The Appaloosa (1966)
Marlon Brando as a German? Absolutely. Japanese – completely. Irish: pretty good. As an Englishman, maybe. As a Mexican – not at all. If you didn’t like his performance in Viva Zapata, you won’t like him as a half-Mexican in The Appaloosa.
I liked the beginning sequence as Marlon is reunited with a dear friend, Rafael Campos, and his family. There’s a tender reunion and a nice introduction to Rafael’s children. But when Marlon gets beaten up, humiliated, and robbed of is horse by a mean-spirited bandit, Marlon leaves his friend on a search for vengeance. The rest of the movie is a slow-paced drag through little villages and bars as Marlon dons a “disguise” by patting his face (but not his ears) with wet coffee grounds and affecting an accent.
If you do like this one, check out Marlon’s One-Eyed Jacks, a similarly slow western. He directed that one, and you can tell he put his heart into it.
