Notes
The Wild One is a seminal film for several counter culture movements in the years after WWII, including The Satyrs Motorcycle Club, a gay motorcycle club founded in Los Angeles in 1954, and still in existence· · I tag it as having a “gay theme or interest” because of its influence on the formation of gay leather/MC clubs.
