The Wild Angels
Corman's lurid elaboration upon the themes of The Wild One has a cast that proves the numero uno had a sure look for talent. Fonda is the leader of the stall, Sinatra his biker-chick sidekick. 'Wanting to do what we want to do' is their motto, a exquisite modifying of 'What are you rebelling against? - What have you got?' from the Brando picture. This is Corman working in that deliciously crafty class, the exploitation flick dressed up as group comment - he balanced puts a stentorian warning at the crop of the movie, explaining it as an isometrics in sociological investigation. The sleazy con sham is a wow.
