 Review of The Defiant Ones
The Defiant Ones (1958) stars Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier, in a very unique sort of action film; a film which blends intense action set-pieces, humour, and social commentary.
The two actors play criminals, chained to each other as they are transported to another prison.
He is stuck with an equally angry, as well as more narrow-minded, man, and tries to make the best of it, by teaching him some lessons, especially about the tradition of bigotry, and the pain of a fl man constantly being told to keep quiet, to not rattle the chains of the system.

 THE DEFIANT ONES
Legend has it that L.A. rockers Donita Sparks and Suzi Gardner formed L7 in 1985 after a five-day speed binge during which they listened to nothing but the title track from Motorhead's Orgasmatron, "Orgone Accumulator" by Motorhead progenitor Hawkwind, and "Sex Bomb" by San Francisco punk band Flipper.
L7's raucous reputation is based, in large part, on a devastating live show, and like its forebear, the band spent years trying to capture that energy on a studio album.
I don't really use effects, but I used to have a side cabinet that was as good as the ones I have now, but it used to be fuzzier with Hawkwind, the three-piece rock 'n' roll band.
