...they both scuffled through a bunch of low budget bike pictures, for a little needling: "Hey, Dernsie, I think you better retire, babe. I got it all covered -know what I mean?" Nicholson has called Dern "my only real competition -you and the guy on the hill" (referring to Marlon Brando, whose home off Los Angeles' Mulholland Drive is directly above Nicholson...
Julius Caesar is the first Shakespeare play that they make you read in high school, but that's not necessarily a reason to dislike it. There are some reasons for disliking the movie version that's coming to the Welles on Sunday. Marlon Brando, who stars as Et Tu Brute, just don't make a good Roman no way.

It's playing with G-Men, a film in which Jimmy Cagney switches from hood to FBI agent. Well, out of the pan and into the fire...
...McKenna's portrayal remains the yardstick for this part, as for Shaw's Saint Joan and others.) The plausibility of confusion between Viola-Cesario and Sebastian is helped here through Donald Warfield's soft, rather womanly portrayal of the brother (a role once played by a 19-year-old Marlon Brando...
