Melody Patterson gets unhinged, unchained, and generally uncivilized as she settles a score in this photo made in 1969 as a promo for her biker outlaw flick The Cycle Savages. It was one of only a handful of movies she made, along with such efforts as The Angry Breed and Blood and Lace. We’re far too weak on the outlaw biker genre. We’ve seen Easy Rider, The Wild Ones, The Wild Angels, Hell’s Bloody Devils, and one or two others. Well actually, maybe we’re better in the genre than we thought. But we still need to see The Cycle Savages just to find out how and why Patterson gets pushed to this point.
This definitely is not a love song.
