Movie Haiku:If you’ve only heard countless mimics mutter “I cuddah been a contendah,” you’re in for a revelation when you finally hear Brando’s full speech. This film is the pinnacle of Elia Kazan’s distinguished career. Complex ideas have never been presented with more forceful clarity. Kazan deserved his Lifetime Achievement Oscar.
