Not only did Brando have a shy willy, but he often came to the set unprepared.

He wrote in his autobiography "Brando: Songs My Mother Taught Me", the reason he did not do a full frontal nude scene was because his, "penis shrank to the size of a peanut on set". Have been like showing me naked." Brando's explanation is much funnier. Bertolucci has stated that he filmed a scene of Brando doing the full monty but never used it, explaining, "I had so identified myself withīrando that I cut it out of shame for myself. Maria Schneider is nude in many scenes, going full frontal with her 70's bush on proud display. Little did I know at the time, but that was the films official release in Italy as it had been banned up until then, even though it is the home country of director Bernardo Bertolucci.įor the time, Last Tango in Paris was a shocking film due to its blunt depiction of casual sex. I smiled to think that they were showing an older film.

In 1987, while living in Italy, I remember walking through a piazza and coming across a movie poster for Ultimo Tango A Parigi, playing in the local cinema. Marlon Brando and Maris Schneider doing the infamous butter scene in Last Tango in Paris
