Brando is supposed to be a Southerner-though his accent sounds as if it was strained through Stanislavsky's mustache. When he first meets Hana-ogi, he believes that "fraternization is a disgrace to the uniform." But he has to admit that she is "a fahn-lookin' woman," and the color line soon becomes as vague in his mind as the meridian of Greenwich.

I see Thomas Jefferson lookin' out from a cloud and sayin', 'Give him another sockdologer: finish him.' And I see millions of men wavin' their hats and singin', 'Glory Hallelujah...
...even heartache is easier to take than a Saturday night at home in The Bronx. After a while, Marty and his pal Angie (Joe Mantell) ankle over to the Stardust Ballroom to see what's around. "Hey, there's a nice-lookin' short one f'ya," Angie says. Marty asks her for a dance. She says she doesn't feel like it just now, thank you. Marty turns away pale: that's enough of that for one night...
