Marlon Brando's introduction to the big screen in The Men was very promising. Portraying a paraplegic war veteran, Brando's performance, raw and unrefined as it was, was revolutionary in Hollywood at that time and set the course for his iconic career. It was a different performance altogether because it had elements of realism and vulnerability, and he was unlike most of the acting standards of that era. Brando's ability to bring depth and nuance to his characters has been established throughout the history of cinema to make him one of its most influential actors.
