- Disrespect to figures of authority
- Contempt
- Brando was seen as imitable
- Thought it reflected Teddy Boys at the time
BBFC's Response:
- Called a 'spectacle of unbridled hooliganism'
- Didn't issue a certificate
- Columbia desperate for it to be shown
- Related to subject as whole - thought it would be difficult to cut
- Ban stuck until 1967
Then 'Rebel Without A Cause' passed as 'X' which then limited not just the audience (over 16) but also the cinemas that were prepared to show it - BBFC did't want children to witness 'ridiculous and ineffectual parents'
