Brando lost himself in the character. He was no longer Brando. He was great. I can't watch "Streetcar Named Desire" because his portrayal of Kowalski is too real, too disgusting for me to even watch it. I heard that he went to the Bronx zoo for several weeks and studied the mannerisms of gorillas to help him get into the character. He was the Jimi Hendrix of acting in the 50's.

well the way he broke the norms and pioneered a new era of acting will make him more like the Beethoven of acting, rather than Mozart.

The sweet and romantic scenes between Marlon Brando and Eva Marie Saint were truly special, I feel. They acted so natural and they had such chemistry all through the film. Even though Brando was not really a romantic in the film, somehow the director managed to make the scenes come across that way. They were touching and intimate.

That glove! Apparently it was dropped inadvertently and not part of the script. But Brando picks it up and it becomes a metaphor for holding her hand. Pure genius. A great scene in a great film.

Love how much of a lady she is, and her shyness

While people love the "contender" scene, I think scenes like this display the true talent of Brando. Subtle nuances and small movements make him feel so real.

I had read once that the scene he put her glove on was all Brando. He puts on a womens white glove which gives the feeling of being in her shoes, at the same time asking her questions about her. He shows interest in her, what a way to win a womens heart. Elia Kazan thought that brillant, I agree.

people don't realise that before this, acting was stiff and theatrical, it was bogart and wayne- hey look at me- I'm acting- I'm sad. this was so naturalistic- it was like such a revelation people didn't know what to make of it- like the first time people saw a painting painted with shadows and perspective- before this- acting was 2dimentisonal like an egyption heiroglyph. brando did something amazing- and all of todays actors are beholden to this performance, Adler and Strasberg- were amazing- but Brando was the vessel that carried all of the philosophy and talent to the screen for it to be seen.

Still come back to this scene,beautiful acting by greats.

I have watched this scene over a 1000 times. Every line Brando says is packed with meaning; every gesture tells a whole story; it's not just the famous dropped glove that makes the scene special (though that moment is fantastic); it's everything that Stanislavsky meant when he described as "perezhivanie" - living through the experience of the role. Brando is literally living the role, experiencing it in mind, body, and soul. Eva Marie Saint ain't bad, either.

Just watching this one scene, you can get a strong sense of the characters and appreciate their depth even if you haven't seen the rest of the film.. That's great acting.

Brando made an offer she couldn't refuse!!

I break most of the Commandments just looking at this clip. My God, Marlon Brando was drop dead gorgeous and very purrrr factor.....Nurse!

Her laugh is so golden. After all that stonewalling her giving that slight submission is so powerful and plays to their chemistry. It makes the scene so real

love the way he puts her glove on....

+NeoStrike1 It's got it all. I agree.

Dammit he even makes a swing sexy, the way he sits and is so trying to keep her around. He was kidding her a litte bit but he's had a long standing crush if he remembers all that detail.

She just has the face that makes it easy for her to act, express herself.

The subtlety is what makes this scene. In the dialogue, the glances the physical gestures to each other. Just a sublime piece of acting from them both. It's amazing that this is Eva Marie Saint's first film role.

this scene is so romantic, especially the move with picking up her glove and wearing it, that was a delicate move from him

Not trivial, one of the great moments of cinema. This is a beautiful film that still stands up.

I love the way Edie (Eva Marie Saint) keeps motioning and subtly looking at the glove, trying to get it back off Terry....

Two summers ago in Hoboken I was in that Park . The Church is still there . I break up watching this scene When Terry shows his profile and talks about his face then Kazan cuts to Eva Saint who says " I remember you the first time I saw you" The Genius, Leonard Bernstein at that moment of tenderness starts his score up..These scenes between Saint( I think its her first film) and Brando tear me up 58 years later

She deserves credit for being able to live in this moment with him. This is pure theatre.

How I didn't see it before is embarrassing: Sly Stallone constructed Rocky's courting of Adrienne exactly the same. The withdrawn, timid, lovely person is afraid of him and afraid of herself: so she saves him with love, but her also elevates her. He awakens Sleeping Cindererlla. It's beautiful.

All of those actors are different so it's not a fair assessment, nor could it ever really be. It's all subjective. The first demand is to be good at the craft. The rest is subjective when it comes to who the "best" is. Being GOOD is what matters. This isn't sports.

Edie is so disarming and completely unaware of her own beauty. When Terry asks to see her again, she is genuinely puzzled and says, "what for?" It is obvious Terry has never met anyone like her.

Attributed it to Kazan. Then I read your comment. The glove contributes so much and you don´t even have to be a Freudian to think so. :)

Natural born talent. A brilliant individual.

I don't know if Brando was the greatest actor, but he certainly was one of the most influential. Back in 1954, how many people walked out of the cinema and said, "I want to be an actor!" after scenes like this?

One of the greatest scenes in movie history. Watch the white glove and listen to the gorgeous love them music by Leonard Bernstein.

Très bon film,que j'ai acheté il y a quelques années ,j'ai toujours du plaisir à revoir,malgré sa dureté

They fit together like the gloves they were wearing. Very sweet and natural.

ive read that also. i dont believe in accidents. the scene was very carefully thought out and it is part of the script. the glove is used as symbolism of their budding relationship (hand in hand) in addition terry uses the glove as a way of keeping edie there longer. remember she said she needed to go home.

this scene actually is as good as everyone said. the way he improvises the way he make it seem like a regular conversation is great.she had to think her lines weren't flowing and as natural as his but they did a great job

“I don’t like the country the crickets make me nervous” 😂
