DVD Reviews of The Wanderers

DVD Review: Coming of age in a seminal era
Summary: 5 Stars

Music, direction, relationships, friendships, high-school, sex, peers, etc., THE WANDERERS has it all. So when it came to our town in the early 80's, it struck a chord with a few pals for the way it portrayed a group of friends who hung together thru thick and thin while growing up together. We related.

So much so that a frame was clipped from the film and sent to a jacket company on the Left Coast and 18 of us got Wanderers jackets, just like the ones in the film. The day they came in we opened the box outside the theatre, put them on in admiration and went in and saw the film once again. (I've seen it probably 75 times now.) Sometime in the mid-90's we were paid a visit by Rose and Phil Kaufman (Mom and Pop to us), who posed for pictures with the 10 or so Telluride Wanderers still in town.

I must say that the film has held up better than many of the jackets, some threadbare and some stretching to fit older and larger bodies. The film still says what it did when I first saw it, i.e., that friendship is important and can get you thru tough times, that honor is important, and that even though you move on in life, the soundtrack of your younger life can be taken with you as you grow up.

DVD Review: The wanderers
Summary: 5 Stars

Great movie of the early 60's about a gang called the wanderers trying to rumble against other gangs like the Del Bombers, the Baldies and the Ducky Boys. Plenty of action and laughs and the characters are really likeable. It stars Ken wahl and a cast of people from tv shows you might remember from the past. Great movie of growing up and early innocence before the start of the middle to late crazy 60's.

DVD Review: More than meets the eye
Summary: 5 Stars

As with most Phil Kaufman films, there's a lot more going on than meets the eye. Kaufman is after nothing less than the collision of the end of the 50's as it crashes headlong into the 60's. Featuring a cast of unknowns ( at that time ) and a fantastic soundtrack, Kaufman fills The Wanderers with great character performances such as Terror, the 300 pound gang leader, and the Mob guys in XXl-size Hawaiian shirts. Ken Wahl and Karen Allen lead along with a terrific Linda Mans ( Days of Heaven). And because it just wouldn't be a Phil Kaufman film without a metaphysical layer, there is the unexplained presence of the Ducky Boys, whirling dervishes of ultra violence that might not even be real. It's a film that never received the attention it deserved. And who can forget the opening frame as that first chord of "Walk Like A Man" thunders out. Priceless!

Description of The Wanderers

Tully High School seniors Richie, Joey and Perry run with a gang called the Wanderers in the Bronx. The time is fall 1963 but their experiences are universal: falling in love, surviving in school and defending turf against rivals like the Fordham Baldies, the Del Bombers and the Ducky Boys.
