THE WILD ONE

Samuel Fuller (1980) 158 mins M

Rival motorcycle gangs headed by Marlon Brando & Marvin invade a small American town. At times brutal & sadistic, this seminal work of '50s American cinema was a major influence on youth culture, the emerging rock 'n' roll scene & its iconography. Brando's insolent, brooding but misunderstood rebel with & without a cause is richly contrasted with Marvin's menacing & hot-headed Chino, a defining performance of the actor's early career. With Robert Keith & Jay C. Flippen.

Follwed at 8.30pm by the The Wild One (7.00pm) Lee Marvin Special Season (March 7 - 21).
