[Marlon Brando's] colleagues act and they act well. Full Review

...A powerful and influential movie, one that continued Brando's immeasurable influence on the general change of tone in American movie acting in the 50's...

It's one of the towering performances in the history of the movies...
Premiere

Rating: 8/10 -- [Boris Kaufman's] neo-realistic style is a perfect match for Waterfront's gritty story... and the film was well served by the 36 days the cast and crew spent shooting in and around the Hoboken waterfront. Full Review

ON THE WATERFRONT retains its righteous power and resonance. And Marlon is magnificent.

Rating: 5/5 -- On the surface it's an extremely well-crafted and entertaining drama, but peel away some layers and you'll discover an apologia for informing. Full Review

Product Description:

Marlon Brando is Terry Malloy, an ex-prize fighter struggling against union corruption along the New York waterfront, in Elia Kazan's film classic. Malloy's battle takes him all the way to the witness stand, where he finds himself testifying against union leaders. The film was Kazan's response to his decision to turn in the names of his Hollywood contemporaries during Senator Joe McCarthy's anti-Communism hearings. Lee J. Cobb, Rod Steiger, and Malden were all nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Oscars. Academy Award Nominations: 12. Academy Awards: 8, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor--Marlon Brando, Best Story and Screenplay.
