I really wanna thank you for this wonderful tribute. I had tears in my eyes. The "Contender Scene" was the scene when I "fell in love" with this fine actor many years ago... I remember the day he passed away, I was crying all day long.. ;( He is and will always be the best ever! And he'll always be my Nr.1, right afterwards comes Bobby de Niro.. but "MARLON INVENTED ACTING!" I'm glad that I have all of his movies.. I just waited for such a great tribute!

Thank You Again!

I am inspired and impressed by their video of the grand actors Marlon Brando.

The image sequence with the music of Morricone is perfect clarity.

Their review deserves recognition!

It's a first successful work, which should be presented to the audience several times.

I also saw Marlon Brando - (in German) "The Possessed" (One-Eyed Jacks) - a Western, in which Marlon Brando played the lead role. It is the only film in which he also directed.

Congratulations on this excellent work!
