The film particularly horrified parents, who feared that it might set a bad example for their teenage children and lead to an imitation of crime. Kids, on the other hand, were fascinated by it and soon began emulating Brando's distinctive style. </i><br /><br /><i>The Wild One</i> also became a sensation with outlaw bikers, in particular the Hell's Angel's; Frank Sadilek, president of the San Francisco chapter, personally rode down to Los Angeles and visited Columbia Pictures to buy the shirt that Lee Marvin wore in the film, which he wore until it fell to pieces.Lionel Braithwaitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05251435131708623589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370347388392139961.post-22270032468484891832015-07-04T23:41:58.012+01:002015-07-04T23:41:58.012+01:00Great post!

Come on!<br />Your post reminded me of an exploitation movie, almost a cautionary tale, called The Delinquents (1957), that, despite the moralistic tone, is very interesting.<br />Don't forget to read my contribution to the blogathon! :) <br />Cheers!<br />Le<br />http://www.criticaretro.blogspot.com.br/2015/06/1928-ao-redor-do-mundo-em-80-filmes.html<br />LĂȘhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02419693749682458647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370347388392139961.post-91974657294267122892015-06-28T11:39:55.320+01:002015-06-28T11:39:55.320+01:00Thank you so much.
