Before "Last Tango in Paris" and "The Godfather" and after "Candy", his best three films, Brando came to England and, under the guidance of the great gourmand who was Michael Winner, made this "The Nightcomers". Brando is the best of the whole film, not only for the way he speaks with English peasant accent, but for his entire performance. He is in love with the character of Stephanie Beacham, Miss Jessel, but he has a strange way of showing his love, brutal, binds her to the ropes to make her feel pain. She loves him sincerely. Both of them will end up somehow a la Romeo and Juliet, but in a different way. Stephanie Beacham also does a very good role, and the extraordinary Harry Andrews shows once again the mastery demonstrated in many other memorable movies. But still, the film is weak.
