Wow, haven't watched this in forever. Have to love the very Brando that made him great. In his real life he was such a complicated man and I believe somewhat of a tortured man, I think this is part of what made him a great actor. I was one who so much saw him as the godfather and forgot the early rebellious Brando, really enjoyed this one, thank you and a happy weekend to all

The Wild One launched the outlaw biker film as a film genre. It leaves me thinking of the chorus from Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run". Two years after her turn here as Kathie Bleeker, Mary Murphy featured in the Ray Milland Western, A Man Alone, about the aftermath of a stagecoach robbery in the Arizona desert. Highly underrated film.

"Hey Johnny, what are you rebelling against?" "Whadda you got?" Fun Fact: Widely released as a double bill with The Big Heat (1953) in the U.S. Motorcycle Enthusiast Fact: The Triumph motorcycle that Marlon Brando rides in the movie was his personal bike. Location Location Fact: The producers wanted to film on location, but Columbia Pictures chief Harry Cohn nixed this idea and ordered them to shoot it on Columbia's ranch in Burbank. The Rest Of The Story Fact: San Francisco Hell's Angels chapter president Frank Sadilek bought the striped shirt that Lee Marvin wore in the movie and wore it when meeting police officials. Producer Stanley Kramer hired real biker gangs to play themselves. When Kramer asked one of them what they were rebelling against, one cyclist cracked: "Well, what ya got?" On Set Tension Fact: Marlon Brando and Lee Marvin didn't get along very well during filming. Lee Marvin openly mocked Brando's style of acting, believing it to be overrated. Lee Marvin was actually drunk in several of his scenes, and his on-screen rivalry with Marlon Brando continued off-camera as well. Many years after the movie was released, Marvin explained to writer Michael Munn how he felt rather bemused at Brando's acting style.

One of my very favorite cinematic lines: "Wudda ya got?"

I Love Brando, have since I was a kid. His top two, in my opinion, were of the same early era as this one, A Streetcar Named Desire & On The Waterfront , each & both NOT To Be MISSED‼️‼️

[@tmrezzek5728]

Nice one! I like The Wild One for its' sense of style--Brando in iconic leather and Lee Marvin looking (and acting) pretty much like a biker would back then. I also like Mary Murphy as Cathy--she's cool crossed with Brando's heat and it's a nice contrast. FUN FACT: Brondo rode his own Triumph for this, and Marvin didn't know how to ride at all (good faking there) though he quickly became an enthusiast and participated in amateur races for years afterward. A couple more grittier and ground-breaking biker films to consider are Roger Corman's 'The Wild Angels' (1966) starring Peter Fonda, and 'Hell's Angels on Wheels' (1967) featuring a pre-superstar Jack Nicholson.

I do like The Wild One, but I preferred On The Waterfront when I watched them both recently. When you mentioned you wanted to watch more older films, I thought that could be me! I find I rarely watch anything after the 1970's thse days.

[@richardscanlan3419]

Both movies are great.Brando turned out some great movies in the fifties. Julus Caesar,Sayonara and the Young Lions were doozies in this decade.

Love the idea of you broadening the channel into whatever. Getting locked in any genre can be stifling. Genre, period, is stifling. The best movies cross genres and are unclassifiable. Nothing more boring than watching only war movies, or only gangster movies, etc etc. Variety is the spice of life. Still: congratulations on 100 westerns!!!! You've seen all or most of the great ones! Have you seen "The Covered Wagon" yet? I'd say that is one of the most essential. 1923. Jaw dropping. They used actual former pioneers as extras, with their own covered wagons and everything. As authentic as you can get. PS: Not sure if someone mentioned it, but The Beatles got their name from this movie. Stu Suttcliffe (their first bass player) had seen it and remembered the part where Lee Marvin goes "All the beetles missed you!" (beetles was biker terminology for girlfriends). Obviously the "beet/beat" sound is what attracted them to it. Instead of the Beat Masters or the Beat Brothers, it was...The Beatles! :D

[@IrishGuyReacts]

Yeah, I was wondering if that was linked to The Beatles and then it hit me that this film was released prior to The Beatles forming. Yeah, I'm thinking of possibly Doing a different genre for each month

[@thomastimlin1724]

"We missed ya...all the Beatles missed ya." Even Ringo? Oh wow, sorry I was gone so long...

[@IrishGuyReacts]

I was thinking on my head whether The Beatles took their name after watching this film

[@davidclarke7122]

Follow this one with Easy Rider, the movie that shaped a generation of bikers

[@davidclarke7122]

Swapping genras, how about giving some love the Old British war movies, for instance The Cruel Sea Appointment in London Sink the Bismarck Colditz story The Wooden Horse

[@TTM9691]

Not a great movie at all, but great to see Marlon. Stanley Kramer was such a cheesy director. The script is a joke. The early Marlon you want to see, more than anything is the movie (and, first, play) that put him on the map: "A Streetcar Named Desire", with Vivien Leigh. As an actor, that's a must. Tennessee Williams play. Directed by Elia Kazan. Super top echelon classic. "On The Waterfront" is the other super iconic early Brando. There's also "Viva Zapata" which is great. And then he did others: "The Young Lions", "The Fugitive Kind", he even did a musical, "Guys And Dolls". But "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "On The Waterfront" are the top of the list for early Brando. ("Wild One" came right after "Streetcar" if I remember correctly, or after "Zapata")

[@IrishGuyReacts]

As always, appreciate the support. And thank you for the movie suggestions 👍

[@RealClassics277]

If you do end up switching up the genre's a bit, which one's do you think you'd want to do more of? Action, gangster, mystery, ski - fi, etc, etc.

[@IrishGuyReacts]

I'm thinking I might focus on a different genre, actor or director each month
