Found it! The NME 26.01.1980 survey on RNR in cinema I had somewhere, so here’s the report: “Ludicrously tame as it would appear now Rock Around the Clock vent the teenagers frustrations; they danced in the aisles, they tore up seats during screenings, scores of police were usually on hand for the sell-out performances. Efforts were made to ban the film in this country [UK] and the fact that RNR’s instant notoriety was branded by religious and media buffoons as decadent and carnal only enhanced its appeal.
The seeds of this extraordinary explosion had actually been sown a couple of years before in two seminal youth movies The Wild One and Rebel Without a Cause. The teen audience had already found new totems in the bloody nihilism of Marlon Brando’s biker in the former and the posthumous cult that mushroomed around James Dean, star of the latter. […] Although it remained banned in this country [UK] for 15 years The Wild One was a remarkable lepid melodrama about a gang of bikers terrorizing a small town that ineptly bowdlerized themes that underground film maker Kenneth Anger had been exploring for years (that motorbikes and their attendant paraphernalia had homosexual connotations). The all-important image was Brando’s surly leather-clad menace. But the more effective film for the youngsters was Rebel…”, continued on screen courtesy RL.
May we, at some point, get to see “Madame de . . .” also from 1953? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046022/

So film aside (indispensable ph UK BR, thanks!) this commentary film historian is the one behind the 70mins road movie docu Wanderlust/2006 (as in Rarelust) with a who-is-who list guested, if this rare artefact is also available would be highly appreciated to upload!
PS: what made me curious is that Kazan (Brando’s mentor) entrusted her his entire archive, then Klint Eastwood followed, in the docu you get William Burroughs to John Lurie, I looked no further.
