Product Description

A western like no other, One-Eyed Jacks combines the mythological scope of that most American of film genres with the searing naturalism of a performance by Marlon Brando (On the Waterfront, The Fugitive Kind), all suffused with Freudian overtones and male anxiety. In his only directing stint, Brando captures the rugged landscapes of California s Central Coast and Mexico s Sonoran Desert in gorgeous widescreen, Technicolor images, and elicits from his fellow actors (including Karl Malden and Pina Pellicer) nuanced improvisational depictions of conflicted characters. Though overwhelmed by its director s perfectionism and plagued by production setbacks and studio re-editing, One-Eyed Jacks stands as one of Brando s great achievements, thanks above all to his tortured turn as Rio, a bank robber bent on revenge against his one-time partner in crime, the aptly named Dad Longworth (Malden). Brooding and romantic, Rio marks the last, and perhaps the most tender, of the iconic outsiders Brando imbued with such remarkable intensity throughout his career.

There are no good guys in this movie. There are criminals, ex-criminals, a criminal who became a sheriff, and a deputy with a sadistic streak. It's a potentially explosive mixture, and the relentless suspense in the story comes from not knowing who will live and who will die, right up to the final scenes. Along the way there is some love interest between Brando and an unconventionally beautiful young Mexican woman. But mostly it's about guys plotting to steal or kill.

At the same time, the startling location on the California coast near Monterey (unusual in a Western) provides a backdrop of exceptional beauty, alleviating the grimness of male-to-male violence and betrayal. The original VistaVision format apparently used a large negative size, almost equivalent to iMax, so the Blu Ray restoration is beautiful to look at.

According to the bonus features, Brando shot much of the dialogue as improvisation, which gives the dialogue a rough, unusual rhythm. The result is very compelling. It held my attention relentlessly.

Really a masterpiece, and you can see why Scorcese and Spielberg put up the money for its restoration.

Wow! It's about time! First, a bit of History. I first saw this movie, when I was ten, after its general release at an outdoor theater in 1961. Next viewing was on a small black and white television. I copied the film via a video cassette during the early days of HBO on cable. That was as good as it got, watching this brooding film via a VCR on a small 19 inch color screen, and then viewed with an LCD projector on a larger screen

Spring to the future. I had recently observed that One Eyed Jacks was restored, and couldn't believe what I saw. It was as if a partially color blind, myopic, terribly astigmatic individual's sight was restored to normal vision. An outstanding job was done to the restoration of this Western that went to the beat of its own drummer, Marlin Brando, who took over the directorial position from Stanley Kubrick, in Brando's first, and only attempt at directing a film. This is a different type of Western, somewhat along the lines, and perhaps partially responsible for the spaghetti westerns that followed a few years later, where the line between the good guys and the bad was very indistinct.

One Eyed Jacks is a story of betrayal and revenge among thieves, where neither the Brando character Rio, or the Malden character Dad Longworth are without serious fault as human beings. The movie, at times feels like a stage play, and at other times is a display of natural wonders of desert scenes (I believe certain parts were filmed in Death Valley) and the splendor of the California sea coast of the 1880's. The Longworth character has become a sheriff in Monterey, with his days of lawlessness in the past, with the itch that the partner he betrayed might sometime appear. The Rio Character escapes five years of prison after his betrayal, only to be consumed by revenge, and in a sense, Longworth becomes Rio's "white whale" played out on the sea coast of California.

Coincidence causes their paths to cross, each playing cat and mouse with the other. Brando's Rio initially plays as a good natured but misunderstood antagonist, but if one looks closely, he is not remiss to stoop to any level possible, in multiple layers to seek his vengeance. Malden's Dad Longworth knows deep within that his hand will be forced, and when he reacts, it is both savage and without mercy, in regard to his old friend. Brando reportedly shot over eight hours of film, which he whittled down to three hours, and the studio paired about another twenty minutes. The character development in the released product was well done, but one might mistakenly look at the Rio character as more the "hero". One can only wonder what further embellishment of the movies characters would have occurred if the further sequences had not ended up on the cutting room floor.

Supporting cast is also outstanding, including Longworth's wife played by Katy Jurado, and his innocent daughter Pina Pellicer. Brando's laid-back partner, little known Larry Duran, is very believable in his roll, and there is wonderful chemistry between him and Brando. Ben Johnson, one of the other "bad guys" is also excellent as the one who wants to lead, but is incapable of doing so. Slim Pickens, Malden's deputy, also initially comes across as a decent human being, but we are able to observe his true sadistic nature as the film moves on.

Perhaps this film is the original The Good The Bad and The Ugly, all wrapped up in the two leading actors, Brando and Malden. A brooding film records the psychological chess match between these once friends, both actually portraying the title of One Eyed Jacks, where the viewer is able to witness their other side. An incredible film, in its restored glory, which I highly recommend!

As a bonus, a second DVD of about 90 minutes, contains: a short presentation on the restoration by Martin Scorsese; thirty minutes of tape Brando discussion about his ideas for the film, prior to him taking over the helm; another 20-30 minute documentary on the films production history; and a video essay by David Cairns about the technical aspects of the film, including camera angles, scene topics, and inconsistencies which include some pretty respectful humor. A six page essay is also included in the DVD jacket by Howard Hampton that tackles Brando and the film on a philosophical level. Great package to those of us who have always appreciated One Eyed Jacks!

Brando was ambivalent about the result. It took years in the making, there was plenty of turmoil and changing of concept, director assignment (Brando finally decided to direct it himself), personnel, etc. etc. In my opinion, it stands far above the gamut of spaghetti westerns, all I've seen. Brando's character manifests great emotional intensity and intriguing conflicts. Brando handpicked actors he was comfortable working with. It's not perfect, but it is great. The ending is controversial, but I like it. In addition to tremendous dramatic elements, the great cinematography and terrific views are here in Criterion's Blu Ray treatment.

This is a great film; a far better western than 90% of the westerns made during a period when every other picture produced was ..a western. It has even been called a stylish precursor to the spaghetti-westerns that would soon come along; but it beats nearly all of those, too. Marlon Brando was, as it turned out, a talented director as well as a top- drawer actor; unfortunately he only saw fit to fill both slots just this one time. Ok? Blah,..blah, ..blah. - Now, be careful when you buy this. Sadly, you can't even get it from the people (named after a river in South America; or a rainforest the Trumps & their a-lickers have decided we can do without) with confidence, anymore. They show me as having bought it 3 times; I bought it once but am still waiting for my 3rd attempt at a decent copy to be delivered. The first they sent me was not NEW, as I'd paid for, but an obviously repackaged return from someone else, which they were trying to ditch with me. I called for a return/replacement, only to receive one with a post-it marked in ballpoint "DEFECTIVE" left inside their half-@$$ed attempt at re-shrink-wrapping. I didn't even know you had to take an IQ test to work for this company; I wonder how low you have to score to make the cut.

WARNING: NO SUB-TITLES! I would give this blu-ray 5 stars and in fact, it deserves such, but Amazon mistakenly has it listed as having English sub-titles, there are in fact no sub-titles in any language. Younger folks will not mind such, but for us oldies, sub-titles or the lack thereof, is a huge issue. I do not believe Amazon was intending to deceive, Criterion does not advertise this restoration with sub-titles, only Amazon in its description, advertises this blu-ray and DVD as having them. All other production values are excellent, thanks to Spielberg and Scorsese for restoring this classic Brando film. Color and resolution really pops and the restoration is miles ahead of previous cheap DVD's.

Reviewed in Canada on December 22, 2016
Since the first time I saw "One-Eyed Jacks" many years ago, it has been, and still remains, my favorite Western, and one of my all-time favorite movies. Despite the infamous production delays and budget overruns during filming, I believe Marlon Brando did a marvelous job directing this movie and I wish he could have directed more. The story, the dialogue, the acting, the locations, the pacing, etc. are all excellent. And the restoration is nothing short of amazing! The film looks incredible, as though it was filmed yesterday -- the images are crystal clear, the colors are deep and vibrant, the soundtrack is pristine. Kudos to The Criterion Collection for giving this unjustly maligned and underrated work of art the treatment it so richly deserves.
