Daily Dialogue — April 29, 2020

“You wanna see something? You wanna see Johnny go? Oh, he can really go. He can really screw it on.”

— The Wild One (1953), screenplay by John Paxton, story by Frank Rooney

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Motorcycle.

Trivia: Harry Cohn hated the completed film, but so did Marlon Brando for different reasons. The latter said, “We started out to do something worthwhile, to explain the psychology of the hipster. But somewhere along the way we went off the track. The result was that instead of finding why young people tend to bunch into groups that seek expression, all that we did was show the violence.”

Dialogue On Dialogue: Loads of hipster language and slang in this movie.
