TCM Greatest Classic Films Collection Legends - Marlon Brando A Streetcar Named Desire / Julius Caesar / The Teahouse of the August Moon / Reflections in a Golden Eye Actor: Marlon Brando Genres: Drama NR     2011 Turner Classic Movies' Greatest Classic Films Collection: Marlon Brando collects four movies on two double-sided discs. Breakthrough performances don't come much more electrifying than Brando's animalistic turn as Stanley...  more » Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire. Sweaty, brutish, mumbling, yet with the balanced grace of a prizefighter, Brando storms through the role--a role he had originated in the Broadway production of Tennessee Williams's celebrated play. Some naysayers doubted Brando, he of the Method and mumbles, could do Shakespeare justice, but he acquits himself impressively as Mark Antony in Joseph Mankiewicz's stellar adaptation of Julius Caesar. Though now dicey from a PC standpoint, Brando, unlike Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's, rises above grotesque caricature as a wily Japanese interpreter in The Teahouse of the August Moon, one of his rare forays into comedy. John Huston's Reflections in a Golden Eye teams Brando with another screen icon, Elizabeth Taylor, in a nasty piece of Southern gothic about sordid doings on a military base. Brando portrays a latent homosexual fixated on young soldier Robert Forrter, who has a penchant for naked horseback riding and sneaking into Taylor's room while she sleeps to fondle her clothing. --Robert Horton and Donald Liebenson  « less
