Who knew that Marlon Brando was first considered for the role in Murphy's Romance?

1. Brando was one of the first choices to play Sundance.

4. now, you are pulling my leg...sidewinder

[ohiosmith]

5. Nope. Lemmon declined to film Odd Couple.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

6. Lemmon and Brando as Butch and Sundance ??

:o

don't get me wrong, I love Lemmon and Brando can not be denied but, really, so glad that it ended up being Paul and Bob

and for that matter I can not imagine anyone but Garner being Murphy.

my brain can only bend so much, ya know pardner ;)

7. I agree. Others that were considered for Sundance included Warren Beaty and Steve McQueen.

Makes one wonder, what if?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

8. ah ... Steve

be still my heart. That one could have worked, me thinks. :loveya:

[trof]

9. BC & SK is a western comedy.

So why not cast comic actors?
