Why Marlon Brando's 1953 Crime Classic Was Banned In The UK For 14 Years

Marlon Brando's lengthy career wasn't without its controversies, and one of his earliest hits from the 1950s was even banned in the United Kingdom for almost 15 years. The Hollywood legend put in work onstage honing his craft for several years before he brought his method acting style to the big screen. It immediately paid off in films like A Streetcar Named Desire and On the Waterfront, where Brando's performance was a far cry from the acting seen in contemporary Hollywood. The actor always strove to bring an element of realism to his works, for better or worse.
