On the Waterfront (1954)
A great film, with so many great performances, particularly by Brando (Oscar winning), Eva Marie Saint (Oscar winning), Karl Malden (Oscar nominated), Rod Steiger (Oscar nominated) and Lee J. Cobb (Oscar nominated). Perfect on-location cinematography in Hoboken, N.J. by Boris Kaufman; a beautiful score by Leonard Bernstein, and a story with a theme that is timeless, as relevant and important today as it was when the film was made. And in terms of performance, oh, Lord, there are scenes in the film that simply take the breath away. I hope everyone will see this glorious cinematic achievement, if they haven't already.
