brando’s screen test for ‘rebel without a cause’ (1955, dir. nicholas ray) in 1947.
at the screen test, he wasn’t auditioning for this movie and no offer of any other part was made by the studio at that time.
the movie finally appeared in 1955 with james dean (who died before the movie’s release) in the leading role after a totally new script had been written in the 1950s.
how good would have brando been in this movie, we will never know. *sad face*
