Screenplay by : John Steinbeck Cast : MARLON BRANDO, Jean Peters, ANTHONY QUINN - PLOT SUMMARY : The story of Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata, who led a rebellion against the corrupt, oppressive dictatorship of president Porfirio Díaz in the early 20th century. Anthony Quinn won the OSCAR for Best Supporting Actor, and Marlon Brando was nominated for Best Actor, as was, John Steinbeck for Best Screenplay & Story. Total of 5 Academy Award nominations were claimed by the film. BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : Marilyn Monroe tried and failed to obtain a part in this picture, presumably due to Darryl F. Zanuck's lack of faith in her ability, both as an actress and as a box-office draw. Anthony Quinn was very disappointed when Marlon Brando was cast as Emiliano Zapata - he thought that with his Latin appearance, he would have been a better choice. To solve the argument, both actors competed to see which of them could urinate furthest into the Rio Grande. Quinn lost the bet, but he won an Oscar for the best supporting actor as Zapata's brother. Marlon Brando was reportedly involved in a string of stunts during filming. On location in Texas, he shot off a string of firecrackers in a hotel lobby, serenaded Jean Peters from a treetop at three in the morning, horrified cast and crew by playing dead for several minutes following the hail of gunfire that ends Zapata's life, and told visiting reporters that he once ate grasshoppers and gazelle eyes.
