The 1947 Hollister Rally
The Wild One Put Hollister in Pop Culture
The Wild One is a 1953 American outlaw biker film directed by László Benedek and produced by Stanley Kramer. It is famed for Marlon Brando’s iconic portrayal of the gang leader Johnny Strabler.
The Wild One was based on a short story, The Cyclists’ Raid by Frank Rooney, in the January 1951 issue of Harper’s Magazine. The story was later published in book form as part of The Best American Short Stories 1952.
The story took a cue from an actual biker street party on the Fourth of July weekend in 1947 in Hollister, California that was elaborately trumped up in the July 21, 1947 issue of Life Magazine, and dubbed the Hollister riot, with staged photographs of wild motorcycle outlaw revelers. The Hollister event is rebooted for 2013. In the film, the setting is the fictional Wrightsville, California
