On The Waterfront (1954)
Starring: Marlon Brando, Karl Malden, Lee J. Cobb, Rod Steiger, Pat Henning, Eva Marie Saint
Director: Elia Kazan
Marlon Brando gives one of the screen's most electrifying peformances in this 1954 Academy Award winner for Best Film. Ex-fighter Terry Malloy could have been a contender, but now toils for boss Johnny Friendly in the gang-ridden waterfront. Terry is guilt-stricken, however, when he lures a rebellious worker to his death. But it takes the love of Edie Doyle, the dead man's sister, to show Terry how low he has fallen. When his crooked brother Charley the Gent is brutally murdered for refusing to kill him, Terry battles to crush Friendly's underworld empire. Directed by Elia Kazan (A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE) and written by Budd Sculberg (WHAT MAKES SAMMY RUN?), this unforgettable drama about Terry's redemption is among the most acclaimed of all films.
