Martin Scorsese on 'One-Eyed Jacks' | NYFF54

Martin Scorsese introduced a screening of Marlon Brando's sole directorial effort, 'One-Eyed Jacks' (1961), during the 54th New York Film Festival. He and Steven Spielberg recently oversaw a restoration of the film, which is now playing at Film Forum.

The only film directed by Marlon Brando, an adaptation of Charles Neider’s novel (inspired by the life of Billy the Kid), is an unorthodox western that’s as fresh, unpredictable, and physical as Brando’s lead performance. This visually stunning production—the last Paramount film shot in VistaVision—could for many years be seen only in substandard public domain prints and discs. It has now been beautifully restored by Universal, with the support of The Film Foundation, and under the supervision of Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg. The formidable cast includes Karl Malden, Katy Jurado, Slim Pickens, Ben Johnson, Timothy Carey, Elisha Cook Jr., and the wonderful Mexican actress Pina Pellicer.
