Marlon Brando gives a career best performance as rugged boxer turned-docker Terry Malloy, in Elia Kazan’s multi Academy Award-winning tale of moral conflict and corruption. Terry finds himself increasingly isolated when he challenges the might and power of the tough New York City dockers’ union, and comes into conflict with his elder brother who is torn between loyalty to his union and the love of his family. On the Waterfront is a powerful and memorable piece of cinema which is a must to see on the big screen.
