Marlon Brando plays a guerilla leader who rose to power during the Mexican Revolution. The powerhouse pairing of director Elia Kazan and author-writer John Steinbeck gives 'VIVA ZAPATA!' a thoughtful introspective tone.

Our Daily Free Stream: Elia Kazan / Marlon Brando - Viva Zapata. Zum Geburtstag von Marlon Brando! Marlon Brando war nicht nur der einflussreichste Schauspieler in der Geschichte Hollywoods, manchmal war er auch einer der ärgerlichsten.

A film that repeats itself over and over again but it is acted well enough despite the non Mexican actors, and interesting enough to watch once.

Oscar win Best Supporting Actor Anthony Quinn 3/5- This is really just standard Anthony Quinn supporting performance. He is good and effective but there is nothing special about his performance either.

Oscar nomination Best Actor Marlon Brando 2/5- Brando here …
