It is said the Beatles may have taken their name from Lee Marvin's motorcycle gang the Beetles in Brando's 1953 film The Wild One. Since this movie was banned in England, it is still possible the Beatles saw a bootleg copy or got a copy from the continent. There must have been considerable interest in such a notorious film and enterprising individuals must have found a way to satisfy such a demand.
