THE WANDERERS 1978 Orion
- Directed by Philip Kaufman
- Screenplay by Philip and Rose Kaufman, based on novel by Richard Price
- Starring Ken Wahl and Karen Allen
- Screenplay co-written by Philip Kaufman
- “It’s like GREASE with brass knuckles. THE WANDERERS is a violent, sweet-tempered, funny and compassionate ode to the knights of the inner city who had to fight to grow up.”
–Jack Kroll, NEWSWEEK MAGAZINE - “THE WANDERERS is always worth watching It contains more surprises than a walking tour of Times Square at 3 in the morning: you never know whether the intense activity will explode into violence, scatalogical humor or even sentimentality.”
–Frank Rich, TIME - “Richard Price’s book on which the movie is based and Philip Kaufman’s imaginative, loving direction make today’s minds and hearts identify with the vintage 1963 Bronx high school seniors whose story it is. Funny and touching…violent and tender…thoroughly ingratiating and unpretentious film…marvelous music…though outwardly it might appear to be a gang movie, inwardly it is something much more important…it moved me so much.”
–Norma McLain, After Dark Magazine - “THE WANDERERS has a humor, a pungency and a pictorial vividness matched by few movies these days.”
–Richard Freedman, NEWARK STAR LEDGER”It’s funny and sad and has some fine performances. It also boasts one of the best assemblages of rock music ever put together for a film… the flip side of AMERICAN GRAFFITI. ”
–Rona Barett, WABC-TV”THE WANDERERS has stimulated, moved and excited me more than any film I have seen in months…Phil Kaufman’s THE WANDERERS is like WEST SIDE STORY flavored with comic grotesquerie and melancholy poetry of Fellini… THE WANDERERS reawakens our sense of wonder at the most exotic country of all–our own buried past.”
–Stephen Farber, NEW WEST MAGAZINE”Unflaggingly high energy level…magical…”
–Janet Maslin, NEW YORK TIMES”Full of sexy scenes and pungent performances…As an acting debut, (Ken) Wahl’s performance is phenomenal.”
