The difference between infinity and reality? They are mutually exclusive. |

Sinatra couldn't stand Brando. He called him Mumbles because he was always fumbling his lines. Brando was incapable of memorizing, so they wrote his lines everywhere. Any time you see Brando speak in a movie, he's reading the line off a cue card, or the ceiling, or even the back of his hand. And he couldn't sing.

If anybody is familiar with the show "Forbidden Broadway" (in any of its incarnations), the writer and his producer team did an ill-fated production called "Forbidden Hollywood." (I believe there was also a "Forbidden Las Vegas" at one time). Basically they take songs from shows, or in this case, movies and parody them. One of the tracks was a parody of "You'll Know" from Guys and Dolls, which had "Marlon Brando," portrayed by Jason Graae, singing the ENTIRE SONG OFF KEY! For a good singer, this is THE toughest thing to do. By the way, if anybody can find a copy of this, let me know. It's still one of my favorites, as the talent on that cast album was the best of all.

In the opening scene in his office, he looks up a lot because lines are written on the ceiling. Once they had to be written on a billboard, in The Wild One, I think. Brando was a good actor, but somewhat of a mental midget.
