Amazon.com video review:
This is the original motorcycle movie, starring Marlon Brando
as the brooding leader of a biker gang that invades a small town. The
film always looked like one of those synthetic Hollywood ideas of
subculture life in the 1950s, which means it looks even more
artificial today. But it is an actor's piece more than anything, and
toward that end Brando's performance really is an important one in the
context of his revolutionary reinvention of film acting during that
decade. Directed by Lásló Benedek (Namu, the Killer
Whale) and produced by the socially conscious Stanley
Kramer. --Tom Keogh
