THE FILM CENSOR has always refused to licence Marlon Brando's

The Wild Ones, on the grounds that its theme of violent hooliganism might act as an incitement to the lawless-minded. The film was shown in Cambr;rige by permission of the local magistrates, and now I see that the censor's

fiat is to be defied again : The Wild Ones will be shown to prisoners in Dartmoor.
