Starring the British comedian Tony Hancock, it was written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson. The film was made by Associated British Picture Corporation and distributed by Warner-Pathé (ABPC's distribution arm). PlotHancock plays a disaffected London office clerk who gives up his office job to pursue full-time his vocation as an artist. Single-mindedly, and with an enthusiasm far exceeding any artistic talent, he sets to work on his supposed masterpiece Aphrodite at the Waterhole, moving to Paris where he expects his genius will be appreciated. While his ideas and persona gain acceptance (indeed plaudits) among the "beat" set, legitimate art critics, like Sir Charles Broward (George Sanders), scoff at his work. He manages to achieve success, however, when the work of his former roommate, a genuinely talented painter, becomes confused with his own. The confusion is eventually resolved after a series of art exhibitions, and he returns to London, where he pursues his 'art' in defiance of whatever others may think of it. Cast
Production, themes and responsesThe Rebel attempts to transfer Hancock's TV comedy persona to the big screen, and several regular supporting cast members of Hancock's Half Hour also appeared, including John Le Mesurier, Liz Fraser and Mario Fabrizi. The since demolished railway station used at the beginning of the film was Bingham Road in the Croydon suburb of Addiscombe, named Fortune Green South in the film. In The Rebel, existentialist themes are explored by mocking Parisian intellectual life and portraying the pretensions of the English middle class. Galton and Simpson had previously satirised pseudo-intellectuals in the Hancock's Half Hour radio episode "The Poetry Society" (1959), in which Hancock attempts to imitate the style of the pretentious poets and fails, and is infuriated when his idiot friend Bill does the same and wins their enthusiastic approval. The film also includes scenes parodying modern art. The scene showing Hancock splashing paint onto a canvas and riding a bike over it is a lampoon of the work of Action Painter William Green while the childlike paintings of Hancock, referred to as the 'infantile school' or the 'shapeist school', parody the naive style. The Rebel had its British premiere at the Plaza Cinema in London's West End on 2 March 1961, following a screening at the Beirut Film Festival.[1] An anonymous reviewer (most likely Dudley Carew) in The Times at the time of the film's British release said Hancock had "made the transition from small to large screen" in this film "with gratifying success".[2] According to the Motion Picture Herald, the film was the 6th most popular movie at the UK box office in 1961. It was not well received in the USA. Bosley Crowther in The New York Times found it to be derivative.[3] Hancock though was nominated for a BAFTA Film Award in 1962 as ‘Most Promising Newcomer to Leading Film Roles’. In 2002, the London Institute of 'Pataphysics organised an exhibition consisting of recreations of all the art works seen in the film.[4] The various drawings and paintings attributed to Hancock and Ashby were all produced by the same artist, Alistair Grant (1925–1997).[5] QuotesOn Mrs. Crevatte seeing one of Hancock's pictures on the wall:
