Marlon Brando was by common consent one of the greatest actors of the screen; for many people, he was the greatest. His revolutionary screen technique took cinemagoers by storm, and changed the whole concept of film acting. The stage appearances at the beginning of his career, culminating in the triumph of A Streetcar Named Desire in 1947, singled him out as a rare talent. The move to films in 1950 established him almost at once as the leading actor of his generation. A whole string of triumphant screen classics followed, including A Streetcar Named Desire, On the Waterfront, The Godfather and Last Tango in Paris. In an elegant tribute following his recent death, this book recalls all Brando"s films in words and pictures. A serious analysis of an inspiring actor, this is as much a record of the best of American cinema as it is a unique pictorial memoir of a great twentieth-century hero.
