One-Eyed Jacks (1961)
One of the better westerns of that day as well as now....

Although not normally thought so, "One Eyed Jacks" in one of Brando's best works. Maybe because it was a western it didn't get the recognition it deserved. The cinematography was amazing and all else followed from there. It was a subtle, quiet exposition by virtually every actor in the film. The "power' of Brando on screen is unmatched by any other actor living or dead. His confrontation with Ben Johnson, "Get up you tub of guts"! and with that woman abusing cowboy in the bar..."'Get up you scum sucking pig"...felt like a kick in the chest. The anger was tangible.
He did other actually great films that to this day are thought to be mediocre at best. Maybe we'll get to those later.
