In some movie or other, Marlon Brando sings Long gone John from Bowling green"...not the whole song, but a few Brando-style mumbles. Anybody recall what film this is? |

What was described to me was Marlon Brando sitting down and mumbling "Long gone john from Bowling Green" and some other fragments, not singing it as a performance. |
