The Rise and Fall of Marlon Brando

Marlon Brando was a huge artistic and commercial box office bonanza in the 1950s. He kept doing it, and he survived. Marilyn Monroe didn't survive; James Dean didn't survive. All these great screen actors from the 50s didn't survive - but there he was. Francis Fort Coppola and Bertolucci both were raised on Marlon Brando movies.
