i just catch wild rebel on one of the mystery science theatre 3000 archive compilation and and this movie be so bad even the mst3k crew couldn not make it entertain . there be some mst3k target that be film whose concept be so dippy they couldn not possibly have be good movie ( like the green slime ) and and others whose basic premise could have be make into genuinely entertaining film if their filmmaker hadn not bobble them in the execution . wild rebel be a film whose basic premise do make a good movie three year earlier and when don siegel direct his remake of the killer at universal . both film be about a failed racing driver who seduce by a femme fatale into drive the getaway car in a robbery mastermind by the woman boyfriend only in the killer the driver be john cassavetes and the woman be angie dickinson and the criminal mastermind ( cast wildly but successfully against type in what turn out to be his final film ) be ronald reagan . steve alaimo and bobbie byers and willie pastrano be quite a comedown . but what really make wild rebel an awful movie be the direction by william grefé ( note the accent over the final e and present in his on screen credit ) and which have absolutely no sense of pace whatsoever and seem to let every shot run at least half again as long a it need to to make it dramatic point . it only a pity that someone do not do a mocking commentary on this movie now ( in 2009 ) while the comparison between steve alaimo hairdo and rod blagojevich would have be irresistible .
