Marlon Brando, Karl Malden, Katy Jurado and introducing Pina Pellicer.

"This is a western like no other, combining the mythological scope of that most American of genres with the searing naturalism of a performance by Marlon Brandoall suffused with Freudian overtones and masculine anxiety. In his only directing stint, Brando captures rugged coastal and desert landscapes in gorgeous widescreen, Technicolor images, and elicits from his fellow actors (including Karl Malden and Pina Pellicer) nuanced depictions of conflicted characters. Though the production was overwhelmed by its directors perfectionism and plagued by setbacks and studio reediting, One-Eyed Jacks stands as one of Brandos great achievements, thanks above all to his d turn as Rio, a bank robber bent on revenge against his former partner in crime. Brooding and romantic, Rio is the last and perhaps the most tender of the iconic outsiders that the great actor imbued with such intensity throughout his career."--Container.
