Marlon Brando and Mary Murphy were somewhat of a Romeo and Juliet caricature . Mr. Brando a biker basically rambling from one town to another to cause 'minor' havoc with his gang- B.R.M.C. and Ms. Murphy the daughter of a prominent law Enforcement official. Excellently acted by all and it would be unfair to judge the cinematography , being it was a basic B/W flick from 5 plus decades ago. Johnny just wanted some practical jokish but harmless fun with his gang, unfortunately the town had other ideas. Looking to string him up for any minor infraction or literally string him up. This was a town of false vigilantism. Anarchy reigns and true love reigns parallel. What will prevail? I wont tell. Its a nice movie that does not necessarily transcend time. Being this bikers gang was about the corniest gang in the history of bikers gangs. A tough dude Johnny , as the head honcho but listening to Jazz does not quite cut it. An entertaining film to be sure, but nothing earth shattering. Vintage Brando though, I will say that. From that standpoint alone, definitely worth a watch.
