MGM document by which the studio sends Brando a "check for Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00)…Said sum constitutes an advance to you of compensation for services to be rendered by you in 'Teahouse of the August Moon.' Said advance is made to you upon the understanding and agreement that until such time as said advance shall have been fully repaid to us from compensation payable to you in connection with 'Teahouse of the August Moon,' said sum shall be and be deemed to be a loan." Signed at the conclusion in fountain pen 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 became MGM's biggest box office success of 1956.
