Product Information

The Wild One is a 1953 American crime film directed by László Benedek and produced by Stanley Kramer. The picture is most noted for the character of Johnny Strabler, portrayed by Marlon Brando, whose persona became a cultural icon of the 1950s. The Wild One is considered to be the original outlaw biker film, and the first to examine American outlaw motorcycle gang violence. [2] [3] [4] The supporting cast features Lee Marvin as Chino, truculent leader of the motorcycle gang "The Beetles". Filming mainly took place at the Colombia Pictures Ranch, "Western Street 'A '", which was re-dressed to depict a 1950s Midwest American town with the dirt paths covered in asphalt. My wooden name signs look perfect paired with a set of wooden stars, hearts, or clouds, and to save you time, I have created add-on options. You can opt to add on a set of 10 wooden stars in various sizes, a set of 10 wooden hearts in various sizes, or a set of 10 wooden cloud shapes, again in various sizes. Size – Each script wall art is approx 80-100cm in length when spread out, dependent on saying choosen. Christopher Gair (2007). The American Counterculture. Edinburgh University Press. p.105.

There were objections to the film in the United States of America, too but of a more commercial nature. According to the book Triumph Motorcycles in America, Triumph's then-US importers, Johnson Motors, objected to the prominent use of Triumph motorcycles in the film. The full text of the letter sent by Triumph's American importers to the President of the Motion Picture Association of America Inc was published in the April 1953 issue of Motorcyclist magazine in the article "A Report on Stanley Kramer's motion picture of The Wild One". Therein, Triumph's US importers stated that the film: To say that the story is unfair is putting it mildly. and you cannot deny that the general impression will be left with those who see the film that a motorcyclist is a drunken, irresponsible individual "just not nice to know". ... I urge you give the foregoing comments your unbiased consideration, with a view of stopping the production of this film. Each piece is unique as wood is a natural product and no two pieces are ever the same so your name plaque will likely look slightly different to the one photographed here. Maybe I was at the studio on the wrong day, but from my observations I don't see where motorcycling will benefit from Kramer's "celluloid saga of cycling". ... I don't see where the motorcycle industry, including manufacturers, distributors, dealers and riders will benefit from The Wild One.

Matthews states that Trevelyan maintained his predecessor's stance albeit in more conciliatory terms when he assumed the chairmanship of BBFC telling Colombia in a letter to them dated 3 April 1959: The film's screenplay was based on Frank Rooney's short story "Cyclists' Raid", published in the January 1951 Harper's Magazine and anthologized in The Best American Short Stories 1952. Rooney's story was inspired by sensationalistic media coverage of an American Motorcyclist Association motorcycle rally that got out of hand on the Fourth of July weekend in 1947 in Hollister, California. The overcrowding, drinking and street stunting were given national attention in the July 21, 1947, issue of Life, with a staged photograph of a wild drunken man on a motorcycle. [5] The events, conflated with the newspaper and magazine reports, Rooney's short story, and the film The Wild One are part of the legend of the Hollister riot. In the United Kingdom, the film was refused a certificate for public exhibition by the British Board of Film Censors (BBFC) effectively banning the film for 14 years. There were some screenings in film societies where local councils overturned the BBFC's decision. [15] [16] In his book, Censored (Chatto & Windus 1994), Tom Dewe Matthews reports that then-chairman of the BBFC, Arthur Watkins rejected one of the many requests by Colombia Pictures for certification of the film stating:

However, in the following decade, Gil Stratton Jr, who played Mouse in the film, advertised Triumph motorcycles in his later career as a famous TV sports announcer. As of 2014 [update], the manufacturers publicly were identifying Brando as a celebrity who had helped to "cement the Triumph legend". [19] Brando later revealed in his autobiography, Songs My Mother Taught Me (1994 Random House), that "(m)ore than most parts I've played in the movies or onstage, I related to Johnny, and because of this, I believe I played him as more sensitive and sympathetic than the script envisioned. There's a line where he snarls, 'Nobody tells me what to do'. That's exactly how I've felt all my life." There has been a lot of publicity about adolescent gangs in London and elsewhere recently and, while in some ways the present gangs are more vicious than those depicted in the film, the behaviour of Brando and the two gangs to authority and adults generally is of the kind that provides a dangerous example to those wretched young people who take every opportunity of throwing their weight about ... Once again we have made this decision (to refuse certification) with reluctance because we think it is a splendid picture. I do hope that the time will come, and come soon, when we do not have to worry about this kind of thing, but I am afraid that we do have to worry about it now. Groening, Matt (1997).
