Fan-Tan is a hugely entertaining, swashbuckling romp, from one of the greatest actors of our time: Marlon Brando. The story of an eccentric early-twentieth-century pirate who sets out on the high seas from the Philippines to Shanghai, Fan-Tan follows the exploits of Anatole "Annie" Doultry, a larger-than-life character that Brando could have easily inhabited himself. When Annie saves the life of a Chinese prisoner in a Hong Kong prison, he's led to the mysterious and seductive Madame Lai Choi San--one of the most notorious gangsters in Asia--and here the true adventures begin.Years in the making with Brando's longtime collaborator, screenwriter and director Donald Cammell, Fan-Tan is a rollicking, delectable tale--and the last surprise from an ever-surprising legend.
