"Marlon Brando's part in the movie was so convincingly Oriental, that many theater managers reported moviegoers coming to them and demanding their money back because (to put it simply) Marlon never appeared on screen."

The closest information I can find for a date is that Brando arrived in Tokyo on April 3rd 1956 and then headed to Kyoto for filming (and this candid) on April 8th. I can find no end date for the shoot. Initial release was on November 29th, 1956.

Well, thank you so much for sharing with me your knowledge of autographs. Perhaps I will watermark the image. I am going to look into it.

My pleasure. Steve Cyrkin can pull down that huge scan if you ask him. It is printable...

This is a great piece and it's neat to see it!

Here's an original script from the film that was signed by the Brando and other cast members & associates (some familiar names):

That's a unique item with quite a few autographs. Daniel Mann was a movie director if I am not mistaken. It's very nice.
