The Leather Boys
THE WILD ONE had been banned in the UK eleven years earlier for fear of being a bad influence on the young, but THE LEATHER BOYS presents a similar portrait of juvenile delinquency, this time with more female participation. Sidney J. Furie (THE IPCRESS FILE) directs Rita Tushingham (A TASTE OF HONEY & THE KNACK) as Dot, biker companion to Reggie (Colin Campbell). After being forced to keep their romance a secret, they decide to wed. As young delinquents, however, they are unable to keep faithful to one another, and their relationship turns destructive. Uncharacteristically bleak for the time and unwilling to conform to the sexual mores of their era, THE LEATHER BOYS is an entertaining look at youth gone wild.

Sharply-observed slice of low life which now seems quite dated, the central figures no longer being of the 'heroic' interest given them at the time. Technically the film is tediously and fashionably flashy.

Touching kitchen sink
Excellent British kitchen sink film with a gay subtext - that becomes less and less 'sub' as the film goes on. I really felt for the main characters in... read more »

Pity about the quality
This DVD must have been copied from a VHS tape. Really poor quality, can hardly read the credits. So trying to catch any detail from the interesting backgrounds... read more »

Interesting take on bikers
This is apparently a cult film amongst bikers, but whether they see themselves in the same light as the two leading young men in the story I wouldn't know... read more »

worthy but dated and no fun
This one promises a bit of working-class counterculture, but it's so predictable and dreary. Once you've twigged that the pair are basically likable ... read more »
