In 1974, screen legend Marlon Brando has made a

dramatic return to form with The Godfather and Last

Tango In Paris. But his family life is crumbling and

his sanity begins to slip away. Only an imagined

dialogue with his best friend, actor Wally Cox, can

soothe the troubled actor and help him pull back from

the brink of self-destruction. Cox, who died over a

year before, is the perfect foil for BrandoÕs drunken

self-pity. Marlon and Wally relive memories of their

Illinois childhood and their years sharing an

apartment in 1950Õs New York. They discuss and

dissect the dilapidation of their friendship in the

Ô60Õs and Ô70Õs, as well as each manÕs career highs

and lows. Politics and pop culture are touched upon

as Marlon conjures another of their famously animated

conversations. Ultimately, the great actor cannot

escape facing his own lesser instincts and taking

responsibility for the repeated cycles of destructive

behavior in his family line. He must also face the

harrowing prospect of what is to come for his children

if he cannot change his ways. Last Tango With Marlon

is a fast, funny, furious exchange that runs the gamut

of human emotion and experience from the acclaimed

writer of The Trial Of Davy Crockett.
