In Reply to: One-Eyed Jacks. posted by Hepcat on February 24, 2004 at 18:05:02:
Kubrick was originally scheduled to direct this and during the weeks of pre-production had many fueds with Brando over content, necessitiatiing a bell which someone would ring when things got out of hand. When producer/star Kirk Douglas fired director Abthony Mann after two weeks of shooting "Spartacus" he hired Kubrick on a weekend's notice so Brando decided to direct OEJ himself.It's too bad that there is still not a high quality DVD of "One Eyed Jacks" (there are two DVDs so far plus a fairly good--for its time--wide screen laserdisc) but someone (Criterion in my dreams) should do a first rate remaster/transfer of this film, which I consider the best western ever made.
As for length, I have read several times that an even longer version exists (in Europe?) which includes scenes of racism and other Brando social commentary.
