From classic Brando to studied Brando this collection runs the gamut. In On The Waterfront it is him against the mob. In an unlikely turn of events he comes out of it bloodied but standing and the docks turn their backs on their benefactors. The culture of corruption and silent desperation is broken and every one gets down to work. In the Wild One he plays a roughneck gang leader who sneers his way through a small town and the whole picture. He respects nothing,but still isn't satisfied. After a showdown he moves on but leaves behind something to remember him by. In The Freshman he spoofs his role as a mafia head and toys with the head of a young college student. A gila monster plays a major role in the high jinks as it terrorizes wherever it goes. It all seems real until the end when the truth is revealed and it was all one big joke. Brando plays his role deftly and with an understated sense of humor. For the price the collection is well worth it.

before he turned into an early days Michael Jackson, Marlon Brando was the greatest actor after Lawrence Olivier, watch these movies and see a great one in action...

This was a Christmas gift for a young man who loves old movies. He was thrilled with these.
