Perhaps you are aware of this Rico but in case you aren't, I thought I'd share this fact with a fellow "One-Eyed Jacks" fan...I just finished Charles Higham's biography of Marlon Brando. Not a great book- but it was a pleasant read and had some interesting facts.
Anyway- Higham writes that Brando's original version of "One Eyed Jacks" was four and a half hours! After a negative response from Producer Frank Rosenberg "that's not a picture, Marlon, it's just an assembly of footage", Brando returned to the cutting room and edited the film to a more manageable length.
Man! I wish I could see that cut extra footage in a Special Features DVD!
