Summer Under the Stars: Marlon Brando
TCM, beginning at 6am
Catch a Classic!
It’s hard to think of a more impressive and acclaimed start to a feature film career for an actor than Marlon Brando’s incredible run of productions in the early 1950s, when he immediately earned his place in conversations about greatest actors of all time. Three of those movies — A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), Viva Zapata! (1952) and Julius Caesar (1953), which were just the second, third and fourth big-screen appearances for Brando and garnered him three consecutive Best Actor Oscar nominations — will be airing during today’s 11-title Summer Under the Stars celebration of the icon on Turner Classic Movies. Another Brando classic from that era, The Wild One (1953), is also airing, and while his performance as the rebellious leader of a biker gang in that film did not net him a nomination, it did have a large cultural impact. In ensuing decades, Brando’s career was a bit more hit-or-miss (though when he hit, he really hit), and other films featured today reflect a mix of those productions: Guys and Dolls (1955), The Teahouse of the August Moon (1956), Mutiny on the Bounty (1962), The Chase (1966), the short documentary Meet Marlon Brando (1966), Reflections in a Golden Eye (1967) and The Formula (1980).
