@oldclassicslove: 🎥😂🔥Reflections in a Golden Eye" Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando 1967.. The role of Major Penderton was physically demanding. Thus, the insurance company underwriting the production required proof that Montgomery Clift - the original choice for the role - was fit enough for the role after his years of illness. Clift's long-time friend Dame Elizabeth Taylor committed her large salary as insurance in order to secure Clift for the role. However, Clift subsequently died of a heart attack before filming began, and the role went to Marlon Brando. In the Turner Classic Movies documentary on Marlon Brando, Martin Scorsese talks about the scene in which Brando stands in front of a mirror talking to himself as he inspects his dress uniform. He says that it inspired the infamous "Are you talkin' to me?" moment with Robert De Niro for Taxi Driver (1976). #elizabethtaylor #marlonbrando #oldhollywood #classicmovies
