Brando saw no objection pro-jecting sex in the films. In amoment of professional honesty,he saw no reason "why the film-makers should not make filmson sex and scandal". "After all," Ihe argued, "a large number of [newspapers and magazines made .a multi-million dollar Industry Iout of sex and scandal. They •exaggerated sex and incidents tonfe m order to sell."

"The films," Brando thought,-do exactly the same thing." Hesaw no difference between thetwo media of mass communica-tion. He later amended hisstatement by saying that therewere honourable exceptions, ofcourse and that he never meantthat all the photographers ornewspapers were bad.

RESPECT

BRANDO came to Karachisuddenly on Thursday

last on a visit that puts himnow among the few of thefamous screen names whohave donated time andenergy to the cause of thesuffering humanity. LikeDanny Kaye and manyothers, Brando has takentime off his busy shootingschedules and is on a swingacross the globe in searchof famous artistes — sing-ers, dancers, poets, sports-men — who will volunteerto participate in a fantasticventure. It is an interna-tional variety programmeto be held on a giganticscale early next year in theUN General Assembly Hallin order to raise funds forthe poor children of

Having lost twenty-five poundsrecently he showed signs of ageon his well-chiselled face. Bran-do betrayed his boredom withthe make-belief world byrevealing that his "InterestIn films was flagging". After re-tiring from films he wants totake to other things—no televi-sion, no theatre, no showmanshipat all. He wishes to retire andlive In peace after ending hisscreen career.

Brando paid a rare tribute to El,aKazan in whose film, A Street-car Named Desire, he catapultedto fame and riches. He said"Kazan was a great film-maker,a creative artiste In the truesense" and he had "enormousregard and respect for histalents". He also praised TennesaeWilliams as a sensitive writer and"translate-able" on the screen.

He did not like to. commenton the comments of the Britishfilm critics on his latest film. TheCountess from Hong Kong whichwas directed by Charles Chaplin.He advised one should see thefilm for making his own opin-ion. But Chaplin, he added, '•cer-tainly is an artist and a legend:A personality most provocativeand entertaining."

'WAR GAME'Brando showed keen interest

for working In the controversial"War Game" directed by PeterWatkins for BBC but withdrawnunder a directive of the BritishCabinet. It was regarded "too rea-listic, too grim." There was along and interesting discussionabout this film between Brandoand the journalists present.

Marlon Brando has droppedhis earlier plans to make a filmIn Pakistan. He had come herelast year in search of locationsDor the projected film and hadgone upto Peshawar for the same.The film was to be made forworldwide distribution by Univer-sal Pictures and the letter's officehere bad played host to him dur-ing that visit. He did not remem-ber the exact reasons for aban-doning the shooting location InPakistan. But he was certain thatthe film would not be filmed Inthis country.
