    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Marlon Brando insisted on getting drunk to film a scene in which he was supposed to act drunk, but he got too drunk to act or direct and so he insisted on repeating the process another day. Again he got too drunk to direct or act.
    • Goofs
      After 5 years in a 19th-century Mexican jail, Marlon Brando looks like the food there was Cordon Bleu. Not only does he not look worse for wear, but he even looks a little better than before he was incarcerated. Modern actors would have lost 30 pounds.

    a masterpiece
    This movie gets better with every viewing. Another poster said that Karl Malden plays sinister very well--also check out "Nevada Smith" for the same type of performance. Although Brando is "Brando" so to speak, I think that his direction of the movie ie underrated. It is a much better western, or movie for that matter, than it is credited for.
