    When it comes to certain actors, I admit that I have a soft spot. Marlon Brando is one of those actors. I wouldn't say this is a terrible movie by any means, but it's a strange misfire that is as incoherent at times as it is compelling. The directorial vision and the aims of the ...( read more)screenplay are blurry, but it ends up being a fairly satisfying experience anyways. Brando ferociously meshes performance and reality in a sadly underrated piece of acting. This film is worth watching for him alone.

    The Night of the Following Day is a real gem! Brando ,as always, kicks major ass playing a bad guy who's the better of the bad men. Richard Boone plays a very sleazy role.

Fine performances from everyone.
    One of my favorite Brando films!
