LAST TANGO IN PARIS, 1972
I don't know what that film's about. So much of it was improvised. He [Bertolucci] wanted to do this, to do that. I'd seen his other movie, The Conformist, and I thought he was a man of special talent. And he thought of all kinds of improvisations. He let me do anything. He told me the general area of what he wanted and I tried to produce the words or the action...Some directors don't want you to improvise; they're either too insecure or too inflexible to see the possibilities. They cannnot bear improvisations trapped in unstable egos or, like Bernardo Bertolucci, who has the highest degree of sensitivity and is delicately attuned to the actor, they encourage you to improvise but add nothing to the performance, relying on you to offer your craft to them...

細節
Last Tango In Paris, 1972
A collection of material relating to Last Tango In Paris, including:
- a typescript letter, signed, from Alberto Grimaldi [Producer on Last Tango In Paris] to Marlon Brando, dated 3 November, 1972,on P.E.A. headed stationery, expressing his gratitude I'm sure that you already know the tremendous success that we had at the New York Film Festival with "Last Tango In Paris". There was frequent applause during the showing and at the end a truly gratifyingly long ovation...Once again I would like you to know how much I have appreciated all you have done, beynd that which is normal between an actor, director and producer, and how much your wonderful cooperation and collaboration has meant to our success..., 1p.;
- a typescript letter, signed, from Walter Alford [publicist on Last Tango In Paris] to Marlon Brando, telling him Just a line to say hello, many months after our pleasant association with LAST TANGO in Paris last Winter. I saw Bernardo in Venice just before he left for dubbing with you a week ago...It's very exciting that it's premiering at the New York Film Festival and since it happens on the Festival's closing night, I gather that United Artists will start showing it commercially in New York immediately...I've waited long to see THE GODFATHER, and it finally opens in four theatres in Rome late next week, in one of them in English - most unusual. All the London notices I've read have been great for you...1p.;
