DS, one page, 8.5 x 11, February 28, 1956. MGM document pertaining to Brando's agreement for "the portrayal of the role of 'Sakini' in our photoplay now entitled 'Teahouse of the August Moon.'" The agreement notes that MGM will furnish a 'stand-in' during filming and provide Brando with private dressing rooms while filming in Hollywood. It continues: "In connection with services to be rendered by you under said agreement in Japan, it is our understanding that in Japan they do not have either 'star dressing rooms' or portable dressing rooms as we know them here. We do understand, however, that special dressing room facilities are being prepared for your use at the studio in Japan and we agree, in connection with services to be rendered in Japan, to furnish you with the best dressing room facilities available." Signed at the conclusion in blue ballpoint by Brando and countersigned by a studio vice president. In fine condition, with staple holes and file holes to the top. A comedy satirizing the US occupation of Japan in the aftermath of World War II, The Teahouse of the August Moon—portions of which were shot on-site in Japan—became MGM's biggest box office success of 1956.
