DS, signed “Marlon Brando,” one page, 8.5 x 11, March 1, 1976. Agreement between Brando and Coppola Cinema Seven, in part: "Reference is hereby made to that certain agreement dated as of March 1, 1976, by and between you and Colony Productions…with respect to my services in the motion picture entitled 'Apocalypse Now.' This will acknowledge that I have read the Employment Agreement and am familiar with all of the terms, covenants and conditions thereof. In order to induce you to enter into the Employment Agreement, I hereby…Guarantee to you the full and faithful performance of each and every term, covenant and condition therein undertaken…Agree to do and perform each and every term, covenant, condition and act which I may be called upon to perform pursuant thereto…and agree to look solely to Colony Productions Inc. for the payment of any compensation payable to me thereunder." In very good condition, with overall creasing, staple holes to the upper left corner, a small bit of edge loss, and a stain to the lower left corner. Brando was infamously difficult to work with during the production of Apocalypse Now—he arrived overweight, having learned none of his lines—yet turned in a brilliant performance as the maniacal Colonel Kurtz.
