"""Brimming with colorful anecdotes and details... a wonderfully cohesive work about Brando, both as an actor and a man."" -- Publishers Weekly ""[Mizruchi is] the first to have access to Brando's private archives, including his extensive library, film archives and research materials... Fascinating."" -- Tom Shone - Atlantic ""To understand the complete Brando...any future biographer will now have to take account of Mizruchi's Brando as well-to somehow square the lover and the sensualist with the critical thinker."" -- Julia M. Klein - Boston Globe ""Renowned cultural scholar Susan L. Mizruchi explores the Brando that was not visible to the world in order to better understand the one that was-a Brando that was independent of the public persona and often at odds with it."" -- Examiner ""The most amazing restoration work on an artist's image that I've ever seen."" -- Greg Carpenter - Sequart Magazine"
