NEW YORK (Reuters) - A new documentary about Marlon Brando
shows he still mesmerizes fans who remember his range and raw
emotion during a stunning career that saw him evolve from sex
symbol to political activist to obese recluse.

"Brando," premiering at New York's Tribeca Film Festival,
argues he remains the standard against whom actors are measured
three years after his death and 60 years after he wowed
Broadway with his performance in "A Streetcar Named Desire."

Cinema greats such as director
Martin Scorsese
and actor
Al Pacino
appear in the documentary, still awed by a career that
includes Brando's portrayal of sexy, volatile Stanley Kowalski
in "Streetcar," and his later days as obese recluse.

Many of the 54 celebrities, childhood friends and relatives
interviewed remain fascinated by Brando's range, subtlety and
raw emotion.

"Brando" will air in two parts on TV's Turner Classic
Movies May 1-2.
