If you loved The Wild One, try They Live by Night
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Crime / Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Wild One, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What They Live by Night is
Nicholas Ray took a stab at the fugitive-lovers-on-the-run genre early. After Bowie Bowers escapes prison, he connects with Keechie, and they fall in love while on the lam. The film noir effectively dramatized a sense of claustrophobia.
