Then Came Bronson (1969)


MGM
Directed by William A. Graham
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

It is tempting to write this off as an Easy Rider clone. Instead, I saw it as a tender love story between two people thrust together by coincidence. Michael Parks is the quiet young man who quits his job and hits the road on his cycle. He reluctantly picks up a nameless girl and they develop an uneasy friendship. Eventually she wants more, but his meditative state of mind won't allow him. They have a few minor adventures along the way. Some nice photography of the California countryside.
