The Marlon Brando.

Amazing how Marlon B could so casually convey supreme menace from situations which are hardly synonymous with same.

Sheer, unnerving menace…from the confines of a bubble bath.

Unreal hand speed and devastating power with either hand, whilst bestowing epithets and disposing of tables.

And, of course, his iconic performance in The Godfather.

The truly great Marlon Brando, appearing here in The Missouri Breaks, One-Eyed Jacks, Apocalypse Now, The Godfather, Free Money, and The Island of Dr. Moreau. One of the supreme practitioners of his art, ever to stride across the earth.
