[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 264640, member: 7"] [JUSTIFY][FONT=georgia]When I think of Marlon Brando, I think of two things: first I think of how Ricky fancied himself a peer of Brando's in an episode of I LOVE LUCY, and second I think about Frank Sinatra calling him "mumbles". Brando and Sinatra co-starred together in GUYS AND DOLLS, and they were not close. Rumors abound that they feuded (using that term loosely) on the set of the picture.

Do you have any favorite movies of his and suggestions as to where I should start? [/FONT] [/JUSTIFY] [CENTER][FONT=georgia][ATTACH type="full" width="427px"]26280[/ATTACH][/FONT][/CENTER] [/QUOTE]
