movie called Fugitive Kind with Anna Magnani, arguably one of the most dynamic actresses ever in the history of time. and Brando, who, for my money and a lot of people's money, has changed the whole game, and there ain't nobody like him. Nobody inventive physically in a room.

Nobody, even my wife or her generous, goes, okay, this sexiest guy, no matter if he's overweight or not, the stuff he comes up with and invents. Okay, he was asked to do the play with Anna Magnani. He didn't do it. It's the first play Tennessee Williams writes in 1940. It never gets published as a play until 1958 or something like that.

Sidney Lumet comes back and does it with Tennessee's original idea of a play with Brando and Anna Magnani as a film. And Brando and Anna Magnani are, there is no dynamic more powerful than them. This is the most dynamic, powerful, and she's not like the bee's knees good-looking chick. But a force of nature. And Brando is ethereal. And as Kazan said, Brando is a woman walking around in a man suit.

But his whole vibe, he said his power, Kazan said it, Kazan is essentially the guy that put him on a map, it's feminine. At the studio, Kazan, I come into the actor's studio, I ask him one time, what do you mean by that? He says it is feminine. He says, you see this cliche of him and a wife beater screaming Stella. And this is before VHS and all that stuff. You see it again. He's whining.
