Marlon Brando? He got paid a fortune based on his reputation from the
1950s, but this isn't Terry Malloy and it sure as hell ain't Stanley

voiceover scenes. He seemed to have made more of an effort. Did he care
about the quality of the movie?
 
By the mid '70s, wasn't it clear that Brando, based on his past
reputation alone, wasn't bringing in the kind of audience that justified
his salary?

No. They financed the movie based on the fact that Brando was in it. It
wouldn't exist without him. So he was worth everything they paid him.

Did Brando get paid? The S's had a bad rep for not paying people and keeping
a step ahead of bill collectors.
