Of all the movies I've seen in my 60+ years, The Fugitive Kind remains the one example of Brando's genius at a very early age. He takes his time with every line, with expressions that reinforce his enormous acting instincts. To me, he and the movie are near perfect, in mood, direction, and appropriate pacing.

Thank you! The Fugitive Kind is REMARKABLE in all senses. Script by Williams ...Brando, Magnani and Woodward .... Oh Sweet Bird of Youth!

[MrFerdell]

The best actor that ever lived.

@sheriffKane On The Waterfront was five years earlier... and The Men was nine years earlier...

@freedomland11 I just watch this again....RE: 'Mary had a little lamb...' was a Nursery Rhyme and what i meant was although Burton was a fine actor he often delivered his lines like a Nursery Rhyme......Brando was a much more natural actor and tried to find his thoughts like natural people do.

Such a brilliant film!

This movie is so damn underrated. He is so damn sexy in this film, and the movie is one of the most romantic films Ive ever seen.

I'm a dude. But even I can't deny that Marlon was a very good looking guy. He looks like the men from the Greek statues.

But more importantly: he was a brilliant actor. And like Jack Nicholson said, if you can't agree that Marlon was great, I really don't know how to talk to you about movies and acting etc.

@dojufitz Precisely. Brando hated 'acting.' He always strove for naturalism and that meant doing something with a typical scene that no one else had ever done. Not that he succeeded every time. He said to Kazan a few years later, 'I feel like a fraud when I act.' He walked out of Waterfront the first time he saw it thinking he had failed. Somehow, I doubt if he ever saw Fugitive Kind. He felt his acting in Burn was among his best because the character wasn't likeable like Terry Malloy.

everyone's got an opinion. for me, brando in his early films, including this one, is the best. including that overrated sir laurence ;0

@Richard40171 Stewart is great for the breadth of emotions he could portray as in It's a Wonderful Life and for the fact that he was in westerns, comedies, urban dramas, Hitchcock and never seemed to strain to fit in. His greatest single moments may be those closeups in Vertigo where he's fascinated by Kim Novak. As he said in an interview an actor's job was to give the viewer 'moments in time.'
