I have to string along with the Lieutenant and Ringo on this one. I never understood Brando's reputation. If I had never heard of him before The Godfather, I would have figured he was a solid supporting actor, but his history of mannerisms, misfires and boxoffice bombs distracted me from his performance. My own prejudice, but I found him annoying.
Without going to IMDB, I recall he starred in such colossal flops as Guys and Dolls, Night of the Following Day, Mutiny on the Bounty, Teahouse for the August Moon, Candy, Ugly American and many more which (thank God) escape me.
One Eyed Jacks was a huge misfire. The only smart move that Brando, as director, made was hiring Ben Johnson and Slim Pickens. I understand that when he interviewed Ben, he asked him what he thought of Jack Palance's performance in Shane. Ben replied to the effect that if it were him, he wouldn't have put gloves on before drawing his handgun.
We deal in lead, friend.
