I can't sleep so I thought I might as well post, and watch, a forgotten moment in film history. I can't say this is a great movie or even a very good one but it is the only on-screen pairing of two classic American actors and good friends, Jack Nicholson and Marlon Brando.

The film is "The Missouri Breaks" and stands out for one scene (when Nicholson barges in on Brando in a bubble bath" that Jack said was a humbling experience because no matter what he did, he was upstaged by Marlon. It also is notable for the fact that Brando was really going off of the deep end and demanded that he play the hired gun as a kind of schizo-dresser (he's always the same guy but wears all sorts of different clothes from a dress to a [riest's habit). One last factoid: the bug in the mouth scene was improvised. The director loved it and had Marlon do it for the following takes, something which didn't sit well with Randy Quaid, who wasn't particularly happy about getting a bug stuck in his mouth time and time again.
