The first movie with Marlon Brando that I saw was... ... guess which ... ... ... No, it was not The Wild One. It was Doctor Moreau's Island! Haha, what a start. Well, I actually like that film but it probably isn't Brando's magnum opus. Later I saw Apocalypse Now but I still didn't know where does this legend come from that Marlon Brando is some teenage tough guy icon. I only knew him as a bald old man.
So I finally watched The Wild One which I suppose is of the iconic works of Brando's early career. I gotta admit he's quite good in it. Quite good in being bad, or something like that. He's the leader of a motorcycle gang who always appears cool and arrogant, but maybe also has a softer side somewhere inside but he can't show it. This theme is shown in a very subtle way but it made an impresion on me, I felt the character's inner struggle.
Then there's of course a lot of hassle when the bikers test their might against other bikers, police, and everyone who gets in their way. I think there's a good balance between drama and more action-packed scenes.
Enjoyable and well made film. I'm definitely going to see it again eventually.
