Robert Duvall told Newsweek in a 2014 interview: "The Chase is where I met Marlon Brando, kind of my hero coming up. He called me into his dressing room and asked about the script, 'Whuh you think about this?' He thought it was pretty sh***y. I laughed and said, 'It's OK.' We talked during the filming, but I'd pass him in the daytime, and he'd never say 'Good morning' or anything! Brando knew you were waiting to say 'Good morning' to him, so he wouldn't. I guess he had his own system."
