A movie which couldve used better character arcs in my opinion not horrible, but it really felt lacking and while Quinn was solid never found him worthy of an award at all.

I'm a huge Brando fan, and, once again, with Kazan at the helm, he gives a solid performance. I thought Quinn was good, but not great. Written by Steinbeck, right? It had 'all the right people' for a 1952 film. Brando arguably gave an Oscar worthy performance 4 of his first 5 films. "The Men", "Streetcar", "Zapata", "The Wild One", "On The Waterfront". The only total misfire was "Desiree", and he didn't want to do it. I heard somewhere once, we wouldn't have had Elvis as we knew him, without Brando to model his persona on. James Dean, etc. His later career may have been mixed, but he shot out of the cannon like a rocket. Even in his bad films, he usually does an 'interesting' job with whatever part. Sometimes for shts and grins, I watch "Missouri Breaks", a film some critics have argued he 'ruined' with his campy performance. The may even be right, but he's hysterical in that role! |

I watched it a couple of years ago and enjoyed it more than ever. It's riveting, thought-inducing and feels revolutionary in spirit. Outstanding work from Jean Peters and Mildred Dunnock. It was said to be one of the late Senator John McCain's favourite films.
