This movie, with its strong portrayals of anti-heroes by Marlon Brando and Lee Marvin seems to have started the American craze for black leather jackets, Wellington boots, and sensitive guys with brooding good looks.
It was his black leather jacket and ducktail haircut that attracted me to “Ford”, my violent and sadistic first husband. At a time when all the decent, intelligent, good-looking guys in my high school were wearing boot-cut levis, cowboy boots and plaid shirts, I fell for a sawed-off, rather dim witted creep with a rebellious attitude, in pegged black jeans and a motorcycle jacket.

Heh…I was always attracted to the proverbial bad boys…didn’t marry one but that was all I dated until I met my husband. Sometimes I wonder if I’d stayed with what I was attracted to what my life would’ve been like. You know?
It probably would have been interesting, like mine.
I don’t blame ya, how can you resist such attitude.
Interesting indeed!
