In the French port town of Bandol, Marlon Brando is captured with his fiancée, Josanne Mariani-Bérenger, in 1954. The actor was visiting the fisherman's daughter in her hometown, a place he enjoyed for its anonymity. Dressed in a blazer over a Breton shirt, he looks down at her with a gentle smile. Though their engagement was announced to the press, the affair ended abruptly upon his return to America. A sign mentioning "PASSEPORTS" in the background confirms the harborside setting.
