Classic anti-establishment biker movie that starts out well enough but fizzes out a little in the second act. It regains traction in the third act. Marlon Brando is fine in his starmaking role. Mary Murphy is appropriately chaste as his winsome love interest. Lee Marvin is funny as Brando's chief rival. The underlying "think of the children' moralizing gets pretty hokey fast. The biker gang themselves look ridiculous now and too silly to be taken seriously. But it still has some solid moments of fine acting by Brando.
