“Brando,” TCM Original Documentary, Debuts On DVD From Warner Home Video October 9
(June 11, 2007 - Burbank, CA) — DVD enthusiasts will have a chance to discover the enigma and genius behind one of the greatest actors of the 20th century when Warner Home Video debuts "Brando," the new documentary straight from its successful May premiere on Turner Classic Movies. The 2-disc DVD streets October 9 at $19.97 SRP. Pre-book date is September 4, 2007.
This critically-acclaimed film pieces together decades of Brando’s performances with rare, never-before-seen footage and a series of original, in-depth interviews with family members, childhood friends and a host of his Hollywood peers and co-stars, including Johnny Depp, Robert Duvall, Jane Fonda, Dennis Hopper, Edward Norton, Al Pacino, Sean Penn, Martin Scorsese, John Travolta and Jon Voight. The result is a captivating look at one of the most legendary talents of the 20th century. Variety’s Brian Lowry called the documentary, "an engrossing, painstakingly thorough portrait of the actor's tumultuous life… a general paean to acting, with Brando as a defining practitioner of that craft."
Brando was produced by Leslie Grief, Mimi Freedman, and Joanne Rubino for The Greif Company (“Steve McQueen: The Essence of Cool”), in association with Turner Classic Movies.
