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 indignant younger man has come from a guide in regards to 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 experiences that Hank Kaufman and Gene Lerner moved to the Italian capital in 1953 and shortly befriended visiting stars. Their memoir Hollywood on the Tiber was printed in Italian in 1982, and an English translation is now due for launch.
The newspaper consists of 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 are feeling like a goddam freak in a sideshow. Why didn’t anyone put together me?”
In accordance with the guide, Brando went to a close-by bar and was persuaded to return to the cinema in time for the tip of the movie, whereupon he stood up acknowledging the shouts of untamed applause that greeted his efficiency.
The memoir can be printed subsequent week in English for the primary time by Paul Cronin, writer with Sticking Place Books, advised The Guardian that the memoir, to be printed subsequent week, reads like “La Dolce Vita meets Name My Agent!’”
