- Wonderful scene between Terry (Marlon Brando) and Edie (Eva Marie Saint). Her dropping the glove was not in the script, but Brando picked it up and improvised. The director (Elia Kazan) loved it and left it in.
- Krátké a kreslené filmy
The intiamcy created by Marlon Brando by picking up the glove and then by putting it on speaks wonders. So unique, intense and sublime.
+janiehallls This classic movie will never go away. And people will always know Brando because of it. And Eve Marie Saint. Wonderful classic.
janiehallls but who's idea was that? director or Marlon improvising
Aashish it was marlon , the glove fall unintentionally and he handle it well , u can check it out .
Dalal alsubaie okay. full credit also to the actress, cameraman who continued to roll..
janiehallls intimacy or harassment and creepy..? Strategically doing that so that she has to stick around and talk to him lol.
Brando was the Mozart of acting. Notice how he never stopped the scene when she dropped the glove, just kept on going. I bet Kazan couldn't believe his luck.
They actually rehearsed that-it was a happy accident- which makes it even more amazing that it doesn't appear as such.
Brando lost himself in the character. He was no longer Brando. He was great. I can't watch "Streetcar Named Desire" because his portrayal of Kowalski is too real, too disgusting for me to even watch it. I heard that he went to the Bronx zoo for several weeks and studied the mannerisms of gorillas to help him get into the character. He was the Jimi Hendrix of acting in the 50's.
I read somewhere that he improvised that motion...with the glove. Simplistic brilliance.
@@KimarieVIP Wouldn't surprise me. I think once he got into a character that character was going to have a life of it's own, facial expressions, gestures, speech patterns consistent throughout the film. The guy was just unique, great method actor along with James Dean and many others. I have a feeling he was very intelligent, more than one would imagine.
well the way he broke the norms and pioneered a new era of acting will make him more like the Beethoven of acting, rather than Mozart.
I love how she extended her hand to recover the glove and he just didn't care at all .What a genius of improvisation he was !
It's a nice touch. 'Genius' is a complete exaggeration. People REVERE the guy for this simple thing. He was good, not the second coming.
@@WalterLiddy That's because he was the first coming, of himself. It might not seem as great now because acting has advanced since, but he's the one who pioneered it in the first place.
@@immanuelcunt7296 Acting has advanced since??? Woooahh.
While people love the "contender" scene, I think scenes like this display the true talent of Brando. Subtle nuances and small movements make him feel so real.
this is the best scene and don't forget Len Bernstein knows just when to start up the score Bernstein a massive ego still was a true wonder
CP
One reason I put this scene at the top of all brando scenes is that I think he flubbed a line in the "contenduh" scene. Seems like it should have been a re-take after "nobody ever stopped you from talkin charlie". For me this park scene is remarkable - brando brings out the best in Saint. She's fantastic and he's ... Brando!
True, the glove part was improvised.
the glove thing is sheer genius.
@@jahearnca1 Nope, he clearly says "Well, nobody ever stopped you from talkin', Charlie" in that scene.
people don't realise that before this, acting was stiff and theatrical, it was bogart and wayne- hey look at me- I'm acting- I'm sad. this was so naturalistic- it was like such a revelation people didn't know what to make of it- like the first time people saw a painting painted with shadows and perspective- before this- acting was 2dimentisonal like an egyption heiroglyph. brando did something amazing- and all of todays actors are beholden to this performance, Adler and Strasberg- were amazing- but Brando was the vessel that carried all of the philosophy and talent to the screen for it to be seen.
+Loop Set But i have to say.If you watch Charles Laughton before Brando.He was very natural and instictive aswell. Look at him as Quasimodo or Rembrandt or Herny viii.Moments of sheer naturalistic acting imo. They said there was acting before Brando and then acting after Brando.I'd say the same applies to Laughton. Check his monologue as Claudius.Amazing.especially onthe close up
+tom waites but Marlon was much pretty
I thought you were smart until you said Bogart. You haven't a clue. Your entire writing style is the style you criticize. Stiff and phony.
Laughton was doing natural acting LONG before Brando was.
Strassberg is shit
I had read once that the scene he put her glove on was all Brando. He puts on a womens white glove which gives the feeling of being in her shoes, at the same time asking her questions about her. He shows interest in her, what a way to win a womens heart. Elia Kazan thought that brillant, I agree.
That glove! Apparently it was dropped inadvertently and not part of the script. But Brando picks it up and it becomes a metaphor for holding her hand. Pure genius. A great scene in a great film.
Love how much of a lady she is, and her shyness
The sweet and romantic scenes between Marlon Brando and Eva Marie Saint were truly special, I feel. They acted so natural and they had such chemistry all through the film. Even though Brando was not really a romantic in the film, somehow the director managed to make the scenes come across that way. They were touching and intimate.
THIS SCENE is what won Brando the academy award...this scene.
I agree.. Simply beautiful, so naturally played by both
This AND his climatic speech to Johnny Friendly. "I'm glad I did what done to you!!"
"I don't like the country, the crickets make me nervous" Haha, I love that line for some reason. I know what he means.
City boy used to constant street sounds can't handle the country quiet which promotes inner reflection.
+Matt Victor yeah,that line always cracks me up.
+1MRBASSMAN Love the sound of crickets though.
Very evocative line.
As a country man I find it interesting how the opposite happens when I’m in the city. I can’t stand the artificial noise.
Brando is a phenomenon, but Saint really plays off Brando so well. I don't think Brando's Terry would have been as impactful if it weren't for Saint's Edie. Wonderful actors both♡
Great chemistry
Indeed! Eve Marie Saint was there also exchanging with Brando, unscripted and adding much in the way of nuance, body language and pause.
Agreed.
I love how Edie draws Terry, and the audience, closer to her when she gives her remarks about patience and kindness… then Terry snaps himself, and the audience, out of it. Wonderful. "Ahh, what are you kiddin' me?"
"Some people just got faces that stick in your mind.." 💖💖💖💖Marlon!💖⭐💫
To me one of the great scenes in all filmdom.Marlon and Eva getting to know each other.Both top class performances in my favourite film ". I remember you the first moment I saw you "Magical..
+Teddyb193 Love when he tells her at the end to Come On and get going with her.
Remembered*
Brando's acting is just top notch. You see all the little subtle gestures and motions he makes are so real. I don't think he knows he's acting really. I love 2:47, her hair distracts him cause that's probably what it was really doing to him in this scene and he just reacted naturally to it
I thought the same with that eyes movement. Fenomenal acting!
What's funny is that when it cuts back to Edie her hair is back to normal. Wouldn't of caught it if you didn't point that out
C. P. Seriously. 0:42-1:04. Picking up her glove and really picking the grass off of it. Couldn’t have been part of the script
C. P
@@viajandosinpapel Those eye movements are him looking at the cue cards. LOL
The simple idea of him putting the glove on was genius, it gave her reason to stay and him a reason to try and keep her there
it may not be the greatest movie ever made but its certainly a contender
It certainly rated as one of the best movies of all time
It certainly could have been a contender.
Brando's best role.
This doesn’t even feel like a scene from a film. It touches deeper. Its incredible.
"I remember you the first moment I saw you", and suddenly everything changed.
2:22 love that smile...great scene
Still come back to this scene,beautiful acting by greats.
best improv scene ever
+4hotpink10 Yes amazing, the glove was a pure accident, it wasn't meant to fall.
How are u
She deserves credit for being able to live in this moment with him. This is pure theatre.
Brando made an offer she couldn't refuse!!
My favorite movie actor.
love the way he puts her glove on....
Edie is so disarming and completely unaware of her own beauty. When Terry asks to see her again, she is genuinely puzzled and says, "what for?" It is obvious Terry has never met anyone like her.
Heather Smith So do you think a girl likes a man who only likes her looks?
Her laugh is so golden. After all that stonewalling her giving that slight submission is so powerful and plays to their chemistry. It makes the scene so real
Di Caprio, Pitt, Cooper, Depp etc. Look on and weep. This is what true acting genius looks like.
Agree not but not Di Caprio
+Mario Capo He does not come close to
Marlon Brando. Maybe because in part he is effeminate looking to me not masculine at all.
+Alfie Conn Bradley Cooper does not belong on that list. Pitt, Depp and Dicaprio are all a level higher. Not on the level of the all time greats but still higher than Cooper
Marlon Brando is my hero. But the mentioning of the DiCaprio was not on spot. Dicaprio in the wolf of wall street was one of the greatest performances in the history, it was genious
All of those actors are different so it's not a fair assessment, nor could it ever really be. It's all subjective. The first demand is to be good at the craft. The rest is subjective when it comes to who the "best" is. Being GOOD is what matters. This isn't sports.
I have watched this scene over a 1000 times. Every line Brando says is packed with meaning; every gesture tells a whole story; it's not just the famous dropped glove that makes the scene special (though that moment is fantastic); it's everything that Stanislavsky meant when he described as "perezhivanie" - living through the experience of the role. Brando is literally living the role, experiencing it in mind, body, and soul. Eva Marie Saint ain't bad, either.
Wow, Eva was so cute.
Just watching this one scene, you can get a strong sense of the characters and appreciate their depth even if you haven't seen the rest of the film.. That's great acting.
I break most of the Commandments just looking at this clip. My God, Marlon Brando was drop dead gorgeous and very purrrr factor.....Nurse!
Dammit he even makes a swing sexy, the way he sits and is so trying to keep her around. He was kidding her a litte bit but he's had a long standing crush if he remembers all that detail.
one of my favourite movies
+NeoStrike1 It's got it all. I agree.
She just has the face that makes it easy for her to act, express herself.
this scene is so romantic, especially the move with picking up her glove and wearing it, that was a delicate move from him
It’s funny seeing the lady acting all stiff in the traditional style and Brando acting super natural.
I love the way Edie (Eva Marie Saint) keeps motioning and subtly looking at the glove, trying to get it back off Terry....
Kazan said keep rolling. Classic. Heartbreaking.
Elia Kazans masterpiece of directing. ....Marlon Brando’s brilliance in acting , ,
The subtlety is what makes this scene. In the dialogue, the glances the physical gestures to each other. Just a sublime piece of acting from them both. It's amazing that this is Eva Marie Saint's first film role.
Not trivial, one of the great moments of cinema. This is a beautiful film that still stands up.
How I didn't see it before is embarrassing: Sly Stallone constructed Rocky's courting of Adrienne exactly the same. The withdrawn, timid, lovely person is afraid of him and afraid of herself: so she saves him with love, but her also elevates her. He awakens Sleeping Cindererlla. It's beautiful.
Good point, between this, Marty and Somebody Up There Likes Me, Stallone had a lot to draw from
Two summers ago in Hoboken I was in that Park . The Church is still there . I break up watching this scene When Terry shows his profile and talks about his face then Kazan cuts to Eva Saint who says " I remember you the first time I saw you" The Genius, Leonard Bernstein at that moment of tenderness starts his score up..These scenes between Saint( I think its her first film) and Brando tear me up 58 years later
wow he improvised. What a genius.
"Some people, just got faces that stick in your mind.." ❤
Thanks, QueenMeshi, for sharing this ! An exquisite piece of acting and brilliant timing. Can watch it over and over again. Wondered the first time about the glove and was impressed by the detail. Attributed it to Kazan. Then I read your comment. The glove contributes so much and you don´t even have to be a Freudian to think so. :)
Eva Marie Saint is the only woman in this epic movie full of brilliant actors and she more than holds her own ! She is the shining light in all the darkness
Never tire of this scene.
That scene was so good I didn’t want it to end!
Best scene in the whole movie. The amount of emotions in there is incredible!
I had to do this scene in acting class with this guy I didn't know that well, but I just gotta say that we killed it. It actually really cool to see the original scene compared to the one I did
I love the sound of crickets!
So beautifully done. So moving ‘You was really a mess...,
I think she wanted him to give it back.
❤️🎭❤️👍🎭😉Brando is GREAT - always watch his films 👵 at the age of 77 1 /2 yrs old 🎭
one of the most natural organic scenes .
breathtaking! Brando's performance, to this day, stands out as astonishing!
ive read that also. i dont believe in accidents. the scene was very carefully thought out and it is part of the script. the glove is used as symbolism of their budding relationship (hand in hand) in addition terry uses the glove as a way of keeping edie there longer. remember she said she needed to go home.
this scene actually is as good as everyone said. the way he improvises the way he make it seem like a regular conversation is great.she had to think her lines weren't flowing and as natural as his but they did a great job
Natural born talent. A brilliant individual.
Sentí algo muy especial al ver esta escena por primera vez.
They fit together like the gloves they were wearing. Very sweet and natural.
Love this scene. The part with the glove sooooooo clever. I've often wondered if this was Marlon improvising. I think it was. The way he looks at the girl at the end of the scene. Love it
Credit to Kazan too. this wouldn't have happened in a Hitchcock film.
nice. That gaze with the hint of smile
That's real acting....
Boy I miss those days!
What a scene! Epic
"I'm not gonna' bite ya'"
beautiful
I loved this scene.
I don't know if Brando was the greatest actor, but he certainly was one of the most influential. Back in 1954, how many people walked out of the cinema and said, "I want to be an actor!" after scenes like this?
Just brilliant.
Awww this scene reminds me of the Jake and Vicki scene in Raging Bull. Now I see where Scorsese got his influence from.
Love this scene
“I don’t like the country the crickets make me nervous” 😂
this was a wonderful movie
Très bon film,que j'ai acheté il y a quelques années ,j'ai toujours du plaisir à revoir,malgré sa dureté
Brando was a Master. He used that glove in the scene so masterfully.
Wasn't able to "watch", but listened instead. Love Brando's voice!
It said that this scene changed Hollywood acting forever.
I had the great pleasure of working with Eva Marie Saint in Hollywood, when I was just starting out as an actor. She was a very sweet, gentle lady and a huge talent. Of coarse, Brando is a joy to behold..
@Nick Xero I worked with Eva on an episode of the TV series, "Moonlighting" when I was just starting out as an actor. She was a doll to be around. Very genuine lady. All best..
Beautiful accompanying score by Leonard Bernstein.
This one scene is a masterclass in acting.
Now that was cinema! ❤️❤️❤️
Now thats acting.
One of the greatest scenes in movie history. Watch the white glove and listen to the gorgeous love them music by Leonard Bernstein.
2:15 The music is by Leonard Bernstein, the only score that he composed directly for the movies.
Thanks Ashley Says So 😃
Every comment here is right. It is just a masterpiece of timing, acting and dialogue and the cinematography is both superb and unobtrusive.
this scene ... I have no adequate words.
I noticed that too, later found out that Edie wasn't meant to drop the glove, so it was improvised and played well by both parties too. Its awesome how subtle cinema is! You notice those things ;)
The glove scene....superbe improvisation act.
I was in this park in Hoboken 4 years ago its about the same
Church is still there Eva Siants FIRST FILM Amazing
When she asks “what for” and he stops chewing his gum for a second...subtle yet says so much
"...last christmas", white glove.... what an inspiration for future super stars!:)
RIP Marlon Brando (April 3, 1924 - July 1, 2004), aged 80
You will be remembered as a legend.
