Stanley Kubrick was fired by subsequent director/star Marlon Brando during the   filming of this neo-classicist Western that deals with familiar themes of        betrayal, dislocation and alienation. Brando is Johnny Rio, betrayed by his      best friend (Karl Malden); Malden's exploitation of Monterey and forced        lock-up of Brando sets the stage for their obsessive hate, which concludes     this densely beautiful film.                                                   Marlon Brando---USA---1961---141 mins.
