Marlon Brando’s improvised monologue in *Apocalypse Now*

While working on *Apocalypse Now*, Marlon Brando improvised some of Colonel Kurtz’s dialogue. According to an account citing Peter Manso’s biography, Brando delivered about eighteen minutes of improvised material, of which roughly two minutes made the final cut. These exact figures come from a secondary account, not a published editing log, so they should be treated as an anecdotal report.
