BRANDO A LIFE IN OUR TIMES by Richard Schnickel
Presenting a portrait of Marlon Brando, the author offers a critique of Brando's personal style and attempts to define and explore his charisma. This book provides an insight into the actor's influence over a generation and assesses the reasons behind his becoming a symbolic figure. His behaviour and attitudes still cause controversy today and this portrait of an actor is illustrated throughout with stills from the Kobal collection, highlighting Brando's potent image which must take much of the credit for his unprecedented influence.
