Brando Revenge Feeds Frank Sinatra

During the filming of Guys and Dolls (1955), Frank Sinatra reportedly needled Marlon Brando by repeatedly calling him "Mumbles" to mock his acting style. What began as a mild feud escalated as Brando grew to hate the nickname and the constant jabs. To get back at Sinatra, Brando deliberately pretended to forget his lines in a scene that required Sinatra to eat each time they restarted, forcing him to keep eating over and over as the takes piled up.
