It might be hard to believe it today, but this tale of youth rebellion starring Marlon Brando was actually banned in the UK in 1954. Brando stars as Johnny Strabler (he also narrates), the leader of the biker gang Black Rebels, taking over a town for a day and inciting confrontations with the locals. Johnny falls for the Sheriff's daughter, Kathie (Mary Murphy), but the ensuing promise of peace is short-lived, for soon a rival gang, headed by Chino (Lee Marvin), rides into town. Tame by today's standards, but it caused moral panic in Britain on its release.
