edit: A little more research and I find that I am wrong about being wrong. Apparently I was right the first time, _William Campbell_ the male lead actor in this movie is Trelane from the Star Trek episode, _The Squire of Gothos?_

[@dontaylor7315]

No spoiler, just a warning: Bill Haley is nowhere on the cast list or credits yet the thumbnail makes it look like he's the star. I assume the Comets will be onscreen for as many minutes as it takes to play a song or two but the thumbnail is clickbait. I'll probably watch anyway because I like film noir (though nobody's ever called this one outstanding) and I kinda like Mamie Van Doren (though I have no delusions about her as an actress - she's basically eye candy). So I'm giving it a chance but if you're more particular than I am, I hope you read comments before watching.
