Classic films, I love`em. And you seriously dont get a more iconic film than "On the Waterfront" I`ve finally knocked this one off my shame list.
Movie# 48 On the Waterfront 1954
Marlon Brandon was one of the greatest actors who ever graced the silver screen and "On the Waterfront" might just be his finest performance. A beautifully directed drama with elements of film noir. It explores a lot of deep rooted issues of regret, family, justice and taking on the corruption which is partly the reason its stood the test of time. Of course the amazing cast also has a lot to do with that as well. Besides Brandon the film introduced the lovely and talented Eve Marie Saint (North by Northwest) and with supporting acting by Karl Malden, Lee J.Cobb etc. Its hard to do this film justice without writing a three page review and what can you say about something as legendary as this. Great film and i`m so glad I finally seen it.
