THE MEN (1950)
Marlon Brando makes his stellar screen debut in this powerful drama from Academy Award-winning director Fred Zinnemann (High Noon), written by Carl Foreman (The Guns of Navarone), and produced by Stanley Kramer (On The Beach).
Ken Wilocek, a young infantry lieutenant, is left paralysed from the waist down by a sniper’s bullet in the final days of World War II. Embittered and withdrawn in the paraplegic ward of a veterans’ hospital, Ken refuses to see his devoted fiancée Ellen - until a straight-talking doctor and his fellow patients begin the long, painful work of pulling him back to life.
Teresa Wright (The Best Years of Our Lives), Everett Sloane (Citizen Kane), and Jack Webb (Dragnet) star alongside Brando, as do dozens of real paraplegic veterans - patients of the very ward where Brando famously lived for a month to prepare for the role, and filming took place.
