It's just too dark for that. <br /><br />It's interesting to watch the two intersecting acting styles of Brando and Vivien Leigh and how they attract and repel each other. I'd agree that Leigh makes the strongest impression, she really was such a fantastic film actress it's a pity she didn't do more but she preferred the stage partly it seems because that's where Olivier's heart was and she strove to be his equal there. She was well regarded but being such an internal performer she came through better on celluloid. If you haven't seen them I'd recommend Waterloo Bridge, Sidewalks of London, That Hamilton Woman and Ship of Fools among her films.<br /><br />I can't envision this in color since the shadows of black and white were almost another character in the film. <br /><br />It's not something I rewatch often nor is it my favorite Williams adaptation, I prefer The Night of the Iguana and Suddenly, Last Summer, but it's a fine film.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-13223862756797263092018-07-21T07:30:22.876-05:002018-07-21T07:30:22.876-05:00Agreed!Agreed!Brittani Burnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975067259283007280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-42821083222118252872018-07-21T07:30:13.775-05:002018-07-21T07:30:13.775-05:00I'm really surprised he was the only one that ...I'm really surprised he was the only one that didn't win an Oscar here.

She had to undergo electric shock therapy and play this role which must have been tough plus Marlon Brando was a creep. He knew Vivien Leigh was of breeding, as one use to say. She did not like how he sweated on set and had bad breath and he took advantage of this and goaded her which did not help her fragile state.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-58209672665204099292018-07-19T09:12:51.148-05:002018-07-19T09:12:51.148-05:00Absolutely one of the greatest films ever made.
