Synopsis
Elia Kazan's compelling social drama was the winner of eight Academy Awards and marks one of Marlon Brando's finest screen performances. Brando is Terry Malloy, a handsome but inarticulate longshoreman, who gets involved in a labor scandal when a fellow dock worker is murdered. He knows that the victim was killed by the oppressive labor union for squealing to a commission investigating misdoings. Terry intends to keep his mouth shut and his job safe. But when Edie (Eva Marie-Saint), the dead man's beautiful sister, comes to town, he must choose between his allegiance to a corrupt union and his loyalty to Edie.

5.0 out of 5 stars " I cudda been a contender", 22 Jan 2007

By	C. O'HARA "Pad" (London, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

is the famous line from this film. Brando is the ex boxer and younger brother of a waterfront mafia member whose loyalties are torn when he falls for the daughter of one of the workers exploited by his brothers friends. Brando is understated, eve marie Saint is gorgeous. If you're exploring classics its a good one to watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good, 5 May 2007

By	Petrolhead (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews

Okay, so it's black and white, half a century old and I wasn't expecting much, but On The Waterfront still packs the punches. You certainly don't have to be a film buff or a Brando fan to see why he was such a heart throb and the film won eight oscars. The plot doesn't always go where you might expect it to, the action moves along at a rollicking pace, the denouement keeps you guessing up to the last seconds and the acting is great throughout. The only thing that didn't match up to modern standards was an awful "special effect" of a man falling off a roof early on, but once you get past that it is pretty gritty and realistic, even the blood and violence. On the upside, it has one of the most famous lines in cinema history, which is worth waiting up for. This is not one of those "classic" films that is actually a big outdated yawn. It's just a classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST FILM OF ALL TIME, 19 Jul 2008

By	Robert Bristol "Rob Bristol" (Nottinghamshire) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A true classic, Brando plays a "bum" who makes a living out of working the docks, under the watchful eyes of the dock "mafia", headed by the marvelous Lee J Cobb.
Brando is handed a dilema when the "mafia" murder a fellow dockman and the sister of the deceased, played by the enchantingly beautiful Eva Marie Saint, turns up to find the truth behind her brothers murder.
Brando must choose between his loyalty to the "mafia" and Eva Marie Saint.
The finlae remains one of the most memorable in movie history.
EXCELLENT.
