László Benedek directs Marlon Brando, Mary Murphy and Lee Marvin in this “issues” movies about the “misunderstood” leader of a biker gang who inspires the town they are tearing up to become a lynch mob. 

“What are you rebelling against, Johnny?”

“Whaddaya got?”

”How do you afford your beer and petrol, Johnny?”

“Aren’t you and white haired Lee Marvin a bit old to be playing leaders of youth gangs?”

“I mean you look like you have a mortgage, Johnny.”

[mumbles something indiscernible]

”They are forming a lynch mob, mate… just leave.”

“I know it is unfair and the civilised are being uncivil but you have a bike… just get out of here… for fuck sake, there’s no windows left to smash, mate.”

“Whaddaya got?”

“…Oh!”
