This is an interesting curio in Brando's filmography, written by Tennesse Wiliams and directed by Sidney Lumet, you'd expect this to be an absolutely dynamite but instead, it's a quietly intense film. Brando mumbles his way through the film, at times he seems lost in his own thoughts, he's good but the film really belongs to Anna Magnani and Joanne Woodward, both female characters are strong, independent female characters but still retain that weakness that exists in most of William's female characters.
Anna is fiery and emotional, she has such an amazing intensity, Woodward in contrast is a dynamo of a different, just a mess of emotions she doesn't understand.
Lumet's direction is understated but not boringm it's worth checking out.
