Wow. That face Brando makes at 5:53 speaks volumes. His dad came off exactly like I expected him to, after reading William Mann’s biography of Brando. Incredible.
Marlon Brando is the best actor there ever was. He’s the master of his craft. Brando can play any character role and make one believe he’s that character. I don’t think I can adequately express his genius talent. I’ve watched every Brando movie since The Wild One in the 50’s since I was a young girl. And I will continue to watch his movies until my demise. I deeply appreciate the gift of his genius talent as an actor to the movie industry.
It's endearing how Marlon tapped his father's foot at the 6:17 mark after he jokingly said he could take his Dad down. You can tell his father could be a colossal ass but Marlon still sought his approval.
Well I think Marlon really had serious dislike of his dad but kids even abused ones have some love for him & still was respectful in that he wasn't going to disrespect his father. His reaction to his dad talking about his child rearing of Brando & his sisters says a lot. Deep down I'm sure he had some sort of love for his dad
Just trying to act like a good son . He was suffering I guess(from his documentary he said he and his father were both acting) which makes me feel sad for marlon
Marlon Brando had a much more modern look/voice/hair than his time. This haircut is super modern. But I do enjoy when he has that 1950s slick back. He looks more dashing and stunning with the longer hair
5:52 “I think he had more trouble with his parents than most children do” Marlon’s face... that’s his way of saying he had to put up with their alcoholism?
It was a confused look. "Okay? Since when I was ever troubled with you or mom? When you and mom was getting drunk every night? And I had to put up with your alcoholism?"
@@sarahbartlett1196 you not be caring and loving Mom if you r son has to drag you out out of jails and bars (sometimes naked). There’s also info that the Mom had an incestuous relationship with her son and she also let the nanny have an abusive relationship with him as well. Like lots of abused kids MB idolized his mom and hated his father probably because she was the lessor of two evils and he needed some sense that he was loved. both were pretty bad parents!
Besides his beautiful appearance, his intellect & insight was the sole of his amazing character. The way he supported what he believed in & shared his philosophy based on human behaviour/nature. Activists were given strong courage because of Marlon. Contrary to the allegations he received, you can't deny the gift he provided to the world because that's what we saw unlike what was allegated
I know he lived in the hills above LA for many years.....I wonder if this is the house he lived in until his death?.....what is cool that Jack Nicholson lived next door to him.....when Brando died he bought the house and tore it down....he said that Brando s house was in bad shape and full of black mold etc.....
No he was unhappy later in life because the world was/is jaded and fake. He was the truth and so was Spencer Tracy and he felt the same way about acting.
Marlon is phenomenal,and he is truly talented.He is the great entertainer in this living world and he will always be,I love him so as people loves him from around the world .
He literally won the Oscar that week and his pops says he’s not proud of him as a actor lol wow, jealousy comes from all forms of life. Congrats on marlon to keep pushing forward RIP 🐐🐐🐐🙏🏾🙏🏾
It's because he didn't want his son to become an actor. Brando's father was an old fashioned man, and acting was seen by many old conservative types as a poor career (not because it couldn't make money, but because it was seen as somewhat demeaning by some people). He did say he was proud of him as a man besides of his career as an actor.
@@NikoChristianWallenberg I think also because Brando was so different from other actors at the time, he was very brash and impulsive. Actors at that time like Cary Grant or Clark Gable were like gentlemen and groomed and perfect and Brando was the anti-thesis I’d that. So maybe his dad meant that.
Brandon .. my God what an incredibly multi-faceted personality.; so well spoken and intelligent. Unbelievable talent. This man radiated charism, and the features of a Greek statue. He demonstrates the courage to speak out for social justice. There will never be another Marlon Brando
What I love about Marlon Brando was that he was a true human rights activist. He was the anti establishment that we so need today. He was so much ahead of his time! So diverse! He was kicked out schools and never graduated yet spoke five foreign languages and three fluently! To see Marlon father's dismay his accomplishments just angers me. No wonder Marlon was miserable and his hatred toward acting profession throughout his adulthood. It started from childhood and it was right on television. Despite his personal life with women, I want to say as a woman that you are enough Marlon. Thank you for fighting for the good as your fighting good spirit lives on. Rest in heaven Marlon.
From the Irish Times Marlon Brando have spoken five languages, English, French, Spanish, Italian and Japanese. He spoken three fluently with is French, Spanish and English. I also believe he had spoken German as well.
He always lived in a different world than ours, even back in his "time". Today in 2020 with covid, I watch this and marvel at how life used to be. Maybe I'll buy a new suit instead of my Walmart sweatpants and baseball cap...I am 68
Marlon had a look of confusion when his dad said he had the child issue trait with his mom and dad. I read other comments and they said it was them, his mother and father's drinking habits. So that could be why Marlon was so augmentative...
This was wonderful. It was so great to hear him play the drums! And it was painful to watch him have to interact with his father and talk about his mother. He came across as so intelligent and thoughtful here. I was especially impressed with what he had to say about the movie industry, art and playing to higher objectives and not just the lowest common denominator.
I agree, but considering the context of the interview you have to keep in mind the roles Brando was associated with at that time. The general public thought of him as usually playing guttural thugs who thumbed their noses at authority: street people who were in no sense of the term “respectable”. That was the stereotype of him, despite playing Shakespeare. To that end, I think from Sr’s point of view he felt expressing pride in his son as an actor was tantamount to being proud of what his roles represented to society. By extension, it represented being ashamed of the society those roles seemed to question. In the conservative America of the 1950s, being proud of such roles and the questions they provoked would’ve been a no-no for a “respectable man”.
@Brisingam, Marlon despised his father throughout his whole entire life because his father has told him that he will never accomplish anything. His father was very abusive. Marlon got his mother's heart however she was a neglectful woman who wanted to focus on career than her own children. Both of his parents were alcoholics which brought Marlon much pain throughout his adulthood. He is the product an alcoholism.
Brisingam It’s a bit more complicated than that in my opinion. “The Wild One” was released a little over a year before this broadcast. Need I write more (hopefully not)?
The greatest actor ever! “On the Waterfront” said it all for me. Only Johnny Depp comes close to Marlon’s acting chops. With Eva Marie Saint, they were the real deal...
Marlon was such a GORGEOUS GORGEOUS man! his voice too 🔥🥵🔥🥵 and he was such an amazing actor the best I think like all the different roles he could play! 🥺😘 and....I just luv everything about him! 😱😳 he seemed so sweet flirty and kind during this time! 😏🥵 also I had no idea he was talented in other things as well like the drumming 😁😊 it makes me soo sad that he's not around anymore especially after watching him portray Stanley in a streetcar I fell in love with him in that 🥺😥😩😭😏🔥🥵🥰
This interview was ahead of it’s time! It’s beautifully socially distanced, and gives viewers insight on what their home looks like. Nowadays, every celebrity wants privacy. Which is understandable, there’s more stalkers today than before.
You receive the top award in your profession on the anniversary of your mother’s death. 2 days later your father says he’s not proud of you as an actor. Crazy! Also notice after MB was standing up talking about his mothers portrait he sat back down in different chair away from his toxic Dad.
This is perhaps the most incredible footage and interview of Brando I have ever seen. Thanks for making it available. I cannot believe that Brando - given his impending distaste of birth his craft and the media - would ever have agreed to such a ridiculous interview. He changed completely!
Wonderful piece of nostalgia. In later interviews he seemed rather jaded and sullen. He became dismissive of his enormous talent and the art of acting in general. I wonder if his father's words sank too deeply.
“Once father and son were together, the tension crackled. When Murrow asked Marlon Senior if he was proud of his son, the older Brando stammered, “Well, as an actor, not too proud, but as a man, why, quite proud.” If things had ended at that point, the tension might have subsided. But then Murrow asked if Marlon had been “hard to handle” as a child. “I think he had the usual childhood traits,” Marlon Senior replied. “I think he had probably a little more trouble with his parents than most children do.” “What did he mean exactly? “Trouble with his parents” because they had been alcoholic and neglectful and abusive? That was certainly one way to interpret Marlon Senior’s words. But it is more likely that the old man’s anxiety had left him imprecise with his prepositions. Certainly that was how his son discerned his intent: the younger Brando had been more trouble FOR his parents than most children. Hearing this, Marlon simmered with one of his Rumpelstiltskin rages, right there on national television-though by now he’d learned to control his actions and his expressions. But the fury was nevertheless there, obvious to anyone who knew him, pulsating beneath the surface, in the twitch of his smile, the quaver of his hands, the intensity of his eyes. “When Marlon scowled, Murrow asked if he wanted to defend himself. “I really don’t feel I need to defend myself,” Marlon said tightly. “I can lick this guy with one hand, so…” He shrugged. “Let it go,” he said, apparently speaking to himself, patting his father’s foot. “LET IT GO. Marlon had been letting it go for a year now. How long could he really keep doing it? How long could he keep up this charade, this bluff? Five years, he’d given himself. Five years, and that he’d have enough money from Pennebaker, from his father’s investments, to escape this madness and do something else. But could he hold out that long? Sitting there, in front of the television cameras, Marlon seemed on the verge of cracking, as if at any moment he’d jump to his feet, punch his father, knock over the cameras, pull down the lighting, yank off his tie, tell the viewers to fuck off, and toss his Oscar straight over the cliff.

Yes I can. I am old enough to remember when people were allowed to live their life the way they felt fit and people made their own decisions. Today people are protected and told how to think.
oh 😏 YAAS! 😍 that's like my FAVORITE scene from Streetcar 😳 they're CHEMISTRY made me MELT 😌 and he was so so SO GORGEOUS! 🥵🔥😍🥵 and Brando's sexy smirk at her and his flirting sexual tension with Vivien how did she DO it?! 😩 because I HONESTLY would've fainted 😆 lol 😍 I still remember the VERY sexy Jazz music in the background as well 🥵 it was absolutely PERFECT for the scene I thought! 😱 lastly the famous line YOU must be Stanley 😏 I'm Blanche 😳
April 1st 1955, the golden age of Hollywood. Marlon Brando, James Dean was still alive, Montgomery Clift before his car accident. Bogart still alive , spencer Tracy, James Cagney
Something inside so strong allowed him to remain the genuine, gentle, understanding, polite and intelligent conversationalist his narcissistic ass of a father had intended to prevent him from being here...
It's funny to watch this interview after watching his Connie Chung interview and his Dick Cavett interview. He's way more accommodating here but younger and less powerful than the other interviews. I can tell though he hates answering these questions. haha.
I enjoyed Streetcar named desire, but I'm also a Vivien Leigh fan (my mother named me after her hence my middle name) I've just recently gotten into the younger Marlon movies...his smile makes me melt!! And the talent is phenomenal!!
Why is this interview filmed better than today's interviews? Creativity is dead

Wow. That face Brando makes at 5:53 speaks volumes. His dad came off exactly like I expected him to, after reading William Mann’s biography of Brando. Incredible.

Yes, he's just shocked at his father's lie...
His father was confident to say that about his son as well.
I think most of all in this scene Marlon is very uncomfortable that his dad is revealing intimate things to the public

Allegations?
Marlon was simply awesome.
God Hollywood California in 1955. Wow. Just wow. Imagine driving around that beautiful city when it was actually clean & uncluttered.

He was so positive and optimistic here. He got so jaded later and unhappy. I wish he stayed like this.
Nah, this was an act, he later told in his documentary.
What documentary is this?
He was acting like this because his mother asked him to make lots of money in movies on her deathbed
No he was unhappy later in life because the world was/is jaded and fake. He was the truth and so was Spencer Tracy and he felt the same way about acting.
He was sexually insatiable and mistreated as a child and it probably caught up with him as his youth diminished

What a creative interview.
It was practically a show.
It was hardly creative. Awkward, yes.
DAMN He was beaUtiFuL
His Father was a prick so say the least. Now Brando's views on his Father in his memoirs make sense to me
Fascinating to see Brando at this point in his career. Proud of his Academy award, which years later served as a doorstop.
He always lived in a different world than ours, even back in his "time". Today in 2020 with covid, I watch this and marvel at how life used to be. Maybe I'll buy a new suit instead of my Walmart sweatpants and baseball cap...I am 68

Yeah before the communism set in
We can try and re-create it in our own little worlds as best we can.
Loved his facial expression while playing the congas!!! He was very multi-faceted!!! Bravo Brandon💖

When he was younger, Marlon was such an attractive man. He inherited his mom's looks.
A beautiful man with a clearly disturbing upbringing. He is missed ♡
When Marlon talks about living on a farm and milking the cow it reminds me of Last Tango, 20 years after...
That was partly based on his life

It's funny to watch this interview after watching his Connie Chung interview and his Dick Cavett interview. He's way more accommodating here but younger and less powerful than the other interviews. I can tell though he hates answering these questions. haha.

Knowing what's known now about his childhood, the interview with his father is one the realist things I've ever seen recorded.
Intelligent and very sweet man.
Such a beautiful, intelligent, and sensitive man. He just draws you in and makes you fall in love with him. Amazing!
*Best Marlon Brando film!?? I just started watching on the waterfront.*
A streetcar named desire
Streetcar, Godfather, Last Tango, Apocalypse now, are his better movies. However he had some great performances in lesser movies too.
The Fugitive Kind is a forgotten gem
I enjoyed Streetcar named desire, but I'm also a Vivien Leigh fan (my mother named me after her hence my middle name) I've just recently gotten into the younger Marlon movies...his smile makes me melt!! And the talent is phenomenal!!
Marlon would say Queimada (Burn). But I go with Sarah‘s choice, would have named exactly those movies 👍
Along with Mozart, Lennon, Harrison, Bach and Ella I want a chat with Marlon in the next life if I make it there: I'm sure they all have.
You can tell he's acting during the interview.
