That Marlon Brando would also be a good director, I wouldn't have expected, but he's truly a capable artist. While it's his only directorial work, which is definitely a pity, he managed to sell the experiences he had already gathered. An excellent western that likes to focus on the details, which I like. Good story and great characters.
