DS in French, one page, 8.25 x 11.5, October 21, 1972. An untranslated memorandum of understanding between Brando and Mr. Taputuarai regarding a house that the latter is to build for Brando. In fine condition, with expected document wear. The document is related to Brando’s construction of a village on his private Tahitian island called Teti’aroa, and mentions the architect, Bernard Judge, in the second to last article. Brando had ‘discovered’ and fallen in love with Teti'aroa in 1960 while scouting for locations to film Mutiny on the Bounty, and was able to purchase it in 1966. Beginning in 1970, Brando built a village that included 12 simple bungalows, a kitchen hut, dining hall and bar, all built from environmentally friendly local materials.
