@David Espejo you are a moron. considering the fact that actors are observators of reality, they often have interesting life ideologies. you just are narrow-minded
I love how he nonchalantly says Stevie Wonder gave me this on the plane today... like what? That would have been a whole interview/segment on late night TV today lol.
I wouldn't say that people in general hide their emotions more now than before. Brando was a very unique character and didn't hide his emotions like many other celebrities have and will for many years to come.
Brando was so many great things. 1 thing that really stands out in this interview is: He was truly the king of no Bullshit. Imagine the uproar from the studios, Agency etc etc if 1 of their stars didn't want to plug or talk about movies on a prime time talkshow these days. Brando didn't care. He spoke about what he wanted to. He was a better character than any role he ever played. Even Vito the Godfather. Sinatra and Brando weren't fond of each other at all, but one could call " I did it my way" the soundtrack to Marlon's life.
Brando was an actor of incredible depth. That's why he could perceive the human conditions so keenly, thus acted upon accurately in the roles he portrayed. In his lifetime, he tried to escape to being a movie star or celebrity because of its shallowness. His compassion for American Indian causes were sincere--he devoted a great deal of time and money to them. Marlon Brando--a concerned human being.
Brando - in his own words, said he comes from mostly an Irish background. Slainte Marlon… I love how he's so real in his conversation, and he says "Acting is not an Art, people who think so are misguided. It's just another occupation and way to make a living like an electrician or plumber…". Right on Marlon. All the self absorbed Hollywood ego maniacs will have trouble facing that one...
I think acting is an art, it requires the same type of expressionist behavior as a painter or sculptor, directing is also an art you are creating an art form in this process
Brando made for a terrible guest, but that's what makes this interview so enjoyable. Talk-show hosts hide behind pretense just as much as any actor out there without admitting as much. It seems like Brando tried to strip away some of that pretense in the service of having an honest discussion. I think they got through to each other at certain points, so kudos to both of them for cutting through some of the bullshit that plagues these shows.
I think this might be my favorite Cavett interview because it seems almost uncomfortably honest in a lot of moments throughout the show. It's real when you compare it to the superficiality of most talk shows today.
Since they spoke for 6 hours on the phone prior to the interview, I believe Brando probably made it clear he was there for one thing and he didn't stray. Cavett said it best when Brando wouldn't do the ad, incorruptible. Cavett was a smart man but he didn't get anything over on Brando.
The standing up and rigorous support of the American indian came and went with Brando. I haven't seen anyone fight for change in our attitudes towards them since and it's a shame. Whether this country or that country was more rapacious and cruel at anytime in history doesn't matter, because the focus is on American Indians, and the fact is that this did happen, and will always be an issue pushed into the corner by our leaders and not talked about.
I agree. It sounds like nervous laughter, like they aren't capable of comprehending what Brando is saying. There should have been no audience for this interview.
Marlon was above the everyday dullnes of this world. He was above even the Acadamy and Hollywood. Many stars get swallowed and dance as the hollywood bigshots play. Not Brando. The man was so powerful. He didnt let anyone get in his ways and his character. Thats what i call an uber-mensch. I'm just reading his biography "brando unzipped" and the man was so crazy, he lived his life the way he wants, he was just... bigger than the world.
I agree. I admire Brando greatly. First, he has Hollywood eating out of the palm of his hand as a young star in the 50s. He manages not only to become a successful actor, but THE most successful of his generation, changing the way actors work. Then by the 60s he's labelled box office poison and blamed for Hollywood's demise (with Mutiny on the Bounty, as was Elizabeth Taylor with Cleopatra). He was out of the system. Not many come back after that at all. But by the early 70s he makes the Godfather and Last Tango in Paris back to back, the former the most successful movie ever at that time, the latter probably his best performance ever. He has Hollywood eating out of the palm of his hand again, only more so. By the mid 70s he becomes the highest paid actor ever. All by the sheer force of his genius. And more importantly, always doing as he pleases, saying what he thinks, and not giving a damn about what anyone says.
Marlong was a genius. In spite of how great he was at it, acting was nothing more to him than a way to make a great living in a short amount of time. He is very misunderstood as a person.
Fer Abra Elizabeth did comeback with her best ever performance in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Although after that the Hollywood ageism came into affect. It would have happened to Marilyn Monroe too. The Misfits was probably her best performance and Hollywood didn't overlooked it.
You got that right about Marlon Brando, he was very observant to even the tiniest details. He was literally a genius with a stunning smile & a gorgeous face‼️♥️♥️
A legend he is and still dearly missed. Marlon Brando was deeply aware of all those treaties regarding the native american indians and earned my respect- thanks for this series Mike
Caveat must have felt so silly doing that eye shadow ad...after that exchange with Brando. Brando is being so naughty, so difficult, he wants to talk about Indians and gives Cavett a hard time until he goes there with him. But I thought it was kinda sweet that he gave Cavett compliments after a particularly difficult exchange.
I think some of them might be laughing because hes breaking the 4th wall, speaking his mind. They probably werent expecting Marlon to be so real n deep. Plus theyre probably excited to see him in the flesh and gorgeous and well spoken and stuff. Star struck. Dont ACT like youve never been giddy before.
Am I the only one who is noticing how much Brando and Jim Morrison have in common in terms of intelligence and how they expressed themselves? Jim also had that soft-spoken thoughtful delivery when he was just talking about something, and not on stage.
Man is a legend. Is great to see someone making use of his fame to make the lives of others better.. One of the most interesting interviews i have seen.
Marlon Brando was one of the greatest actors and activists we have seen since the 60's and we need him more than ever now. Mr. Brando was a real human being who had compassion for all people and helped the Native Americans. He boycotted the 1973 Oscars and allowed Sacheen Littlefeather to speak on his behalf while exposing the bad treatment of American Indians in the Movie Industry.Marlon Brando was much more intelligent than his scripts allowed him and was pure Genius. What an interesting life he had and history he left us. Research Marlon Brando. God Bless him! See other interviews by Larry King as well. (Movies: Mutiny of the Bounty, Sayonara, Missouri Breaks, Godfather, etc.. are just a few of his greats)
Yes! Brando wasn't just a great actor, he was highly intelligent! He playing from 10 steps ahead of Cavett, he was also very intelligent. Watching these two spar is very cool.
i used to wait on brando when he came into the restaurant i worked at. he was an amazing man: he loved to laugh and joke, he loved to eat and entertain, and perhaps most of all, he was the most generous soul. that he didn't suffer fools well was but a small aspect of his makeup. god rest your soul, bud...
Marlon was highly intelligent,you can hear that in all his interviews,he was different,he was such person,nobody coud stick in any boxes! Marlon is a very couraged man,this is,what the world needs!
I wished this stupid laughing fr behind would cut off its rediculous! Marlon said the truth but those folks are not interested anyway as Marlon said it right All they wanna hear is gossip trash rumors and other dump stuff!
it's very interesting to see a very honest man in a room of people who needs to clap and laugh because they can't hear the truth he's saying..i love marlon brando.
Brando is so insightful to who Dick Cavett is. Cavett's mentor was Jack Paar and you can see the similarities in style, but Cavett took Paar's style to another level.
Brando has a respect for dick and you can tell in the interview that they are both very genuine and fond of each other Marlon Brando is certainly one of a kind and we will never ever see anyone like this again!!! Pure genius!!
Brando was not only a Great actor but easily could of been a Great comedian as well!!!! Very smart man.....and Great humanitarian....it's no wonder he and Micheal Jackson were good friends...Rip Brando and MJ.........🙏🙏
Joanne Bailey God nothing happened. Maria said she was uncomfortable doing the scene and how she regretted doing it, yet the news made it seem like he raped her on camera. They were good friends.
Watching this interview, I realise that there could have been no finer choice of an actor to play the part of Jor'El, Superman's father. I had no idea he was so intelligent, so aware, and stoic too.
I am so in awe of this man. His looks caught my attention and his mind captivated my soul. He is magnetic. I'd love to know his thoughts on the world today and on this whole pandemic
And saying it because I realize how under the spell we (including myself) have been on the program of the idolization of other human beings. I believe also Marlon Brando saw this.
Roger Clark No. You are the art of manipulation. He has to keep certain things from the media or else he will be destroyed. You don’t understand Real Men.
It took Dick Cavette 36 minutes to ask a meaningful question that illicit end a great response from his guest who was there EXPLICITLY to talk about one issue: the plight of the American Indians. It's difficult for many people today to understand the context of this interview. We have a Jewish owner of a football team and his Tea Party cohorts denying that Native Americans have ever been mistreated. If someone denied the holocaust, they'd be run out of town.
Wow just wow. Have to say that I had no idea that acting for him was just a career. Well I think that any craft that is mastered at a high level is an art. He doesn't give his career as an actor any weight whatsoever. It surprises me that he can perform at such high level when he doesn't seem very passionate about it at all. I suppose his greatest passion is humanity.
+TheMann Washington slaughtered innocent Native American men, women, and children. He was also a slave owner. Nothing even remotely "awesome" about him.
MsPrettypinkpanther8 Hmm.. I don't know about that. He may of done, but from what I've read, he was a kind man, who may have done some things during war time, which is still un-excusable, but from what I've seen, he was a farmer truly, and never wanted to be involved in politics. He seems to be a humble man, but again, this is all based on history, which is written by other people. I never heard he was a slave owner; where did you see that, out of interest?
I feel bad for Cavett because Brando is such an extraordinary human being that simply being within a 50 metre radius of the man must've given you chills.
,Damn this guy was Great, so, so smart and so, so very honest, Brando for President!!!! Like honest Abe, I guess men like this just don't exist anymore, Damn Shame!!!!!! Definitely the Greatest Actor there ever was in more ways than one!!!!!!!!
@reva12 Finally a decent comment..."a cacophonic age" - just perfect. Now on Cable in Portugal I have to suffer the inanities of Jay Leno, Ellen de Generes, Conan, Tyra friggin' Banks etc. Disppointingly all their guests with rare exceptions sell out to the baying whooping audience and the presenters desperate attempts to find the good TV moment.
Brando seems to have had alot of profound thoughts. Which is another mark for his awesome personality. But I feel he fails to choose the right time and place to express those pressing issues. So it doesn't really backs the cause but rather his ego. He can get away with it because he is very charismatic and the dude is somewhat intimidated by him. But It's awkward non the less.
John Wayne's a dork. Brando doesn't sugar coat America's history , some of it's good, but it's got bad in there too. Not saying other countries are perfect, but neither are we.
Mind blowing 'Zen' this man had. He wasn't gonna be Hollywood's show-toy & stood by his beliefs at any cost. Sad the indulgence of being a recluse in luxury led him away from his trumpet of warning to us all. Michael Jackson fell similarly too. I watch Russel Brand sneak very deep truths beneath society's skin of denial & discomfort with ironic ease. I pray we all might stop a second each day to review our own refusal to abide our deepest heart's desire & need to make a better world for all.
He was an actor, but clearly not someone who enjoyed cinema or viewed it as an art(a perspective that could easily be a result of his understanding of the backstage). He had no concern for it, and was simply trying to use his celebrity to focus on an issue that was important to him. If more people were this honest, the world would be a better place. It seems so many people fake so many things, that when someone presents himself completely devoid of fake acts, no one believes it.
I liked this. I have always wondered about the man, Brando. Now I can watch this and, I'm in awe. He was a true talent. I have 3, DeNiro and Pacino and Marlon Brando. Bravo !
I LOVE IT!! He's the greatest actor who REFUSES to talk about his acting in some of the greatest movies!! That is the cool paradox that is Brando and what makes him BRANDO! One and only...an American original!
i "knew" him as someone i would serve occasionally. as someone who loved food, laughter, and interesting conversation. he was generous, funny, wounded, open, guarded, all of those things. we would talk about acting in general terms; he knew i was an actor, something i wouldn't even address, given his stature. talking to him about acting was like talking to michael jordan about basketball: the activity was the same, but you knew his relationship to it was somehow deeper...
Huh? They were living here, we took over, why would that matter? We aren't "from here" either so I guess we're Colonial Americans. The problem is our record on functional coexistence, not the idea of property
I love Dick Cavett's so-called "awkwardness", honestly. He WAS very *real*. I truly believe that he tried to be earnest and candid and identifiable. He was genuinely humble, I believe. He was also really funny and intelligent. He's the best interviewer *I've* ever seen.
You see here why he was such a great actor (and at the end of the 3rd clip). He's very keen on observing human behaviour. To prove his point about how people act in everyday life (implying that anyone can be an actor triggering the short debate from Cavette) he uses Cavette as an example right there on the spot and psychoanalysis him. Cavette jokingly acknowledges Brando's ability to thoroughly analyze. That was an interesting moment to me. He was VERY observant.
Marlon is such a complimentary man. He gives me the impression of someone who easily senses bullshit. And as long as you dont give him bullshit and youre honest with him, and you treat him like a human being, that he'll give you the exact same courtsey. And if you give him bullshit, lies and nonsense he'll have no time for you and will dislike you as a human being.
You know what i admire about marlon when he talks about acting he know when to drop the subject .Anne hathaway could learn a few things lol know when to shut up alot of actors are like that .Go on and on and on about it .
Brando was a real person trapped in an industry devoted to fakery. Huge respect for Brando.
He was so ahead of his time. If he said it today, it would be normal. An intellectual giant.
"It's mostly money orientated, therefore I don't think it has any value", love the way he mumbles out so many gems like that.
Cavett is also very good. It took GREAT COURAGE to "interview" Brando.
Really. Brando is intimidating as hell. Kudos Cavett.
this is a man of depth, unlike most actors
Ridiculous comment. You think the best actors of the last 30 years dont have depth?
@@kevinwilson3609 most do not

cavett is sweating
Brando is a lean mean crushing mashing way ahead of his times raw genuine authentic :)
It is beautiful to watch because it is so natural. Today times everyone hides their emotions.
mehu112 agreed. The audience is very organic, laughing not when their being told. Dick is not a kiss ass but polite.
I wouldn't say that people in general hide their emotions more now than before. Brando was a very unique character and didn't hide his emotions like many other celebrities have and will for many years to come.
I am lucky, because being English, I don't have any emotions.....

Native Americans are not from India, the are AMERICANS
We don't like the image of ourselves, we like the image of how John Wayne see's us.
So true.
Exactly.
I dont understand why the audience is constantly laughing, when serious subjects are being discussed.
I agree. It sounds like nervous laughter, like they aren't capable of comprehending what Brando is saying. There should have been no audience for this interview.
Just made up laughters to zing the show.
Marlon was above the everyday dullnes of this world. He was above even the Acadamy and Hollywood. Many stars get swallowed and dance as the hollywood bigshots play. Not Brando. The man was so powerful. He didnt let anyone get in his ways and his character. Thats what i call an uber-mensch.

Like a horrifying multi-car pileup on the freeway, it's sadly fascinating and difficult to turn away from.
he's an old soul, carrier of high dimensional harmonics and frequencies for the human and soul template that perpetuates humanity
He acts as though He's keeping everything a secret and doesn't want to reveal only what he wants to. That is the art of manipulation .

Now on Cable in Portugal I have to suffer the inanities of Jay Leno, Ellen de Generes, Conan, Tyra friggin' Banks etc. Disppointingly all their guests with rare exceptions sell out to the baying whooping audience and the presenters desperate attempts to find the good TV moment.
Brando was awesome in the Godfather & his passion for Native Americans is beautiful.
ugh he's so beautiful
I literally have to pause every 10 seconds to collect myself and not die of second hand awkward tension
I feel sorry for Cavett. It seems taxing to interview this man.
Brando really analyzes stuff alot..maybe way too much
Brando seems to have had alot of profound thoughts. Which is another mark for his awesome personality. But I feel he fails to choose the right time and place to express those pressing issues. So it doesn't really backs the cause but rather his ego.
He can get away with it because he is very charismatic and the dude is somewhat intimidated by him. But It's awkward non the less.
ya man I agree for sure..he does pick some random moments
+Clark Parker When it comes to being on shows like this, there is never a wrong time/place.
Neither one knew Rosa Parks took that stand in Montgomery, Alabama.
Watched the last parts, loved them, but him nailing Cavett and what he's doing was brilliant. One of a kind human. Damn beautiful man, as well.
John Wayne's a dork. Brando doesn't sugar coat America's history , some of it's good, but it's got bad in there too. Not saying other countries are perfect, but neither are we.
Mind blowing 'Zen' this man had. He wasn't gonna be Hollywood's show-toy & stood by his beliefs at any cost. Sad the indulgence of being a recluse in luxury led him away from his trumpet of warning to us all. Michael Jackson fell similarly too. I watch Russel Brand sneak very deep truths beneath society's skin of denial & discomfort with ironic ease. I pray we all might stop a second each day to review our own refusal to abide our deepest heart's desire & need to make a better world for all.
He was an actor, but clearly not someone who enjoyed cinema or viewed it as an art(a perspective that could easily be a result of his understanding of the backstage).
He had no concern for it, and was simply trying to use his celebrity to focus on an issue that was important to him.
If more people were this honest, the world would be a better place. It seems so many people fake so many things, that when someone presents himself completely devoid of fake acts, no one believes it.
an incredible actor, a smart and open mind along with the sexiest smile i've ever seen! what a legend!
"...it's mostly money oriented and therefore I don't think it has any value..." Classic Brando.
"I'd rather not talk about movies..."
"...did you like the book, 'The Godfather'?"
LOL!
I liked this. I have always wondered about the man, Brando. Now I can watch this and, I'm in awe. He was a true talent. I have 3, DeNiro and Pacino and Marlon Brando. Bravo !
Brando
Deniro
Delewis
Nicholson
Pacino.🙏
I LOVE IT!! He's the greatest actor who REFUSES to talk about his acting in some of the greatest movies!! That is the cool paradox that is Brando and what makes him BRANDO! One and only...an American original!
what he's talking about happened to the Indians is gonna happen to us if we aren't careful
Marlon brando was definitely a interesting fella.
To all haters. You're just envious because he had something to fight for. How about you? What are you haters fighting for?
i "knew" him as someone i would serve occasionally. as someone who loved food, laughter, and interesting conversation. he was generous, funny, wounded, open, guarded, all of those things. we would talk about acting in general terms; he knew i was an actor, something i wouldn't even address, given his stature. talking to him about acting was like talking to michael jordan about basketball: the activity was the same, but you knew his relationship to it was somehow deeper...
I salute you Mr. Brando. Some people choose to not acknowledge it, so you have to speak on it, that be Truth.
that is one beautiful smile!!
This is before we learned they were actually from America. We now call them Native Americans.
Huh? They were living here, we took over, why would that matter? We aren't "from here" either so I guess we're Colonial Americans. The problem is our record on functional coexistence, not the idea of property
storyteller915 You have no sense of humor.
My bad lol, that occurred to me. It's easy to misinterpret via writing. Sorry for givin ya a hard time lol
I love Dick Cavett's so-called "awkwardness", honestly. He WAS very *real*. I truly believe that he tried to be earnest and candid and identifiable. He was genuinely humble, I believe. He was also really funny and intelligent. He's the best interviewer *I've* ever seen.
You see here why he was such a great actor (and at the end of the 3rd clip). He's very keen on observing human behaviour. To prove his point about how people act in everyday life (implying that anyone can be an actor triggering the short debate from Cavette) he uses Cavette as an example right there on the spot and psychoanalysis him. Cavette jokingly acknowledges Brando's ability to thoroughly analyze. That was an interesting moment to me. He was VERY observant.
Marlon is such a complimentary man. He gives me the impression of someone who easily senses bullshit. And as long as you dont give him bullshit and youre honest with him, and you treat him like a human being, that he'll give you the exact same courtsey. And if you give him bullshit, lies and nonsense he'll have no time for you and will dislike you as a human being.
Marlon is adorable
You know what i admire about marlon when he talks about acting he know when to drop the subject .Anne hathaway could learn a few things lol know when to shut up alot of actors are like that .Go on and on and on about it .
He's so respectful to Brando
