	On the Waterfront: Special Edition (1954)
		Waterfront mainly tells the story of Terry Malloy (Brando), a fairly dopey low-life ex-boxer who works on the docks and also does some jobs for local mobster Johnny Friendly (Lee J. Cobb).
		Waterfront also helped define the career of director Elia Kazan, and it’s a very interesting flick to watch against its historical background.
		Somewhat stronger - at least on a relative basis - was the monaural soundtrack of On the Waterfront.

	CIRE Magazine :: On the Waterfront
		Among the first areas to be settled, early American waterfront developments were mostly industrial factories and warehouses, situated on shores for convenient access to transportation of people and goods, according to American Rivers, a national nonprofit conservation organization.
		Waterfront properties are being developed into everything from luxury condominiums to retail lifestyle centers to town squares and tourist-driven boardwalks.
		Waterfront developments not only have the aesthetics of a shoreline view, they also have the advantages of a strategic location.

	On The Waterfront (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		If this last big chunk of unused waterfront land in the Northeast is developed properly, the impact will be felt far beyond the artists' lofts, surface parking lots, industrial areas, and Southie neighborhoods that now occupy those thousand acres.
		The seaport plan doesn't have a grand enough vision, nor an ambitious enough conception of what the waterfront could be for the people of this city -- both of which are vital to shaping that district, even this early in the process.
		The buildings allowed along the waterfront may not be as high those in the Financial District, but they don't have to be that high to undermine the area's appeal.

	On The Waterfront (1954)
		And it is set on New York's oppressive waterfront docks, where dock workers struggled for work, dignity, and to make ends meet under the control of hard-knuckled, mob-run labor unions that would force them to submit to daily 'shape-ups' by cruel hiring bosses.
		In the rough waterfront bar where some of the patrons watch a prizefight on a TV above the bar, Big Mac (James Westerfield) the waterfront hiring boss, brings beer-drinking Johnny Friendly a thick wad of bills, revealing union racketeering, corruption, strong-arm tactics and payoffs: "Here's the cut on the shape-up.
		As a man in his 30s who is exploited like a pawn by others, ex-prizefighter and has-been Terry knows that he owes his waterfront career and livelihood to Johnny Friendly, head of the racketeers, and to his brother Charley, although he was forced to take a 'fall' in a boxing fight.

	On the waterfront
		Also pressing for reform were the so called 'waterfront priests', notably Father John Corridan, who had campaigned on behalf of rebel longshoremen since arriving at the Xavier Labour School in the Hell's Kitchen district of New York in 1946.
		The man had been talking to the Crime Commission, and with this opening scene the film introduces the notion that such testimony is considered to be informing, 'ratting on your friends' by the men and particularly the union bosses.
		On the Waterfront, Malloy hardly behaves as a leader, while Friendly is seen shouting that he will be back, and the men are shown to be little more than cautiously admiring of Terry's exhibition of his old boxing skills.

	War on the Waterfront
		Reith and Howard have been pushed back by their failure on the waterfront but made clear on their re-election that they are now back in the ring for the next round against the MUA or another key union.
		Indeed, the waterfront reform programme of 1987-91 is constantly used by the union leadership as an example of the virtues of employers working hand in hand with the MUA.
		The idea that underlay MUA co-operation in waterfront reform was their belief in the politics of "strategic unionism".

		So says Terry Malloy, the longshoreman who testifies against his union in ``On the Waterfront.'' The line, said by Marlon Brando, resonates all through the picture because the story is about conscience--and so is the story behind the story.
		This was the film made in 1954 by Elia Kazan after he agreed to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee, named former associates who were involved with the Communist Party and became a pariah in left-wing circles.
		In ``On the Waterfront,'' there's a moment when Terry goes for a walk in the park with Edie (Eva Marie Saint), the sister of a man who has been thrown off a roof for talking to crime investigators.

	Classic Films: On the Waterfront
		Eventually Elia Kazan’s On the Waterfront falls into most of the traps lurking to ensnare filmmakers of reforming zeal, but its virtuosity is undeniable—be it the words unheard under the ship’s hooters (324k) or the shuffling conversation in the taxi, devices which were then new in films.
		The idea for On the Waterfront began with an expose series written for The New York Sun by reporter Malcolm Johnson.
		On the Waterfront opened in October 1954 to sensational reviews and grossed over $9.5 million in its initial release.

	BBC - Films - review - On The Waterfront
		Director Elia Kazan was shunned by many of his Hollywood peers for naming names during McCarthy's communist witch hunts of the early 1950s.
		When his "On the Waterfront" was released in 1954 it was seen by many as a defiant attempt to justify his actions.
		But "On the Waterfront" retains the freshness of an original - exploring the difficulties and corruptions of working stiffs with a realism, sensitivity and intelligence that has seldom been matched since.

	On the Waterfront
		By A. small but obviously dedicated group of realists has forged artistry, anger and some horrible truths into "On the Waterfront," as violent and indelible a film record of man's inhumanity to man as has come to light this year.
		And, while the explosive indictment of the vultures and the meek prey of the docksides, which was unveiled at the Astor yesterday, occasionally is only surface dramatization and an oversimplification of the personalities and evils of our waterfront, it is, nevertheless, an uncommonly powerful, exciting and imaginative use of the screen by gifted professionals.
		Despite its happy ending; its preachments and a somewhat slick approach to some of the facets of dockside strife and tribulations, "On the Waterfront" is moviemaking of a rare and high order.

		On the Waterfront is a powerful drama brilliantly acted and filmed and is well deserving of its honored place in movie history.

		From 1952 to 1967, Barbaro worked as a longshoreman on the waterfront in Brooklyn, and his time on the piers profoundly shaped his philosophy.
		While an assemblyman, Barbaro led a rent strike in the city, and when he was later elevated to the state Supreme Court Justice, he wrote opinions that he proudly recalled safeguarded due process rights for the accused.
		But it was on the waterfront where he sunk his progressive roots, learning the "absolute necessity of building a people's movement--to be a countervailing force" to corporations.

		She stays with her costar even in their celebrated scene walking across a small park when, at ease in front of the camera as few actors have ever been, he improvises brilliantly with one of her unintentionally dropped gloves.
		The other scene everyone remembers in "Waterfront," the taxi conversation between brothers when Terry tells Charlie, "I could have been a contender, I could have been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am," has lost nothing of its impact.

		His performance as Terry Malloy is often considered one of his greatest (and he won an Oscar for it to back it up), and there is no doubt that this is a performance of spontaneity and great emotional realism that must have awed a generation of filmgoers who watched him.
		Rather, OTW is great because it does what all great movies manage to do: to engage us in the fate of its stars.
		"On the Waterfront" is widely known to be an act of expiation on the part of Elia Kazan for naming names to HUAC during the McCarthy witch-hunts of the 50s.

		The matter was eventually worked out, and Hanley went on to make his living among the waterfront pirates without bending to their wills.
		For years he was consigned to what was then the toughest job in the pre-container days of break-bulk cargo, down in the hold of the ship wrestling loads with his hook.

		There are some slight negative points - the music is at times overbearing and the religious side it tries to bring forth does not quite work - but there is not anything significant that I would flaw the film on.
		The dock noises can often be heard, which helps to set up the waterfront atmosphere, and there is one scene in which the noise of a ship plays a key element in a conversation between Saint and Brando.
		I would say that 'On the Waterfront' is a drama about struggling against the restrictions of society, and of what it takes to stand up for what one believes in.
