Brando's Best work was done in the Fifties (until "The Godfather" in 1971). In this film, he portrays the leader of a Motorcycle Gang who clashes with a member of his former one (played by Lee Marvin). The Small town they happen to meet in is eventually terrorized by both groups, with the Local Sheriff's Daughter( played by Mary Murphy) falling for Brando in the midst of it all. Brando's Image in this film set the trend of The Black Leather Motorcycle Jacket as a symbol of rebellion, up until it was considered "Safe" decades later because of being worn by musicians like Springsteen and "The Ramones". The "Hep-Cat" dialogue in the script was taken from interviews with various Motorcycle Groups around at the time. Viewers will note Future '60's TV Series Characters in the film such as "Mr. Kimball" from "Green Acres", and Dick Van Dyke's Future Neighbor "Jerry". Starting Fourteen Years later, this formula was used in a string of Motorcycle Film's from American International. A Great film to own, now released on Blu-Ray.Read full review

Since this is the movie that really started the whole bad boy image for motorcyclists, I just had to see it. It is worth watching just for the vintage motorcycles. While Marlon Brando is the star, Lee Marvin has the best character and the best performance in the movie. Keep the expectations low for acting and plot development and you will not be disappointed.
