To the people saying that this movie is joke, you gotta remember that this was 1960. They were trying to address the racial issues of the day, and the filmmakers were also white...so they didn’t have to make at all. Plenty of teachable moments for teens in the 1960’s. ReelBlack thanks for sharing historical film✊🏿
Yes, thank you !
Now your comment shows intelligent insight. There are many strong messages that we still haven't grasped even 60 years later. The strongest message to me is when Ms. Moreno makes the assignment presentation before her class@48:08 and the end conversation @1:33:00 -1:34:52 that we are all the same under the same sky. Knowing this was discussed immensely, taught in High School, and on Collage, campuses are the reasons why the '60s was a time of enlightenment. However, the Nation became traumatized by the assassinations of Medgar Evers in June '63, and JFK November'63, Malcolm X in February'65, then MLK in April'68, and RFK June'68, then add VIETNAM to the tragedy. DERAILMENT and STILL OFF TRACK IN 2020.
This is actually made in 63' not 1960.
more like social conditioning...
People can't think beyond last weekend. One shouldn't expect for them to think about, or at least consider, the era of the 1960s.
This is dopest channel on RUclips!
I love it !
this one and omeleto. easily.
@@sonquatsch8585 What is Omeleto❓ I never hearda it👨🏾💻 🤔.
Good symbolism handcuffing🔗 the weed dealer to the lawn jockey statue outside🏠. The black lawnjockies holding lanterns were signals🏮to indicate homes that were fugitive frendly during The Underground Railroad🛤🌌🏃🏿♀️. Escapees knew the codes of blue or red dressed lawn statues🗽. Each color outfit had a different meaning.
This just goes to show how obsessed they was and still are of the original man woman and child😂
Thx for posting I love old movies!!!
....WOW....A BLACK MOVIE WITH 3 BLACK PEOPLE IN IT.....
Actually...3 children and at least 3 adults , so there were 6 😬😎.
With lots of slutty chicks ! And they thought the 60s were the free love generation.
I wonder if it wasnt an already older movie, re titled "The Black Rebels " to cash in on the Blaxploitation craze of the early 70s...? I don't know that, Im just guessing...
This feature, which became This Rebel Breed, was based on a story that appeared in the Los Angeles Police Department's magazine Beat, which had been chosen by the I.A.C.P. as the outstanding police story of the year. By May 1957, the agreement had been executed between the I.A.C.P. and a company called Police Hall of Fame, Inc., in which Rowland and Monte Brice were executive producers and A. B. Guthrie, Jr. had an interest. Bob Hope, associated with the company, had discussed a distribution deal with United Artists by the time a script was submitted to the PCA (Production Code Administration) for approval.
Although the PCA deemed the script unacceptable due to "excessive violence and brutality among juveniles," by May 22, 1958, a revised script was judged to meet the PCA's requirements. In May 1959, a week before filming began, Rowland wrote to the PCA regarding the film on Paramount Pictures letterhead; it is not known, however, if Paramount was involved with the production or financing of this film. By this time, the producers had arranged a distribution deal with Warner Bros.
Prior to filming, the PCA pointed out three troublesome areas in the final screenplay: the violence and brutality; "excessive use of the words 'spic' and 'nigger'"; and the "casual" treatment of "Lola's" pregnancy. Concerning the use of racial invective, a PCA official wrote, "Since these words are obviously offensive to certain people their use should be limited to those situations where the words have dramatic validity."
The film was not exhibited in the cities of Memphis, Atlanta, Dallas and Fort Worth. According to a Daily Variety article, the film was booked for a March 30, 1960 opening in Memphis, but withdrawn after the head of the censor board and a second member objected to the film, saying it "shows teenagers selling drugs, and unfavorably portrays white, Negro and Mexican races." Although the board failed to muster the votes to ban the film, Rowland filed an equity suit in the Memphis Federal Court in May 1960 against the censor board, but withdrew the suit following a request by Warner Bros. A Variety article states that the theater manager in Memphis said the film had never been booked. The censor boards in Atlanta, Dallas and Fort Worth rejected the film for exhibition. In 1965, Rowland, who had regained the film's rights, began releasing it under the title Lola's Mistake.
Rita Moreno!! Happy Birthday Earth 🌎 Day Strong 💪🏿
Ain't that Robert Mitchums son ?
@@stephenhensley5631 MAYBE IDK 😐 HOWEVER I DO KNOW ROBERT MITCHUMS WAS BORN IN MY HOMETOWN OF BRIDGEPORT CT..203 STAND UP!!
@@stephenhensley5631 I thought it was Robert Mitchum!
Rita Moreno is Puerto Rican😉
@@luzfigueroa536 Claro que si ✅🇵🇷
I do not see how Rita Moreno could have been involved in a movie like this. Ninety percent of this movie did not even have any BLACK PEOPLE in it. If anything it says a lot about the struggle that black actors and actresses historically have had to deal with in Hollywood and what America thinks of Black People...Invisible!!!
Ms Moreno is black
Thank you so much for all the great uploads 🥰👍
Yes! HAPPY BIRTHDAY Rita Moreno!
R.I.P. Al Freeman, Jay (one of the "There's that guy again" actors) Novello and Hari Rhodes.
Happy Birthday Rita
apparently nobody listened to Rita Moreno speech in class during the movie, she was very beautiful woman who could sing and dance i for one miss her
She's still around and looking good. She recently played in the West Side Story remake.
THANK YOU FOR DOWNLOADING THESE OLD MOVIES GREAT CHANNEL XO
I'm willing to bet if you showed these at a theater you'd turn a pretty penny. Even if only on weekend's. If copyright restrictions didn't prohibit it.
😎🤣😂🤣💯💯💯💯 ...especially the beginning of this movie! Who knew they were allowed to be THIS explict in movies??? I forgot what the movie was abt for a second. 👀
Seriously though, I agree! Nothing beats a classic.
@@NajSinghs Win-win in my book! 👍☺🥂

@@reelblack MOST appreciative ! If you could take a selection on a Film🎥 Festival Tour ! That'd be srellar
Where the Black folks at?!?!?!
😂😂😂
Original title: This Rebel Breed. No Black "rebels"! 🤫 🤭
these are the oldest looking high school kids I have ever seen!!......back then they could' nt get real teenage actors for these parts?.....look like there pushing 40!!
Rita was pushin 30 here. Right before "West Side Story"💃🏽🌃.
Amazing piece of cinema. Thank you.
I enjoyed this movie 🍿
Rita still Rocks !! Love Her mucho Siempre !! J D
And the belly dancing scene with that music👀, the knife fight👀 this movie is funny
This film shows what life was like before the internet. It bares the soul of America.
that black is black talk ain't nothing new to me, at least I know who I am!!!!
Rita makes any movie she`s in worth watching....
In these movies they had to have a guy with a saxophone following everyone around in case something jazzy happened. "What's it to ya, fuzz?"
This used to be on the late show a lot when I was a kid. Pretty good old movie.
That big fight scene in the house🤣😂🤣🤣they just tearing up the livingroom😂😂🤣, music quickly played when it showed the black girl sitting in the cop car , this was a good laugh, thankyou
No matter what decade, 30 year olds getting cast as high school teenagers sometimes. It is silly. They still do it today in casting
You ever notice how they always make the white guys the cool ones in all the old movies but real life is totally opposite?
this movie bring a whole new meaning for there is nothing new under the sun.....that is either grand ma or great grand ma at the house party....
Rita has already done filming as Anita on the film adaption of West side story around in 1960.
This is 1963' not 1960 as advertised.
I believe made in 1959 (?) and first released in 1960.
But then re-released, with added footage, in 1963.
@14:00. The old guy is a great character actor.
Damn this movie 60 years old
This is a very good essay on petty Racism . !960 was a year of beginnings and Nice Cars ! J D
❤❤❤ This movie !
I guess they didn't have any "Light-skinned" actors back then to play the undercover cop !!!
This was back when they'd hire Charlton Heston to play a Mexican cop. Ugh... I love this movie, though, despite the obvious, and sadly common, flaw of putting bronzer on a white-looking dude and pretending he's a person of color.
Charles F. Roland I can overlook that...it was the overall message that was strong for teens in the 1960’s
Charles F. Roland Wait, he's not mixed!??
Lmao there's always been light skinned Israelites! this movie is from an era where the very bias they claim to address in the movie was seething in Hollywood. Even while they were bombing Asians across the waters they were more comfortable casting them then "Blacks" "Latinos" or "Natives".
Lol
Good Movie, but things are still the same. when will we get over the race problem!.....Rita Moreno look "Good" always like her {westSide Story} there are still black people passing for white in 2019 in the south!!!!!!!
And Rita is not Mexican 😏
That was good!
the Ebonys !??!! there were a street gang in staten island called the ebony stallions,singer and dancer, actor, I forgot his name he plays Rupert on the film Georgia Georgia with Diana sands he was one of the gang around the late 1950's, he said in a jet magazine interview1973.
Lola and Jimmy crossing the color line was a lot for film in 1960. And ayee yoo those white kids straight wilidling out off beer and weed.
Classic!!!
Many of you are asking me why I say this is from 1963 as opposed to 1960. Easy...go to 43:35....its a 63' Chevy Impala. No 63' Chevy anything in 1960. Do you believe me now???😜
It’s actually a 64 Impala.
nope!!!
@@theprocess5217 63',
Rita Moreno HEYYYYYYYY YOU GUY'S
A Rita Moreno, FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS 🎶
White gang member trying to introduce weed into a Mexican neighborhood!?!?!?!?!
Good movie!
This movie have that B movie field to it!!
yeah the outfield to it bruh👍🏾
@ or near the 6:01 marker... that teacher spoke to 'WM's World' ...thinking about #HowardZinn's history books on America... We're on StolenSoil... yet! Said Stolen Soil is claimed to be 'owned'. Other parts of the l a w cite being in possession of 'stolen goods' as ill-legal.
sigh...
Rita is a beautiful woman
Rita is fine as wine, I saw her on a talk show explaining how bigoted hollywierd really were back in the day
At some point, some guy with money, probably somebody's uncle, must have said "say ... there's not enough SKIN in this picture! The kids like to see people getting to THIRD BASE! What if we have the white cop walk into some rooms where guys are lounging around with girls in their bras? And we'll have him smile--you know, like, 'my bad!'--and leave the room? You know? Like, again and again, seven or eight times? We'll make room by cutting out all the other parts of the plot where it makes sense that he's in this movie."
Good movie and it’s still going on today but not as out spoken. Racism is very much alive, it’s a disease that continues to affect the same situations among races of society. Is this fair to say or not?
i love this channel
MIXING IT WELL,, WITH REBEL;;
Rita's gonna get her kicks....Too-nieeeete .
The scenes with the wild teens in bras🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Jump Street before Jump street...
The guy who played Buck, needs an oscar!!!! Lastly , the hottest white girl has a little black in her. Lmao
That lawn ornament yikes🥺
Black people flipping over white peoples cars with them in them in the 1960's? Where the hell did that ever happen at?
Michigan
It seems that these movies depicting racism are all over youtube. I wonder why.....
This movie is joke. The propaganda is real 🙄
Na Love ...this was 1960, and a powerful film for teens of the day.
@@simmiewilliams5970 Sucking toes and exposing kids to drugs. Well the video KIDZ did a way better job. This movie is a joke and only exposed how wicked racially challenged White folk are. Shows white committing all kinds by promiscuous acts but it's the Latina girl that gets pregnant? 🤷🏾♀️ Propaganda to the fullest. The other absurdity kids fight cops and none of them get killed? That alone put this movie into fantasy island.
@@NaLovePHAT4Life FACTS
Rita Moren is a Beautiful woman , Racism is all over the world, and nothing but LIES,, Hollywood made movies that was nothing but LIES,,, and still making up LIES,, this is why I do watch anymore Slave movies,,, WHY can’t white peoples tell their History in movies,,, all they do is LIE about other RACES HISTORY
hmmm....I saw at least one 1963 Chevy Impala......you say it was made in 1960?
6 or 7 guys flip over a heavy ass car...damn that's gangsta!
This is from 1963' NOT 1960.
Movie was shot in 1960. The gratuitous soft core porn scenes were shot and spliced into the movie in '63.
That fake music is awful!
This movie is a joke.
"If I can stop 1 kid from taking that first hit of marijuana it will be worth it", said the narcotics agent.
I see 2 themes in this movie: the evils of marijuana and non-white people "stepping up" by having relationships with white people. The 3 examples of the second are the father of Rita Moreno's character marrying a white woman, Rita Moreno's character having the boy friend Jimmy, and the supposed black woman who was really white having Buck as a boyfriend.
These themes are laughable today but they seemed livid in 1960, especially with white conservatives.
Hard to believe from the 60's
Love you
10:15-10:55 slapping down economic determinists before anyone even had a chance to coin the term.
Do I see the rear end of a 64 Chevy Impala in the scene at about - 51:18 - ? Great movie but just wondering when it was made or if there were any changes / updates to the original.....
I don't see anything remotely resembling a '64. Nice Hudson at 50:30, though.
The soft core porn scenes were added to the movie shot in 1963.
They called the film The Black Rebels making people think it was about black gang members. When in fact it wasn't. Great marketing tool! But it is misrepresentation!
So this is what my grandparents were doing, tisk, tisk....
That shot out to Maria Moreno is our Los Angelinas favorite Senarita I love her science a kid I always wonder how she is I know she’s good she was one of our most famous Actress that made big in Los Angeles she inspires me still she did that Happy BDay Maria I love you too
Is the guy with the band aid spray painted black?
WTF?!
Let him pick up his own book
you listened to the teacher's speech?
Is that Harry Belafonte?
No that is Al Freeman Jr. Used to play captain Ed Harris on One life to live
@@sheriyahisrael6677
The last "BIG" part I remember seeing him in was in Spike Lee's "X" (1992) playing the part of The "Honorable Elijah Muhammad"
But he played in many big budget films in the 1960's
Always playing a dignified character.
I think he also starred in a short lived ABC sitcom in '74-'75? "HOT - L BALTIMORE"
Hell no Belafonte did not make class B movies
Smokin with ciggawets
😂😂😂😂
I can't watch maybe
Later toooooo much anxiety building
the leader of the gang was seriously annoying. i had NO idea how much antiracism film there was back then. WOW!.
Living in my sweet conntry 🇺🇸?not 🇵🇦?
All those demonic statues and pictures in that church makes it a demonic church
32:47 the most narcest narc you'd ever have seen
poor rita lmaooo why was she in this
I here that Diane.Canon playing a mulatto go figure🙄
The main character seems more Hispanic and white then he is black 🤔🤔🤔 lmao 😂 tbh
You need to use your imagination. How about the white woman who was Buck's girl friend who turned out to be black. Yes, imagination is key here.
