One-Eyed Jacks (1961): Good and Evil is in the Cards
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Sep 18, 2021
One-Eyed Jacks acts as a bit of an anomaly. It was originally meant to be helmed by Stanley Kubrick. Instead, Marlon Brando himself oversaw direction — his one and only time in the director’s chair. The results are as vibrant and totally Brando as they are messy, devolving into somethin read more

The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 24, 2015
This week’s video offering is another one from the archives. It’s a rather unusual trailer for Marlon Brando‘s sole directorial effort, One-Eyed Jacks (1961). It differs from most trailers in that it mixes stills with film footage, and in its length (almost 5 minutes). Naturally, read more

Here is a rarely seen promo still from that latter film that I received from friend of the blog Toby Roan, author of the forthcoming A Mil read more

Video of the Week: “One-Eyed Jacks” trailer
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Sep 19, 2012
Our video of the week is an unusual trailer for One-Eyed Jacks (1961) that utilizes stills mixed with actual shots from the film. It’s fairly long for a trailer too, clocking in at nearly 5 minutes. Timothy’s big fight with Marlon Brando is, of course, a major highlight. Many thanks to T read more

See what was going on in that still I posted a few days ago! Marlon Brando‘s only directorial effort, One-Eyed Jacks (1961), features the following great scene between himself, Tim and Margarita Cordova. “You get up, you big tub of guts.” Nice. You know what’s strange about T read more
Pic of the Day: “One-Eyed Jacks”
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Aug 20, 2011
My latest eBay score! One-Eyed Jacks (1961) was Marlon Brando’s directorial debut. The film was originally slated to be directed by Stanley Kubrick. Tim is quite memorable as drunken louse Howard Tetley, seen here manhandling poor Margarita Cordova after shoving her face into a bowl of chili. read more

Movie buffs and Western fans will want to check out Marlon Brando’s flawed, overlong—but always interesting—directorial effort. Brando took over the reins after getting Stanley Kubrick fired as director. It was a rocky production, according to most sources, with an ever-changing s read more
