I think he should have been as successful as Paul Newman. Especially in his later acting he had more depth then the top actors. He was concerned about social issues and injustice that the public needed to be aware of. He would have been the first young ethnic actor to reach the heights reserved only for James Dean and Brando. He was truly a talent that wasn’t given the opportunity to be used to its best. Thank you for showing some of his work.
What they mean is Italian Americans, like Irish Americans, were in those days often discriminated against by those of Anglo/Northern European descent. @@lrn_news9171
Sicilian heritage.. In those days, especially, actors who were not middle-class white appearing tended to be cast in "ethnic" parts - darker skin and black hair meant you played Italians, Native-Americans, Armenians, even Asians . That's just how it was.
Sal Mineo was an outstanding actor. Among other movies, he also played Gene Krupa, renowned drummer, in The Gene Krupa story. After the Legendary Drummer of The Rascals, my favorite band of the 60s, saw this movie as a kid, he told everyone to call him Dino from that day on. His real name was Robert. Dino was influenced by Gene Krupa. Rest in Peace, Dino Danelli. 🙏🏻⚘️Rest in Peace, Sal Mineo🙏🏻⚘️
I recently re-watched Rebel without a Cause after several years. Mineo is the only good thing in it. Dean was just such a ham. "You're tearing me APARRRRT!" Gimme a break! It isn't just dated, it's SUCH self-conscious acting that SHRIEKS of "method". The method should not show, any more than the nails of a structure should show. Dean just blinks "CRAFT, CRAFT, CRAFT, see what a craftsman I am" like a neon sign, whereas Mineo inhabits his character very naturally. No one told him he had to be so pretentious.
Just stumbled across this movie. What a great one it was. Movies today, for the most part, have no real substance and meaning. This is a very powerful film with a great message.
Good Movie! I've seen Sal Mineo in some TV shows. Uncle Bill looks about the same 10 years before Buffy. Jody and Cissy moved in with Him and Mr. French!
Way ahead of its time. The first TV play/film to address child abuse. If this had been on TV in the '80s, Brian Keith would have followed up out of character with an 800 number and it would have been a color Afterschool Special.
Sal seemed to gentle to the touch as well as a person. 😍😍😍 the way he was touching and kissing and feeling on her. He seemed like a person full of love.,😍😍
Wow , I haven't seen this movie for years! It used to come on KHJ , Channel 9 , Los Angeles and KCOP , Channel 13 , Los Angeles. I used to watch this on the all night movies. I think Sal Mineo was picking up the mantle as the "troubled teen" after the death of James Dean. It's sad that he was murdered in a random robbery in 1976. My mother said there was a curse on the movie "Rebel Without A Cause" , because of the starring actors died before they reached the age of 50.
I think if Mineo had started his career in the late sixties he coulda have challenged Hoffman or Pacino for many roles. The fifties were too much conventional for a guy with his physique.
Sal Mineo gave a very instinctive performance handling nuanced moments as well as (or better than) Brando, Dean or Clift. Should have at least received a nod from the Academy Awards. Susan Kohner (who starred in "Imitation of Life") was not at all a bad actress and should have had a much longer career in even better films. Thanks for the upload.
You all have to watch another version "Dino" Studio One .50s with Sal. That version he's more on edge. Younger too. The actor who plays his brother in this version, tony, is the same actor that play his brother in the older one.
Great flick, with the screenplay by Reginald Rose ("12 Angry Men") whose work frequently covered juvenile delinquency (such as "Crime In The Streets," also with Sal Mineo, but in a supporting role.) The father's treatment of his son, of his mindset of being "embarrassed" by him and his need for psychological treatment, while expecting the boy to just behave is actually...pretty accurate for many of these 1950s gang kids. "The Capeman" Salvador Agron's stepfather (admittedly, not his biological father) treated him that way, and was borderline abusive, in spite of being a minister who preached constantly of "Christ's love" to his congregation. That's NOT to excuse Agron's murdering of two innocent 16-year-olds in 1959, as there are also plenty of kids who dysfunctional families, who don't kill people, but for those who already have that natural aggression in them, perhaps, this type of family dynamic pushes them to that edge. Perhaps. Another Hollywood "juvenile delinquent" movie that explores that family dynamic in relation to inner-city teenage fighting gangs is 1956's "Rumble On The Docks," with James Darren.
I wish a girl would have asked me to kiss her. I always had to do everything and it wasn't easy. Anyways, R.I.P. Sal Mineo. Sorry you were bumped off in Hollywood.
I know they didn't listen to Johnny Carson jazz in 57. And I don't like hearing it know, its nerve racking. Jerry Lee, Elvis, Big Bopper, lil Richard, Buddy Holley, etc that what was kicken back then, this nerve rack junk ruins the picture, its not authentic, at all. Maybe it was a copyright thing or something, idk. A good movie, except the music...lol.
@@fernandomaron87 it's just teenage rebellion giving depth and reason in a way James Dean had done in '55 álso with Mineo and thereby it's just a copy of Blackboard Jungle etcetera etcetera... I have no issue with Mineo and I think he's handsome, yes even admired him in my younger years, but as movie this here lies far away from originality and repeated the same concept that would further on lead to West Side Story etcetera etcetera; so hey, I guess it's a popular theme to be not-original. Everybody loves James Bond as well, but it's still the same old thing over and over again -not to mention the 007 books, real crap if you ask me-.
@@crapstermcduck6593 i think all 3 movies have something different to offer, Rebel is a study about middle class kids who had cars and material stuff, yet were rebels, Blackboard Jungle is focused more on racial tension, and is told by the teacher's pov, and this movie here is about work class kids who grew up without love and support, and Sal's character is a totally different one from Jimmy Dean's in Rebel, both very effective and touching on the same subject, but with different character study. I understand your opinion, but i think it's a A grade drama.
Squeeze me?!? Nobody asked for your opinion. He isn’t trying to be James Dean. They are both talented charismatic actors but he’s doing his own thing with his character. Bye bye bye

This movie introduced me to Sal Mineo many years ago. I never forgot this movie - or him. A sad loss. A wonderful talent and a lovely man.
Excellent acting from Sal Mineo!! He was one of a kind! Disappointed that he didn't become superstar because he had the potential. Great movie!!
Wow. What a great film. I cant believe it’s never even had a DVD release. Sal was such a skilled actor and such a beautiful man.
When Sal cries it just breaks my heart. I want to give him the biggest hug. :(
I can't thank you enough for posting this movie.
Broke mine too
I want to do more than that to pretty boy Sal. Yummy

"People Got To Be Free" 🎺 🥁 🎺
Mineo is just so good--such a shame the world lost much too soon.TY
Thanks for posting this gem! Sal is especially luminous here.
Sal was a superb actor, underrated and under appreciated. Sadly missed

@@ferociousgumbyYou're tearing me APARRRT!!
Tommy Wiseau did that line better than James.
I haven't seen this movie since 1974. This is my favorite Sal Mineo movie.
It's my favourite Sal movie too. I can't remember when I first saw it. I only saw on TV once, but never forgot it - or Sal.
Just stumbled across this movie. What a great one it was. Movies today, for the most part, have no real substance and meaning. This is a very powerful film with a great message.
Really good movie. Great acting by Sal. His parents were so unloving. I would not want to grow up in that home.
My foster father used to say I reminded him of Dino.
Descansa en paz papá.
Pat Dr simone and Sal minor are excellent tighter as brothers. I was
Their age when this film was re
Leased.
Sal was great in rebel without a cause
Just a great lost 😢
Wow, fabulous.. Great actors Loved it.....
Thank you for sharing. Both versions are worth watching.
Boy Sal was an incredible actor.
Yeah, impressed by his performance. He's also amazing in Somebody up there likes me, Crime in the Streets and of course Rebel Without a Cause
SUSAN KOHNER BEAUTIFUL FACE BEAUTIFUL SPEAKING VOICE. ❤
The last film where Sal Mineo played a juvenile delinquent (according to the Michaud biography).
How tragic that Sal was murdered so young.Also James Dean when he died in a car accident Just so sad.
Brian Keith (Uncle Bill) committed suicide!
and Natalie Wood died in a Driwning accident or murder at 40..the 3 from Rebel without a cause
You can tell watching this movie that James was his profesor, he was very inspired by his style.
Sal Mineo would have been 85 years old Jan 10th of this year. 😢
I was looking for this movie, thank you very much for this post.yeah
Such a handsome man 👨 full of so much potential so sad 😞 his life ended so soon 😞
Yeah, he was just a young man, poor fella. So much talent.
Good Movie! I've seen Sal Mineo in some TV shows.

Touching and kissing and feeling ON her sounds depraved.
He wasn't into women lol
Sal in a t-shirt reminds me of Marlon Brando in “Streetcar”.

Watching this for a film studies project
Me too. I'm writing a screenplay about 50's delinquents
I think he would have made a wonderful Father Karras in "The Exorcist." It would have revived his career, and he would have probably been alive today.
Sal wasn't skilled, Sal was a truly 'talented' actor.
Sal mineo is really handsome 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Queenetta Jones he sure is❤️❤️❤️❤️
The original "Studio One" version was way more powerful. Sal played it more vulnerable on that. It's available on TH-cam.
I also like Sal's performance on the tv version more.
I think if Mineo had started his career in the late sixties he coulda have challenged Hoffman or Pacino for many roles. The fifties were too much conventional for a guy with his physique.

Sal Mineo is handsome 😍
My Hot babyyy...Love You Sal!!! Great Job as Always

So good to see this again after a very long time. Sal was excellent and a great story too.
Thank you great ending

Wow I wish I were the actress kissing handsome sal mineo 😍😍😍😍 she is sooooooo lucky
Nice , never heard of this gem. Soundtrack sometimes sounded like SPARTACUS to me.

Happy bday Sal! Hey Dino!
Just read something I never knew, Sal was very close friends with writer Harlan Ellison.
Uncle Bill!!!!
A good film but the original live tv production is sensational! This film is a watered down, cleansed version of the tv play.
A poor man's James Dean?
Find a better print .
