With the repeal of the Don't Ask Don't Tell military policy it makes this film scene seem quaint and antiquated...no longer do gays have to sneek around under the cover of darkness to be who they are and that's a good thing. THANK YOU STARSEYEZ FOR POSTING THIS GREAT CLIP!
This is a scene from 1967's "Reflections in a Golden Eye", based on a 1941 novella by the late great Southern writer Carson McCullers (who is probably best known for "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter", & "Member of the Wedding"). This Marlon Brando/Elizabeth Taylor movie was directed by John Huston & filmed mostly in Italy. I've never been able to see the whole thing; it's rarely shown on TV. But it's supposed to contain one of Brando's most subtle performances. Thank you for posting this clip!
This is an exceptional film of Brando's, one that doesn't get the mention it deserves. The part was originally meant for Montgomery Clift, and I wonder how he would have played it. What I didn't realize was how many of Hollywood's actors were gay back then: Clift, Hudson, Burr, Mineo, Mcdowell,etc. ...incredible!
I am glad I got to see this 'example of Gay hollywood'. You of course do realize this is a scripted movie, and Brando is acting? sometimes I think some people are so desperate they become delusional.
But you forget that there was a risk involved it's style is very odd indeed it is Peyton Place in the Twilight Zone - Mc Cullers was America's Thomas Hardy - all love and lovers must die or be killed. The real 1940s in the military were not like this 'scripted movie' or the novel - thank the Lord!
One of the best scene in the film was youtube.com/watch?v=s4_F82CiFUI

I don't why it makes you happy, that someone said, the grates artist of all times is gay?
Is that something that makes you more proud or something?
Imagine it was not the truth, than what?????>>>>

@pebble976 Brando was openly bisexual and boasted of his trysts; where have you been? In denial?
