“I absolutely didn’t know what to do …”: Marlon Brando made only one movie and there was an experience in trouble

We no longer present the absolute icon of Hollywood, which was Marlon Brando. If he was a fabulous actor, though he was very worried about the private side, he also won a solid reputation to often be unmanageable on the plateau, with the behavior of the moon. As for both faces of West La Vengeance, which came out in 1961, with a double actor and director Cap, first … and only in his career.

History? It happens in 1880 in the village of Mexico, Sonora. Rio and Father Longworth robbed the local bank and flee, leading to the people of the village. Rio’s horse has reached the bullet, and the father continues his way after Rio returns to another mountain after Rio’s promise. But he doesn’t have his word.

The father, in fact, fled hunting, and Rio was captured. Years later, he escaped from prison and discovers that his accomplice is now married to Mexico, except that he has become a small coastal sheriff. For revenge, she decides to seduce her beautiful daughter …

“I absolutely didn’t know what to do …”

Marlon Brando’s only realization, and then at the top of his glory, revenge on two faces originally produced by Stanley Kubrick, finally dropping out of the project. Behind the camera, very little comfortable, shooting was not far from Brando’s torture. He will also say in an autobiography published in 1994: “I absolutely didn’t know what to do …” He used the astronomical number of the film (therefore spoiled), waited for hours to fulfill his plans …

In the five days of filming, he has already accused 15 days of filming. A small delicious anecdote: With a good sequence of the actors’ studio method, he argued that he was authentically drunk on the scene where his character was supposed to be … except that he was so drunk that he could not achieve. That did not prevent him from repeating the same process in the following days …

When Paramount discovered the end result, 4:42, the studio was scared. Not happy with the starting budget blast, from $ 1.8 million to $ 6 million, the film was simply unusable for such duration. Paramount received cases in the installation room and brought the film’s duration to 2:21, in addition to changing.

The film gained great success, but Brando bitterly declared himself: “It’s a good movie for them ” But this is not a movie I made … The characters are now black – white, and I wanted them to be gray and human. “

A few years ago, with the support of Martin Scorsese (and Steven Spielberg!), Revenge on both faces was part of the skin classics, and published from DVD and Blu-Ray from Carlota.
