If anyone has seen this 50's Brando flick, give it a watch again at least to see something of an easter egg. The film is set in a dusty, insular town along the 5 in the central valley, but from certain angles you'll notice a pair of very large hills in the background -- you guessed it -- Griffith Park and the Hollywood peak before that large radio tower was put over the latter. No one but an LA resident would recognize the "backside" of those iconic hills. Since the 50's were so Western-dominated in the cinema TV, Burbank was far less developed and the set for the Wild Ones could easily be converted in to a Western town. It's surreal to think a handful of John Wayne movies and Blade Runner were predominately filmed in the same place.

...just sayin'
