- <p> There's this kid from Vermont, see, a real innocent. Goes to
- the big city and gets involved with a major Mafia boss. Even with
- a bare-bones plot, any casting director knows the perfect pairing.
- The surprise is that both actors said yes. Matthew Broderick signed
- for a new film, The Freshman, largely for the chance to work with
- the godfather himself, Marlon Brando, who is taking his first major
- movie role in a decade. While running through lines in rehearsals,
- Brando horsed around by playing the part of Broderick's girlfriend.
- "I thought he was quite good," says Broderick. "But physically, he
- was all wrong." That about sizes it up.
