  Brando was bigger than even his most accomplished co-stars. Streetcar, Apocalypse, Julius Caesar...no one better when he really made the effort.
  Baba-Booey to you all!

  • "One-Eyed Jacks," "Appaloosa," "Last Tango," "The Ugly American" (his most forgotten great role), - tinear 13:57:55 02/20/11 (0)

    and the absolutely forgotten and neglected, "Burn." And who can forget, "The Wild Ones," where he goes up against the very tough Lee Marvin, as few actors could?
    Many more, too, including a hilarious turn in the David Niven co-starring film, "Bed Time Story."

  • A while back I watched (on YouTube) an interview with Richard Burton and he had this to say about Brando. - Tony D. 11:27:22 02/20/11 (1)

    “Suddenly a man came on the stage whom I had never seen or heard of. Before he even spoke, it was as if a leopard had entered the room.”
    
    It might have been The Dick Cavett Show...but regardless of the venue that is one serious comment on a mans presence.

      I saw Streetcar on the big screen not long ago during a local summer film series. I wanted to see Brando in every scene.
