Beginning with Brando’s turbulent childhood, Kanfer follows him to New York where he made his star-making Broadway debut as Stanley Kowalski in \u003ci\u003eA Streetcar Named Desire\u003c\/i\u003e at age twenty-three.  Brando then decamped for Hollywood, and Kanfer looks at each of Brando’s films over the years—from \u003ci\u003eThe Men\u003c\/i\u003e in 1950 to \u003ci\u003eThe Score\u003c\/i\u003e in 2001—offering deft and insightful analysis of his sometimes brilliant, sometimes baffling performances.  And, finally, Kanfer brings into focus Brando’s self-destructiveness, ambivalence toward his craft, and the tragedies that shadowed his last years.","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43412825899263,"sku":"9781400078042","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781400078042_s600x595.jpg?v=1775599160","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781400078042","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
