Marlon could be intense but he could be charming too. Heck, he could do anything.
He was an incredibly handsome young man....
Great seeing marlon brando in his younger years
These were the days when there were live shows in NY and Hollywood. Hope & Brando were in CA and Kazan in NY. It lasted about maybe 4 or 5 years then all awards given in Hollywood since.
Initially, are you nostalgic for the days that Marlon Brando attended the Oscars and actually chose to accept his Best Actor award for On The Waterfront? This film, written by Budd Schulberg, was the pinnacle of Kazan's film career. He explained in his autobiography, A Life, that the story of Terry Malloy, Brando's boxer turned dockworker, was his rationalization for presenting testimony before the House Committee and "naming names" of former Communists in the film industry, which alienated him from many in the theatrical and film community, including Arthur Miller. Kazan justified his actions and continued to have a productive career in films, making East Of Eden, A Face In The Crowd and Splendor In The Grass.
MrImiller07 He really made an asshole out of himself when he sent that native american woman to speak when he got oscar for playing vito corleone in the godfather
He did not. He had a political point. He had a notion that we are all equal. We 're still talking about it all those years later.
50s Brando feels like a different person than 70s Brando
Elia Kazan was such a great movie maker. It's too bad he behaved like such a schmuck.
Jans Doe why
@Phoenix except communism in america was not illegal and if it was a threat, it was not a large one. Many people lost their jobs and dignity due to mccarthyism and Kazan's On the Waterfront was basically a pro mccarthyism propaganda piece.
Schmuck is a gentle word to describe a coward.
@@blablatructruc coward?
@@kristen8203 Kazan testified before the HOUSE Un-American Activities Committee so what does SENATOR McArthy have anything to do with him? The so-called Hollywood blacklist were made by the HUAC which is then led by John Stephen Woods, a Democrat. McArthy for those who have been propagandized did not touch Hollywood but hunted Soviet spies within the US government, in particular those in the State department. He did not make the blacklist, it was only in the minds of drugged up Hollywood writers
Happy birthday Brando ❤(3 April 1924)
Marlon Brando was such gorgeous young man. Thank you for the characters that you played.
As Vito Corleone you were a wonderful father, husband, grandfather and a reasonable friend and ally.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.❤️🤗
"As Vito Corleone you were a wonderful father, husband, grandfather and a reasonable friend and ally." 😂😂😂 Don't forget, "murderous psychopath" that is all...
Thank you very much for uploading!. Great director.
I'm fine that On the Waterfront wins Best Picture, but Best Director should belong to Alfred Hitchcock for Rear Window. The direction of On the Waterfront is no where near to the level of the direction of Rear Window. On the Waterfront was set in multiple locations while Rear Window is only set on one location.
You are right! Rear Window, it was like a theatre act Broadway, just in one location, or to be specific, just in ONE ROOM. Yet it tense, dramatic, attracting audience, and very successful. Must be one hell of a director to make a brilliant movie in such limited location and storyline.
"one of the worst movies I've ever seen"- Orson Welles on Rear Window
So handsome that looking at him still gives me joy.. Immense joy incredible pleasure. Whew!
Listen to me Marlon
Great banter between Brando and Hope.
Marlon danced at the end ♥️rip my luv💫
مارلون وهل يخفى القمر الاعظم دائماً ♥️
Wonderful persons!
The rabid applause could be seen multiple ways. People in Hollywood were afraid that if they did not applaud, it could be seen as sympathizing with the Communists. It also shows that while Hollywood speaks about political courage and "leading the way", Hollywood only stands up about a cause when it's perceived as safe. No one had a problem refusing to applaud for Kazan 45 years later when the issue was far in the past.
Marlon being polite?
Bob hope impolite at the end.
@@MrLChurchill Must've reversed roles
Does anyone know what Bob Hope is referring to at 1:55 when he inquires about the pigeon?
+Ralph Killoran [Spoilers for ON THE WATERFRONT] He's talking about the pigeon that TERRY (Marlon's character) raises. Once TERRY declares against the mob, the pigeon is killed.
Watch On The Waterfront. You'll understand.
Arre dont you know? The pigeon/s play great role in the film. Haven't you seen on the waterfront?
@@Tav57 Found it and now I think I understand. "A turning point in Kazan's career came with his testimony as a witness before the House Committee on Un-American Activities in 1952 at the time of the Hollywood blacklist, which brought him strong negative reactions from many liberal friends and colleagues. Kazan attended two hearings. The second, which was in 1952, was when he denounced the names of seven writers, including Author Miller. It cost him their friendship, and many other friends in the entertainment world." People have mixed feelings on capitalists and communists but no one likes pigeons.
Bob Hope looks like Richard Nixon
Yes he does
Para mi el mejor director En la historia del americano. 🤔😶
And then betrayed so many people
Is Paul Newman a copy of Marlon? They look very like..
M.BRANDO HANDS DOWN! THE BEST ACTOR EVER! 👑👑👑👑🐯🐯🐯🐯🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
The backstabbing rat's heyday...
Why did everyone hate him after?
@112878400379438147042 Yet, it saved his career. He went on to do some fine pictures after testifying. I think the United States government for putting a man through that, having to choose between "naming names" and his life's work is damnable.
Joe Postove Even Ayn Rand who was a "friendly" witness said later that the hearings should not have taken place. This is, of course, in keeping with her fear of "star chambers" that should not exist in the United States.
@@MrJoeybabe25 Exactly. The messed up thing is that there are people who would even say that what he did was worse than what Roman Polanski did. The truth is NONE of us would have any idea what we would have done in that situation. We like to think we would have stood our ground. But when your ability to find a job to feed your family is on the line, It's much more difficult. I'm sure, during that time, nobody knew how long it was going to last, or how badly it would have effected people's careers. The main idea that people need to take away from this is that this was a bad period in Hollywood, and it's thankfully over.
@@MrJoeybabe25 rubbish, he was already estblished as the greatest director of his generation. He didn't have to name anybody, he wanted to.
Every person who was blacklisted in the industry because of mccarthyism: -_-
Nope. McCarthy had nothing to do with Hollywood hearings. That was run by Roy Brewer. A Democrat.
Say it with me kiddos: HOLLYWOOD WAS ALWAYS RED
And nothing wrong with that :)
@@blablatructruc it is very wrong
Then why would the honor a guy who denouced reds
Yeah, sure, except for the people who ran it.
CLASS!
Elia kazan acceptance speech only 4 sentences?but classy actually,limited words, let art tells you all
Brando almost appears like a real human being here instead of the freak show he became later.
He was handsome right till he died.
kazan was an amoral, duplicitous creep.
👍👍👍
Snitch of the year
Hero.
@@andrewvanhalen1984 SUPER HERO!
What would you have done?
