"My ( ) shrank to the size of a peanut" Marlon Brando
This, bar Apocalypse Now, is our last record of Marlon Brando's precious talent. The film delves deep into his mind, his life, his experiences, his technique. What strikes you about the splendour of his performance is the small intricacies of his performance: in their first encounter with the girl his toys with an old lamp (it may sound ridiculous but we are enthralled). Despite the fracas surrounding the film's erotic content - the film is most certainly not about sex - it is about BRANDO (what better excuse to make a movie! ) The only criticsm is the worthless subplot of the camera-man, when he is off the screen we long for Brando. What a same he never played Jay Gatsby after this triumph - should have won another Oscar!
