The actor by which all others will forever be judged....and the only one who could have properly played The Judge in any film adaptation of Blood Meridian. (I'm convinced Cormac McCarthy had Brando in mind when he wrote the character.) People always joked about Marlon Brando (in fact, as a child I saw him parodied by television comics long before I had any idea who he was), because when you're that great, it's what people do. He was riveting even in the poorer films, even in the outright stinkers, searing in the great ones. And let's state the obvious: he and Vivien Leigh in A Streetcar Named Desire give the best paired performances in movie history. So fire up the DVD player tonight, soil up your undershirt, and drink a toast to an American son.
