1962 Saturday Evening Post Quote
 

June 16. 1962

"was in
its eleventh month of production after thirteen
months of preparation—a total creative endeavor
that surpassed, in time, the gestation period of an
elephant. Three members of the company had
died; a Tahitian girl had been fired from the cast
for becoming pregnant, but was rehired long after
she had had her baby; another Tahitian actress,
the second female lead, married a French soldier
and moved to Algeria during the interminable
filming, necessitating the total excision of her part
from the picture."

They don't mention seven different scripts. Monsoons. Of course, Brando got most of the blame. Luckily, we have archives. Unfortunately, many revisionists are at work. Now the only time you hear about Brando is when some community wants him to be theirs.
