Marlon Brando was so enraged on the Italian premiere of his movie On The Waterfront, he walked out of the cinema the place he was the star visitor.
The perception into the fury of cinema’s legendary offended younger man has come from a guide concerning the 1950’s Italian movie trade by an American couple residing in Rome on the time and mixing in glamorous film trade circles.
The Guardian reports that Hank Kaufman and Gene Lerner moved to the Italian capital in 1953 and soon befriended visiting stars. Their memoir Hollywood on the Tiber was revealed in Italian in 1982, and an English translation is now due for launch.
The newspaper includes the story of how Brando was enraged to find his voice had been dubbed by an Italian actor for the native model. His agent recalled him “staggering up from his seat as if from a coronary heart assault, whispering: Get me out of right here! I’m an actor, not a ventriloquist’s dummy… You’re feeling like a goddam freak in a sideshow. Why didn’t any individual put together me?”
Based on the guide, Brando went to a close-by bar and was persuaded to return to the cinema in time for the top of the movie, whereupon he stood up acknowledging the shouts of untamed applause that greeted his efficiency.
The memoir will probably be revealed subsequent week in English for the primary time by Paul Cronin, writer with Sticking Place Books, informed The Guardian that the memoir, to be revealed subsequent week, reads like “La Dolce Vita meets Name My Agent!’”
