Fascinating guy. Straight shooter. He's not trying to impress anyone - good for him.

that marlon brando smile tho

Marlon Brando was a renaissance man.  People who were close to him all know that he was well-versed with almost every subject and his intellectual curiosity was unbounded.  He was an avid reader of all subjects.  He was also an acute observer of people and life, which explains why he was such a fantastic actor.  He didn't need to pretend to be an intellectual he was.

Brando is being so openly and candidly subversive towards the media agenda that Dick Cavett is part of, yet to empower his act of sabotage, Brando plays sympathetic to Cavett's predicament of having him as a guest on his show.  Hilarious!!!

Mr. Brando was a class act.

His voice is so soft I could literally fall asleep to it :)

Brando is 100% right.  Cavett tried to combine entertainment with real issues.  A number of interviewers in that time did - Tom Snyder, David Frost, Davis Susskind,....   Forty years later you can't find anyone on television that is allowed to do this.  

Brando is the one person I would have wanted to meet and have a conversation with. It may have been difficult or easy but it would have been fascinating.

I love how brando thinks

what a commanding presence

Quality of Thought; Articulateness; Subtle Wit. These qualities used to be on TV when I was growing up. Where has it gone, why has it gone, and can it ever return?

I thoroughly agree - Marlon was a great human being: should NEVER be forgotten.  He stood out then and will continue to do so.  He will be remembered mostly as a genius at acting, but, for me, he should be remembered for his COURAGE.

I dont think ive ever seen someone pretty much say to an audience "your a bunch of stupid sheep" without them realizing lol

"You incite frankness." That speaks so much about Brando and his acting and him as a soul.

I enjoyed this interview very much and isn't Marlon Brando's smile just lovely, he would have been great company on a one on one....he has a twinkle in his eyes that cannot be overlooked

7:34 I love this part, when Cavett sizes up Brando like he's about to get frisky, then Brando looks at him with that smile and I imagine him thinkin', "I'll bus' you open like a god damn watermelon".

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)

This entire conversation is fucking wonderful, the wryness and duplicity of the actual conversation amidst the levels of implication....just wonderful

among Dick Cavett's many talents - he makes a great clicking noise with his mouth.

what a Presence
