      Audience Member Who doesn't love looking at Brando? But other than that the movie sucked. There's some entirely unnecessary exploitive nudity at the end too. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review laurent b Nice cinematography, very good actors (especially Brando as usual), but my god the plot is quite flat, and lacks tons of ideas. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Neither great nor terrible this middling thriller has a good cast and some nice location shooting but never really engages the viewer. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Brando says he made this film "for the money", unlike his favorite films. A critical success,the 1968 crime thriller is about a kidnapping of a DuPont. [img]http://bobsegarini.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/geoff-richard-boone.jpg[/img] Richard Boone kidnapping a DuPont I liked the film primarily because of Brando and even more for Richard Boone. Boone brings this casual criminal guy act to the film which betrays how evil he really can be.

In real life, it was his nickname in his family in Omaha and Illinois. 3 Brando thought a movie ought to have a message, especially a caring, thoughtful message about world problems. But he needed the money for his alimony at the time and made movies just for the cash. This movie he made for the cash.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review dave j Tuesday, October 2, 2012 (1969) The Night Of The Following Day THRILLER Marlon Brando and gang intercept and then kidnap wealthy heiress using her as bait to blackmail a specific amount of money from her wealthy father, and instead of working together some are backstabbers or turn against one another with the Brando character being the most sincere character of the group. Despite great performances the end of the movie totally convolutes the entire film. And as a result of the ending I wanted make some sense out of it by listening to the director himself, but the thing is upon listening to him I can barely understand anything he's saying since he's older and speaking in raspy tones therefore, the 'director commentary' needs subtitles since I can't understand what he's talking about as he's talking through it. 2 out of 4 stars Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The movie works on this level as a well-made melodrama. Rated: 3/4 Oct 23, 2004 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy A badly bungled caper yarn. Rated: 2/4 Jun 6, 2021 Full Review Frank J. Avella Edge Media Network The Night of the Following Day is more a curiosity than anything else but worth the sit to watch one of our finest screen actors, Marlon Brando, mesmerize and captivate with so little to work with. Rated: C- May 26, 2021 Full Review Penelope Houston The Spectator Somewhere beneath this wayward surface, a better film may be trying to fight its way out. Jul 11, 2018 Full Review Andrew L. Urban Urban Cinefile It's a terrific role, a sympathetic baddie who has certain standards Dec 20, 2008 Full Review Ken Hanke Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) An often fascinating film -- not good exactly, but never lacking in strange interest -- that features one of Brando's least 'methody' performances. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 11, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews
