BBC – Talking Pictures: On the Waterfront (2015)
English | Documentary | Size: 942 MB
A look at On the Waterfront, revealing how behind its success lies a story of betrayal.
Elia Kazan directs the 1950s crime drama starring Marlon Brando, who gives the performance of his career as the tough prizefighter-turned-longshoreman Terry Malloy in this masterpiece of urban poetry.
‘I could’ve had class. I could’ve been a contender. I could’ve been somebody.’ Brando’s character Malloy becomes involved in corrupt dockside politics through his lawyer brother Charley, who works for gangster union boss.
Kazan’s gripping tale of racket busting on the New Jersey docklands provides a showcase for the Method acting of Marlon Brando and Rod Steiger. With an electrifying score by Leonard Bernstein, the film is a milestone in American screen acting. Driven by the vivid, naturalistic direction of Elia Kazan and savory, streetwise dialogue by Budd Schulberg, On the Waterfront was an instant sensation, winning eight Oscars, including for best picture, director, actor, supporting actress (Eva Marie Saint), and screenplay.
Sixty years after its original release, Talking Pictures examines On the Waterfront, one of the greatest films in US cinema history. Archive interviews with the director, writer and cast members, including Marlon Brando, reveal how behind its success lies a story of betrayal and resentment, born from America’s anti-communist fervour of the 1950s.
