I love watching Brando in this. He's no Sinatra, but he's game - and his performance is a good reminder never to be afraid to try something new.

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
