One-Eyed Jacks in 4K

In person: actor Peter Weller

Marlon Brando took on his only feature directing project—following the last-minute departure of original director Stanley Kubrick—with this character-oriented Western about a bank robber who tracks down a friend (frequent Brando co-star Karl Malden) who betrayed him. The Academy Award–nominated VistaVision color cinematography by Charles Lang Jr. (How the West Was Won,1962) makes strong use of scenic locations in Mexico and California, with vivid imagery of Brando riding his horse along the Monterey coastline. Until 2024, One-Eyed Jacks was the final film shot with the VistaVision process.
