In his personal life legend has it that Brando was a complete sexual freak who tried everything, including man-on-man action. Somewhere I used to have an infamous photo from the 50s, supposedly of him, in profile sucking a big dick. When I saw it I was convinced. If it wasn't him it was an exact replica-clone. (one can dream, right?)
"A Streetcar Named Desire" is one of my favorite films. But you MUST see Brando in John Huston's 60s cult classic "Reflections in a Golden Eye" in which he plays an impotent, deeply closeted military commander past his prime obsessed with a beautiful young soldier. It's based on a Carson McCullers novella and Elizabeth Taylor co-stars as his domineering wife, so right out of the starting gate you know it's sick and perverse in that uniquely Southern way! Brian Keith appears as Taylor's ultra-butch neighbor and lover, and Julie Harris does an interesting turn as Keith's wife who has her own flaming Filipino houseboy mincing around throughout the movie. Bizarre and gorgeous with a stunning ending!
