Reflections in a Golden Eye

John Huston - 1967 - USA

  • Melodrama based on Carson McCullers' novel, set at a southern military fort.
  • Histrionic method performance by Marlon Brando.
  • Aggressive, stylized sepia/gold tint over entire film.
  • Horses symbolize sexual power. Possible influence on Equus?
  • Photos of Brando in this film were used as the young Col. Kurtz in Apocalypse Now.
