'On The Waterfront' is a story about Terry Malloy, an ex-prizefighter who now works for gangsters on the docks. However, after being part of a murder, Malloy starts to feel guilty, yet his loyalty prevents his conscience from seeking penance. Through out the movie, Malloy is torn by his morals, particularly when he meets the sister of the murdered man.
Based on true events, the film paints a glum picture of working-class life, by shooting on location and in grimy black and white. Marlon Brando has gained phenomenal recognition for this role, and rightly so, offering one of the greatest performances in movie history - the torn and confused Terry Malloy - and yes, that famous scene - "I coulda been a contender." Rod Steiger is also brilliant as Malloy's brother Charley, who's deep underworld connections resulted in Malloy's present state. This movie deserves all the hype that surrounds it, as it is a genuinely classic, smart movie.
A brilliant morality tale, the "story of the redemption of Terry Malloy" is an astounding depiction of life and conscience, a man facing his personal demons and need to do the right thing. Despite the last two minutes of the movie (which went for a fairly misplaced up-beat feel), this is a must watch, must own, intelligent, thought-provoking classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kazan's untouchable portrayal of Mafia brutality and menace,
In 1954, acclaimed director of "A Streetcar Named Desire", Elia Kazan collaborated with one of the finest musicians of the time, Leonard Bernstein, and possibly the most gifted and versatile actors in screen history, Marlon Brando to create a film of nearly unmatchable power and disturbing realism.
"On the Waterfront" tells the emotional story of an ex-boxer, Terry Malloy (Brando), who, after seeing the immoral and deeply wrong nature of the mafia he is working for, realises the value of life and freedom and sets about to bring the organisation down for its crimes.
A superb performance on Brando's part as well as the film's supporting actors: Eva Marie Saint, who plays the attractive young nun, Edie, who convinces Malloy to listen to his conscience and eventually find his admirable view on life: Rod Steiger, who playsMalloy's brother, Charley The Gent, who shares the fantastic taxi scene with Brando, in which the relationship of the two brothers is seen in its real light: Karl Malden, who plays the creditable town priest whose goal from the outset is to persuade the workers at the dock to rise up against the mafia and expose their evil ways: and lee J. Cobb, who plays mafia leader, Johnny friendly whose ruthless and barbaric personality is mirrored perfectly in Cobbs performance.
Bernstein's score also adds to the amazing power of the film, reflecting the fear, hatred, anger and confusion in every workers hearts and minds in the film. The famous scene where a truck threatens to run Malloy and Edie over in a remote alleyway is given a vital accompaniment of striking overscore to convey the sense of panic and terror that is so prominent in most scenes in the film.
Perhaps most astonishing of all, are the emotions the film can't help but send racing through your mind when viewing it. The savage and barbarous existence of the mafia is so infallably crafted that its very presence in the film fills the viewers heart with anxiety, dread and alarm that I am yet to see paralleled by another piece of filmwork. Also, the touching humbleness of Brando's reformed character has a unique ability of communicating to people from all walks of life, and it is this every-man quality that forms Malloy so perfectly.
8 Academy Awards very well earned and an essential and truly brilliant films in the life of cinema, which even houses one of the most famous and emotive screen lines ever "I coulda been a contender." This immortal line encapsulates the magnificance and power of one the greatest films in history.

This review is from: On The Waterfront [Blu-ray] [1954] (Blu-ray)
Just got my UK Blu Ray copy today of this classic movie once again the UK market lose out!!!!!!!!!!! i cannot believe that Sony have dropped the fantastic audio commentary that was on the original 2001 DVD release by Brando's biographer Richard Schickel.This is not good enough what is the excuse for this all we get is the interview with director Elia Kazan,and a mastering method featurette which is at least to be expected.This film was one of Brando's classic performances and was awarded 8 Oscars one of which went to Marlon Brando,and to Kazan for direction this was one of Columbia pictures gems and has not been given the treatment it deserved.Shame on Sony i shall contact them and see what comments if any they make. Regarding the Hi Def transfer the 60 year old movie looks great but collectors and fans will be disappointed,not even any chapter points are included on the menu what on earth is going on pointless cost cutting.I will hang onto my old 2001 DVD copy because these so called film people just cant get it right hope this helps with your purchase of this Blu Ray.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hollywood Acting Masterclass,
Keith M - See all my reviews
Elia Kazan's 1954 masterpiece of New York dockland crime and corruption is a true Hollywood classic (back in the days when such a concept wasn't a rarity) and contains some of the finest acting performances to originate from that bygone era. The film rightly won eight Oscars, including that for Best Film, Best Director (Kazan) and Best Actor (Marlon Brando).
The film's main protagonist Terry Malloy (Brando) is torn between, on the one hand, his loyalty to the dockland 'mafia gang' run by Johnny Friendly (Lee J Cobb), whose members include chief henchman Charley (Terry's brother played by Rod Steiger), and, on the other hand, his burgeoning love for dockland new arrival Edie Doyle (Eva Marie Saint), whose brother Joey has recently been murdered by Friendly's gang. At the prompting of local priest Father Barry (Karl Malden) Terry is persuaded to testify in court against Friendly's gang with predictably tragic consequences.
In addition to Brando's career-best performance, there are also outstanding performances from Karl Malden (nominated for Best Supporting Actor) and a remarkably assured film debut performance from Eva Marie Saint (at the surprisingly mature age of 30), a performance which garnered Saint the Best Supporting Actress Oscar. But, for me, the two outstanding acting plaudits go to Rod Steiger in a brilliantly underplayed role as Charlie, and the much underrated Lee J Cobb, who exudes menace as the ruthless Johnny Friendly. Cobb's performance ranks alongside his other career-crowning glory that was his film-stealing role as the anonymously-named Juror No. 3 in Sidney Lumet's 1957 courtroom classic 12 Angry Men. Both Steiger and Cobb were (along with Malden) also unsuccessful in the Best Supporting Actor category.
The final, but absolutely key, component to Kazan's film is the terrific score composed by Leonard Bernstein. Reminiscent in parts to some of the incidental music he wrote for West Side Story, the score brilliantly tracks the film's tension and high-octane action sequences.
Of course, the film is also justly famous for the seminal scene in the back of a New York cab between brothers Terry and Charley, as Charley confronts Terry with the ultimatum either not to testify against Johnny Friendly or to face the consequences. This scene represents pure gold in screen acting. (As a slight aside, the DVD also provides fascinating additional detail on the making of this scene - including the fact that producer Sam Spiegel would not provide Kazan with an actual cab for the shoot and so Kazan was forced to improvise using one half of another vehicle! .. and that Marlon Brando decided to leave the shoot midway in order to make an analyst's appointment, leaving Steiger (somewhat annoyed) to complete his half of the scene alone!)
As a final word, On The Waterfront is often cited as Kazan's answer to those who criticised him for testifying to HUAC (House Committee on Un-American Activities) against (alleged) Communists working in Hollywood at the time. I think it slightly fanciful, if true, of Kazan to equate the gangster activities of a character like Johnny Friendly with those of many creative Hollywood artists such as Edward Dmytryk, Lillian Hellman, Elmer Bernstein and Dalton Trumbo, whose careers were effectively ended by this witchhunt.
Still, this reservation aside, Kazan undoubtedly made some great Hollywood films, of which On The Waterfront is the finest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nicely done.,
The 1950's were a strange, strange time for American film. When watching On the Waterfront it's helpful to consider two important events that occurred in this decade. Firstly there were the Communist witch-hunts, which lead to many directors being blacklisted (included Elia Kazan). Secondly there was a growing concern that America was becoming complacent. New products would come out and commercials would market them on the basis that they made life easier. In much of the same manner suburban housing became appealing to those who lived in the city with a lower income. Moving to the suburbs gave such people a chance to own a house and move themselves up the class ladder. By buying these products and moving into the mass-produced suburbs some felt that the country was conforming and loosing its identity.
It isn't difficult to see that these two occurrences had great bearing on the film. At the beginning of the film we find that Terry Malloy (Brando) has resigned himself to the idea that he missed out on his dream of being a prize-fighter. So he lives his life running errands for Johnny Friendly, the corrupt boss of the Dockers union. Terry witnesses a murder by two of Johnny's thugs, and later meets the dead man's sister (Edie Doyle) who he ultimately falls in love with. She introduces him to Father Barry (Karl Malden), who tries to make him supply information for the courts in order to destroy the dock racketeers.
The fact Terry is put in a situation at the end where he has to ' name names' parallels Elia Kazan's own dilemma. In fact he later said that 'On the Waterfront is my own story; every day I worked on that film I was telling the world where I stood and my critics to go and **** themselves.'
America's growing concern over complacency is also clear because Terry departs in every possible way from the groomed, well spoken leading man of the previous decades. Terry Malloy is strong yet gentle, invincible yet vulnerable. He was in fact born out of 50's anxiety, as was James Dean's character in Rebel Without a Cause.
For all the these reasons, as well as Marlon Brando's method acting (a form of acting Elia Kazan invented in A Streetcar Named Desire) On The Waterfront is a seminal work. It's worthy of your admiration, of your praise, of your time and of your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars FILM BASED ON LABOUR HISTORY,
BABU VARMA "B.K. Varma" (Trichur East, Kerala State, India) - See all my reviews
This review is from: On The Waterfront [DVD] (DVD)
[[ASIN:B001MAA6QK On The Waterfront [DVD]
On the Waterfront was Marlon Brando's sixth film and the first to win an Academy Award for him. If today the performance seems less convincing and more mannered than it did at the time of the film's first release, it must be remembered that On the Waterfront was the peak of Brando's meteoric early film career. Terry Malloy was an amalgam of Stanley Kowalski from A Streetcar named Desire (1951) Emiliano Zapata from Viva Zapata! (1952) and Johnny from The Wild One (1953). It may not be too fanciful to see in On the Waterfront, a thinly veiled allegory of Kazan's new - found anti - communism. The dockers become the Hollywood community, the gangs become the Communist Party and Terry Malloy, the hero, is Kazan himself. Yet there is no irony in the handling of the plot. Either way, the parallel offers another argument against On the Waterfront's much vaunted realism. Budd Schulberg, the writer, may have fashioned his story out of news - feature material provided by the journalist Malcolm Johnson but, when On the Waterfront was released, he and Kazan had chipped away at this material until a fairy story emerged. Real racketeering and the struggle against it were never like this. Political realities were not allowed to undermine the simplistic moral struggle between good and evil. The film is laden with straightforward Christian symbolism and carries the metaphor of Terry's caged pigeons with some signs of weariness. The one genuine originality of On the Waterfront remains in its choice of setting and Boris Kaufman's evocative cinematography - otherwise it might just as easily be a clichéd Western (complete with civilized schoolma'am in the shape of Eva Marie Saint) or, for that matter a crass apologia for Kazan's actions in the face of McCarthyite witch - hunt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hit the rewind button and marvel in his excellence !!!,
G. Kyriacou "GINA PACINO" (UK) - See all my reviews
Multi Oscar winning film, brilliantly directed, with a superb cast. Eva Marie Saint is excellent, Karl Malden, Rod Steiger, but the genius of this film is of course Marlon Brando.
Marlon Brando - A stunningly handsome man, who wasnt just a beautiful face, this man was possibly the greatest actor of all time.
With his unique voice and a face that has you transfixed at the screen, Marlon Brando delivers an absolutely stunning performance in this film.
The scene in the car with Rod Steiger, where Brando says ' I could have been someone'...just hit the rewind button over and over again....that is one of the finest scenes in cinema history. It's 'real' and he acts to perfection.
Marlon Brando gives the performance of a lifetime in this film. We all know Brando is excellent in the Godfather, but this is Brando at his finest.
Anyone who wants to be an actor, just watch that scene over and over again, because Brando is the Master.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brando's best performance in a movie that will never lose its relevance!,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: On The Waterfront [DVD] (DVD)
This is a movie you must see. Set in the tough docklands of 1950's New York, it tells the story of failed boxer, Terry Molloy (Marlon Brando), whose punchy conscience is managed by his brother, Charlie (Rod Steiger), following the suspicious death of a docker.
Charlie, a sharp-dressed lawyer working for the local mob-controlled Union boss, instructs Terry (an unwitting stool pigeon who became inadvertently responsible for the murder of the docker) to keep his mouth shut and his head down for a while.
The denim-clad and brooding Brando is superb as Terry, who escapes the machinations of the mob heavies and the FBI by retreating to his pigeon loft on the roof of a grimy apartment block.
The key to freeing his troubled conscience is turned by the feisty and beautiful daughter who, along with the help of the local priest, is determined to expose local corruption and those responsible for her father's murder.
The setting is superbly staged and filmed in atmospheric monochrome in the soot-blackened streets and alleys of New York, matched brilliantly by a Leonard Bernstein score and some of the best acting you will ever witness. All this, and the strong suggestion that director, Elia Kazan, made the movie as an apology for exposing friends and colleagues to the McCarthy anti-Communist 'investigations', creates a rare and stunning cinematic experience as relevant now as it was then!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brando's BEST,
By A Customer
The 'Contender' scene should be spliced into every single film reel to show audiences what acting is really all about. Right before Schwarzenegger spits out his latest catch phrase or Adam Sandler plays the angry young man again, movie viewers should witness the timing, the choices and the emotion included in this 4 minute scene. Not only this, the entire movie displays how Hollywood used to get it right. How acting ability ment a movie became a hit and not merely due to a face on a poster or months of teaser trailers (thank you George Lucas). A story that shows more than 'One man's struggle...' Eliah Kazan's direction off screen and Brando's on screen performance meant that the primary cast produce mouth watering characters that probably existed on the dock's of New York in the 40's. Other noticable performances are by Malden (a name that should be as well known as all his peers), Steiger (watch his face during the contender scene and you can see the turmoil in his character's mind contest his feelings) and Eva Marie Saint (an oscar winner for supporting actress). The features add a nice touch to the DVD - especially the 'Mastering the Method' feature, however the movie alone should justify the purchase of this title. Terry Malloy should be a name up there or ahead of Vito Corleone in cinematic histroy.
5.0 out of 5 stars ON THE WATERFRONT [1954] [The Criterion Collection Special Edition] [Blu-ray] [US Import],
This review is from: Criterion Collection: On the Waterfront [Blu-ray] [1954] [US Import] (Blu-ray)
ON THE WATERFRONT [1954] [The Criterion Collection Special Edition] [Blu-ray] [US Import] Marlon Brando gives the performance of his career as the tough prize-fighter-turned-longshoreman Terry Malloy in this masterpiece of urban poetry, a raggedly emotional tale of individual failure and institutional corruption. 'On the Waterfront' charts Terry's deepening moral crisis as he must choose whether to remain loyal to the mob-connected union boss Johnny Friendly [Lee J. Cobb] and Johnny's right-hand man, Terry's brother, Charley [Rod Steiger], as the authorities close in on them. Driven by the vivid, naturalistic direction of Elia Kazan and savy streetwise dialogue by Budd Schulberg. 'On the Waterfront' was an instant sensation, winning eight Oscars�, including the best picture, director, actor, supporting actress Eva Marie Saint, and screenplay.
FILM FACT: 'On the Waterfront' was a critical and commercial success and received 12 Academy Award� nominations, winning eight, including Best Picture, Best Actor for Marlon Brando, Best Supporting Actress for Eva Marie Saint, and Best Director for Elia Kazan. In 1997 it was ranked by the American Film Institute as the 8th greatest American film of all time. It is Leonard Bernstein's only original film score not adapted from a stage production with songs.

Andrew's Blu-ray Review: The truly great films have it all and a meaningful story, resonating themes, incisive direction, powerful performances, a literate screenplay, superior cinematography, and a driving narrative force that grabs the attention of an audience and keeps it spellbound from the opening frames to the closing credits. Not many films possess all these elusive components, but 'On the Waterfront' does in spades. Elia Kazan's gripping study of mob corruption along the docks of New York and one man's willingness to stand up against it is that rare cinematic jewel that's blistering and tender, romantic and suspenseful, intelligent and entertaining. Featuring Marlon Brando's finest performance (and that includes Stanley Kowalski in 'A Streetcar Named Desire') and directed with artful realism and keen insight by Elia Kazan, 'On the Waterfront,' almost six decades after it first premiered, remains one of Hollywood's most searing and riveting motion pictures. And this dynamite edition from Criterion gives this unforgettable movie the respect and attention it deserves. The year is still young, but it's impossible to imagine any other classic release eclipsing it.
Ex-boxer Terry Malloy [Marlon Brando] earns an inconsequential living working for waterfront crime boss Johnny Friendly [Lee J. Cobb]. But when he unwittingly lures a rebellious dockworker to his death, Terry Malloy suffers pangs of guilt. Through the love of Edie Doyle [Eva Marie Saint], the murdered man's sister, and the support of Father Barry [Karl Malden], a crime-fighting priest, Terry Malloy finds the moral courage to stand up to Johnny Friendly and his goons and accepts the violent consequences of his decision. "The finest thing ever done by an American film actor" was how director Elia Kazan has characterised the performance of Marlon Brando in 'On the Waterfront' [1954], the classic tale of crime and corruption among unionized dock workers in New York and New Jersey. Marlon Brando plays Terry Malloy, a washed-up boxer turned longshoreman who witnesses a murder arranged by a union boss and agrees to testify before the Crime Commission.
'On the Waterfront' changed the face of films with its emphasis on naturalistic photography and acting. Shot almost entirely on location in Hoboken, New Jersey and employing a number of actual longshoremen in bit parts and as extras, the film wears its grit on its sleeve, thrusting its viewers into a rough, lower class milieu among real people who perform back-breaking labour for a meagre wage and cow-tow to greedy bosses who bully and exploit them on a daily basis. All the workers abide by the "D and D" (deaf and dumb) code, accepting the culture of corruption and refusing to rat out the powerful syndicate for fear of dire repercussions. Johnny Friendly [Lee J. Cobb] runs the outfit and he's anything but. Blustery and ruthless, he's all about the take, and when Joey Doyle decides to snitch, he sends errand boy Terry Malloy [Marlon Brando] to lure him out of hiding and to his death. The naive Terry is shocked by the swift retribution, "I thought you were just gonna rough him up a little," but Joey's fate fits Terry Malloy's philosophy of life to a T, in saying, "Do it to him before he does it to you."
The horrible deed, however, awakens Terry Malloy's dormant conscience. A former boxer whose promising future was thwarted by the mob, Terry Malloy has since become a thug, languishing in Friendly's posse, his passions and sensitivity quashed by the macho environment and manipulations of his own brother, Charlie the Gent [Rod Steiger], Johnny's right-hand man. His only refuge is the rooftop pigeon coop he tended with Joey, an oasis of solitude in the urban jungle, where his nurturing nature can flourish. Yet when Joey's devastated sister Edie Doyle [Eva Marie Saint] convinces the local priest, Father Barry [Karl Malden], to infiltrate the fraternity and foster positive change, Terry Malloy's loyalty begins to waver. Two police investigators [Leif Erickson and Martin Balsam] also exert pressure on Terry to spill the specifics of Joey's demise, serving him with a subpoena to testify at a city hearing. Whether Terry Malloy will tow his party's line or turn against his crooked compatriots and redeem his guilty soul forms the crux of the drama, as does Terry Malloy's burgeoning romance with Edie Doyle, who knows nothing of his involvement in her brother's death.
Socially conscious without being self-conscious, and a film with a preacher that's not overtly preachy, 'On the Waterfront' defends the right to turn on and turn in one's peers if the informer believes it's morally correct. The story's central dilemma, intentionally or not, strikingly mirrors the quandary Elia Kazan himself faced two years earlier when he notoriously and unapologetically, decided to name names to the House Un-American Activities Committee during its rabid investigation into Communist infiltration in the U.S. Of course, Elia Kazan's controversial and unpopular decision to betray former colleagues was seen as an act of cowardice and self-preservation, while Terry's choice is depicted as noble and courageous, but the crisis of conscience the two endured is similar, if coincidental. Though Elia Kazan recognises the parallels, which add fascinating subtext to the story, he denies the notion he made 'On the Waterfront' to justify and absolve his actions.
Such theories, however, only enhance the reputation of this exceptional motion picture, which seamlessly blends elements of film noir, westerns, and documentaries into its rich fabric of characters and situations. Screenwriter Budd Schulberg fashions dialogue that's lyrical, snappy, and endlessly quotable, "He doesn't need a doctor, and he needs a priest." Sure, there's Marlon Brando's iconic and impassioned "I coulda been a contender" speech, but there's also a rousing ovation by Father Barry and heart-breaking tender exchanges between Terry Malloy and Edie Doyle that evoke visceral responses. Furthermore, Budd Schulberg's intensive research into the longshoreman culture yields a host of vivid characters whose attitudes and reactions never feel contrived. Nor does the obvious bird metaphor interpretation. It's no fluke Terry Malloy raises pigeons and may become a stool pigeon himself, but like the habitat of his ornithological friends, his soul is also caged, and he yearns to fly away from the waterfront's all-consuming grime and corruption and break free from its binding chains. Elegance and grace epitomize these birds, and the waifish Edie Doyle exudes the same qualities, which inspire Terry Malloy, who aches for affection, to pursue her.
The location settings brilliantly reflect the hopelessness and despair that engulf the characters, while Elia Kazan's stark imagery lends impact to their respective passions. Boris Kaufman's natural cinematography creates a sombre mood, as he flawlessly captures the grey skies, frigid winter cityscapes, dingy tenements, cramped back rooms, dusty warehouses, and dark alleyways that define the dockside environment. Then tack on the one and only film score from musical genius Leonard Bernstein, which combines screaming progressive jazz with the plaintive moans of a solo horn to produce an accompaniment that's as potent and explosive as the on-screen action.
Marlon Brando also creates fantastic chemistry with Eva Marie Saint in her stunning film debut. Their deep longing and mutual need permeate their magnetic moments together, from the "improvised" glove scene in a park playground to their trepidations personal discovery in the saloon to their passionate embrace in Edie's apartment. Eva Marie Saint's shyness and conviction instantly win us over, and her natural, unassuming style complements Marlon Brando's more meticulous craftsmanship. When Edie says, "But there's a look in his eye" with such tender perception, the line encapsulates Terry Malloy's character and the reading cements their relationship even before it really begins. Both actors justly earned Academy Awards� for their mesmerising work and for creating one of the most believable romances ever committed to celluloid.
'On the Waterfront' is a bona fide masterpiece, the kind of film that moves and inspires without pretence or manipulation. It addresses important issues in an intelligent manner, and its simple, unaffected artistry, alternately bold and nuanced presentation, and finely etched portrayals heighten its palpable impact. Yielding new rewards and kernels of brilliance with each viewing, it's a film to experience and scrutinise over and over again.
Blu-ray Video Quality – 'On the Waterfront' was caught in the crosshairs during a transitional period in cinema history, as studios began developing the widescreen process to combat the encroaching threat of television. When Elia Kazan's film went into production, Columbia Pictures abruptly mandated all its movies be shot so they could be presented in both 1.33:1 and 1.85:1 aspect ratios to accommodate various theatre preferences and projection capabilities. Cinematographer Boris Kaufman, however, cleverly split the difference at 1.66:1, making sure to leave room at the top and bottom of the frame to facilitate a full image. Ironically, though, 'On the Waterfront' has rarely been shown in its preferred format. It premiered in most theatres in 1954 at 1.85:1, which cuts off a bit of information at the top and bottom of the screen. The open-matte 1.33:1 version played exclusively on television and in prior home video releases, but here, for the first time, The Criterion Collection presents all three aspect ratios, so viewers can choose the format they prefer. The 1.66:1 version has been rightfully designated the default format and resides on Disc One. It presents the most pleasing and balanced composition, and is the manner in which both Elia Kazan and Kaufman preferred the film to be viewed. The 1.85:1 and 1.33:1 renditions are both included on Disc Two.
Boris Kaufman's Oscar� winning black-and-white cinematography combines gritty naturalism with core noir elements to produce a stunning image that's always been difficult to faithfully reproduce in the home video realm. The Criterion Collection, however, has done a spectacular job, creating a new digital transfer in 4k resolution on a Oxbury Scanner equipped with wetgate processing from the original 35mm camera negative at Cineric in New York. The colour correction was done at Colorworks in Culver City, California, and the restoration was performed by Cineric using Pixel Farm's PFClean and DaVinci's Revival. It's not perfect, but 'On the Waterfront' was never meant to look perfect. Here, the realism is uncompromised, with medium grain enhancing the tenement settings and rough dockside exteriors. Some of the solid backgrounds, especially the sky, appear a little noisy at times, and a few scenes suffer from a nagging bit of softness, but on the whole, the image is clear and well-modulated. Shot in the dead of winter, 'On the Waterfront' captures the frigid conditions with marvellous accuracy, from hazy, monochromatic street scenes to the harsh glare of the sun. You can see the steam emanating from the actors' mouths and feel the textures of the tattered jackets and scuffed hats that adorn the dock workers. The source material is practically spotless, allowing full immersion in the involving tale, and no digital enhancements of deficiencies disrupt the spell. Close-ups caress Brando's iconic face, the unspoiled loveliness of Saint, and the craggy, weathered visages of the downtrodden labourers. Even the wire cages of the pigeon coops are sharp and resist shimmering. Without a doubt, 'On the Waterfront' has never looked better, and this superior The Criterion Collection effort makes this unforgettable film even more powerful than when I saw it released in the cinema.
Blu-ray Audio Quality – Two audio options grace the 'On the Waterfront' disc, offering slightly different soundscapes. The original monaural track was remastered at 24-bit from the original 35mm magnetic tracks. The alternate 5.1 surround mix was created at Chase Audio in Los Angeles using the original 35mm magnetic tracks and the original stereo music recording. It most closely resembles what the film sounded like upon its initial release. Aside from a bit of surface noise afflicting the opening credit sequence, the track is free of any age-related imperfections, such as hiss, pops, and crackles, and pumps out solid audio. Sometimes the music overpowers the action and dialogue, plus a deficiency of the film's original mix and a fact that really upset Elia Kazan over the years, but only a few lines are lost as a result. Leonard Bernstein's innovative and highly active score does test the limits of the dynamic scale, with its bombastic highs and mellow lows, but no distortion creeps in, and the horns and strings sound wonderfully pure, bright, and full. Dialogue can be problematic at times, but that's mostly due to the mumbling of Marlon Brando and the longshoremen, as well as their New York dialects and the music crescendos. Bass frequencies are strong, with elements such as foghorns and truck rumbles wielding appropriate weight, and accents like shattering glass and screeching tires are crisp and distinct. This mix sounds a bit smoother and warmer than the monaural track, even though most of the audio is still anchored up front. Dialogue issues are identical, but the music possesses a broader feel with the addition of the rear speakers. Nuances are also a bit more pronounced, with ambient bar noise and exterior atmospherics easier to pick up. While some manufactured 5.1 tracks sound processed and artificial, this one seamlessly blends into the film's fabric. Both audio options supply high-quality sound that beautifully complements this film classic and honours the only film score of composer Leonard Bernstein. I recommend giving both a try and deciding for yourself which one you prefer.
Blu-ray Special Features and Extras:
NEW 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition.
Alternate presentations of the feature restoration in two additional aspect ratios: 1.85:1 [widescreen] and 1.33:1 [full-screen].

Audio Commentary: Commentary featuring authors Richard Schickel and Jeff Young: A terrific commentary by film critic and historian Richard Schickel and author Jeff Young, both of whom have interviewed and written books on Elia Kazan, provides a wealth of fascinating insights, anecdotes, and bits of trivia concerning this classic picture and Elia Kazan's personal connection to it. The two men talk about the film's ripped-from-the-headlines background, bitterly cold shoot, authentic locations, and Marlon Brando's genius. Schickel calls 'On the Waterfront' "the last great black-and-white movie" and "apotheosis of Actor's Studio acting," while both discuss how the story paralleled Elia Kazan's own experiences with the House Un-American Activities Committee and quote their respective conversations with Elia Kazan. They compare Elia Kazan's penchant for cool blondes to Hitchcock's similar obsession, examine the movie's often "artless" presentation, and note Frank Sinatra was originally slated to play Terry Malloy. (One can only shudder to think how that would have turned out.) This is a great dialogue between two intelligent film scholars, and their relaxed demeanour and comfortable chemistry make the track fly by. Many commentaries are just a bunch of hot air; this one's a breath of fresh air, and well worth a listen.
NEW conversation between filmmaker Martin Scorsese and critic Kent Jones [18:00] In this 2012 discussion, Scorsese and Jones, who co-directed the documentary 'A Letter to Elia,' reflect on Elia Kazan's masterwork. Scorsese dominates the conversation, remembering the profound effect 'On the Waterfront' had on him as a young boy and his "special connection" to it. In addition to talking about the film's music, photography, and locations, the two men compare the movie to 'Force of Evil' and 'Citizen Kane,' and examine the similarities between Marlon Brando and another legendary cinema anti-hero, John Garfield.
Special Feature Documentary: Elia Kazan: Outsider [1982] [53:00] "A mass of ambivalence" is how Kazan describes himself in this probing 1982 profile that provides an intimate look at the man and his career. Composed almost entirely of comments by Kazan taken from a series of interviews with French film critic Michel Ciment, the documentary allows the director the opportunity to expound on his Turkish immigrant background, tenure at The Group Theatre, and the genesis of the famed Actor's Studio, which he co-founded. Kazan explains the finer points of method acting, recalls working with Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro, recounts how he cast James Dean in 'East of Eden,' defends his testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee, and discusses his various novels and personal relationships. Unfortunately, only clips from 'Baby Doll' and 'America, America' are used to illustrate his work, but Elia Kazan's frank remarks and vibrant personality keep this well-made portrait lively and interesting.
Special Feature Documentary: I'm Standin' Over Here Now: Reconsidering 'On the Waterfront' [45:00] Another strong documentary, this 2012 collection of interviews with five noted authors, editors, and film scholars covers all aspects of 'On the Waterfront,' from its earliest origins (playwright Arthur Miller first brought the idea of a longshoreman movie to Elia Kazan) all the way through the film's premiere, success, and legacy. Much attention is given to analysing Elia Kazan's character, his suspicious nature, association with the Communist party, and decision to name names. (Author David Thomson believes Elia Kazan blossomed artistically in the years following his testimony, noting "Being a better artist sometimes means being a worse human being.") We also learn about the real-life figures upon whom some of the characters are based, screenwriter Budd Schulberg's extensive first-hand research, how the film delicately strives to advance civil rights, and how the naturalism of 'On the Waterfront' impacted actors and their profession. All the major performances are meticulously examined, as well as the striking cinematography and the movie's "acute sense of place." Though somewhat static visually, this is nevertheless an absorbing and informative documentary that no fan of this classic should miss.
Special Feature Interview: Eva Marie Saint [11:00] Still beautiful at age 88, Eva Marie Saint sits down to reminisce about 'On the Waterfront' and her experiences making her debut film in this 2012 interview. She recalls her initial nerves, her chemistry with Marlon Brando, and how, contrary to popular belief, the famous glove scene resulted from a mishap that occurred during rehearsal and not during shooting and was recreated on screen. Eva Marie Saint considers Marlon Brando and Elia Kazan the best actor and director with whom she ever worked, and describes how the scene in which she and Brando are pursued by a speeding truck ended up being more realistic (and frightening) than Eva Marie Saint anticipated. She also compares Elia Kazan's directing style to that of Alfred Hitchcock, who guided her through 'North by Northwest,' in this wonderfully nostalgic and sincere conversation.
Special Feature Interview: Elia Kazan [12:00] In this 2001 interview with film critic and historian Richard Schickel, the director lauds the 'On the Waterfront' screenplay as "perfect," and says of the movie as a whole, "This was as close [as I ever came] to making a film exactly the way I wanted it." Elia Kazan remembers "hanging out in Hoboken" to absorb the attitudes of the dock workers and meeting a real-life prototype of Terry Malloy; how producer Darryl F. Zanuck, despite his penchant for socially conscious pictures, refused to bankroll the production; and how eventual producer Sam Spiegel drove writer Budd Schulberg crazy with script revisions, but the two rose above the antagonisms to create a terrific work. Elia Kazan admires the uncanny manner in which Marlon Brando could balance brutal toughness with a delicate tenderness, and confesses the iconic cab scene that features the immortal line, "I coulda been a contender," was basically self-directed by Marlon Brando and Rod Steiger. Elia Kazan always has a very kinetic presence, and here, even at age 92, he's as clear-headed and feisty as ever.
Special Feature Documentary: Contender: Mastering the Method [25:00] 'On the Waterfront' was the first film to fully showcase method acting, and this 2001 feature scrutinises the famous taxicab scene between Marlon Brando and Rod Steiger that epitomises the philosophy. Critic Richard Schickel, TV host James Lipton, actor Martin Landau, Marlon Brando biographer Patricia Bosworth, author Jeff Young, and Rod Steiger himself analyse the scene from every angle, discussing its slapdash shooting, various nuances, Brando's inherent insecurities, Rod Steiger's anger over having to shoot his close-ups with a stand-in (Marlon Brando was dismissed early that day so he could see his shrink), and the basic tenets of "The Method." Rarely does any single sequence from any film deserve such attention, but this one does, and this piece honours it to the fullest.
Special Feature Interview: Thomas Hanley [12:00] 'On the Waterfront' employed many local Hoboken non-actors, and Thomas Hanley was one of them. He portrays young Tommy Collins, the tenement boy who helps Terry tend his rooftop pigeon coop and becomes disillusioned when Terry turns snitch. In this revealing 2012 interview, Hanley looks back at his experiences, recalling how he lived in the building where much of the movie was shot, how he was cast, the embarrassment he felt about acting in a film, the familiar Hoboken locations, and how Kazan purposely antagonised him to provoke emotion. He also shares his fond memories of Brando, and details his 50-plus-year tenure as an actual longshoreman (he joined the ranks at age 16, just two years after 'On the Waterfront' premiered) and the corruption that existed then and continues to this day. With candour and insight, Hanley provides another unique perspective that enhances this enduring classic.
Special Feature Documentary: Who Is Mr. Big? [26:00] Author and waterfront expert James T. Fisher chronicles the fascinating real-life history behind Elia Kazan's film. We learn how Irish immigrants dominated the port and made it their "fiefdom," creating a hierarchy that both protected and exploited the workers, and how the self-regulating system hinged on a code of silence that brushed nefarious deeds and illegalities under the rug. James T. Fisher also discusses the birth of the waterfront priest, the explosive public hearings generated by a series of Pulitzer Prize-winning articles by Malcolm Johnson (which inspired Budd Schulberg to write his screenplay), and links historical figures, such as Father Pete Corridan, Joe Ryan, and Bill McCormick (the prototype for the mob boss seen fleetingly after Terry's testimony), to their fictional counterparts in the movie. (Terry Malloy is a composite of many characters Budd Schulberg encountered during his exhaustive immersion in the longshoreman culture.) Though conditions have improved on the docks over time, Fisher explains how the workers ultimately refused to end the corruption when they had the chance, allowing the Johnny Friendly's of the world to reclaim their position of power despite the efforts of Terry Malloys and Father Barrys. This 2012 documentary is another first-class offering from The Criterion Collection that provides essential background and context necessary to fully understand and appreciate 'On the Waterfront.'
Special Feature Video Essay: Jon Burlingame on Leonard Bernstein's Score [20:00] The legendary composer only wrote one film score during his storied career, and it was for 'On the Waterfront.' This absorbing video essay examines the "ground-breaking" nature of the music through the three major themes and how they complement the action and dovetail during key moments. We also learn Leonard Bernstein played jazz piano during the bar scene; both Elia Kazan and Budd Schulberg complained about the score, but respect it; and possible reasons why Bernstein didn't win the Oscar for his work. Film clips and stills illustrate the various points and engender additional admiration for the potent and moving music.
Special Feature Documentary: On the Aspect Ratio [5:00] This fascinating documentary examines the multiple aspect ratios of 'On the Waterfront' and how cinematographer Boris Kaufman shot the film using the "shoot and protect" technique to allow it to be exhibited in various formats. Examples of each ratio are shown, along with a discussion of their respective pros and cons. Cine aficionados will definitely want to check this one out.
Theatrical Trailer [3:00] The original preview for 'On the Waterfront' touts the picture's greatness, but also amusingly terms its story "as warm and moving as 'Going My Way' (but with brass knuckles!)." What advertising hack wrote that ridiculous copy?
BONUS: A stunning booklet featuring an essay by critic Michael Almereyda, entitled "Everybody Part of Everybody Else." We get a reprint of Elia Kazan's 1952 advert entitled "A Statement" in the New York Times defending his testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee. One of the 1948 New York Sun articles by Malcolm Johnson, entitled "Ryan, President Of Ila, Denies Lawlessness On City's Press [Says There Is No Racket]" on which the film was based. Finally, we have a 1953 piece by screenwriter Budd Schulberg entitled, "Waterfront Preist" that was printed in the Commonweal Magazine.
Finally, The Criterion Collection's Blu-ray edition of 'On the Waterfront' easily leads the pack in the race for 2013's best classic release. Elia Kazan's scorching study of blue-collar corruption and the lone wolf who dares to break ranks and expose the mob's dirty deeds remains relevant, riveting, and deeply affecting almost six decades after it first wowed its way to eight Oscars�, including Best Picture. Like the best films, it satisfies on many levels, kicking us in the gut, tugging our heart strings, and forcing us to think about and reflect on a variety of substantive themes. It also inspires unabashed admiration for the sheer talent on display in front of and behind the camera. From the opening frames straight through to its brutal and inspiring finish, 'On the Waterfront' proves its way more than a contender; it's one of Hollywood's truly great films, and an absolute must own, as it is the ultimate version you will ever have and I am so proud and honoured to have this in my ever increasing The Criterion Collection Blu-ray Library Collection. Very Highly Recommended!

The arrest of an alleged concentration camp guard in the US on Thursday marks a sea change in Germany's legal approach to the prosecution of members of the dwindling number of war criminals who participated in the Holocaust, the Simon Wiesenthal Center stated on Thursday.Speaking with The Jerusalem Post, Dr. Efraim Zuroff, the center's chief Nazi hunter, said the arrest of Johann Breyer, a Pennsylvania resident, was significant in that it marked a shift in the burden of proof required for a successful prosecution.The retired tool-and-die maker, born in Czechoslovakia, is accused of joining the Waffen SS at age 17 and later serving as a camp guard. He moved to the United States in 1952. Germany is pressing for his extradition.Germany has issued a warrant for his arrest, US Magistrate Judge Timothy Rice said, at Breyer's court appearance in US District Court in Philadelphia.He was the subject of deportation proceedings in the 1990s when his attorneys argued he was a natural US citizen because his mother was born in Philadelphia.They also said that Breyer had been coerced into joining the SS.According to Zuroff, Germany would not previously have been interested in going after Breyer, as "evidence of a specific crime against a specific victim" was required. Evidence of service in a camp was deemed insufficient. However, after the successful 2011 conviction of Sobibor guard John Demjanjuk, the evidentiary bar was lowered, Zuroff said, explaining that the case paved the way for a more vigorous approach to prosecuting Nazi crimes."For almost 60 years, any person the prosecutors wanted to prosecute, they had to prove that the person had committed a specific crime against a specific victim, and in many cases that was quite hard to do, and many people in a sense got off the hook because of this requirement," Zuroff explained.Reacting to Breyer's arrest, Zuroff said that "this is a whole new ballgame" and that the results of the precedent set by the Demjanjuk trial have been "very dramatic."German prosecutors, he continued, "have already announced that they are recommending prosecution in 31 cases of people living in Germany, of Auschwitz guards, another seven were found outside of Germany, and 20 guards from Majdanek – so this is more suspects that have been brought to justice in Germany than there have been in decades.""We're very pleased that Germany has adopted this strategy, it has totally changed the legal landscape as far as Nazi war criminals go," Zuroff said, adding that the Simon Wiesenthal Center will continue investigating and passing names of suspected war criminals on to German authorities.

Worlds End
World's End was once an island, but is now a gorgeous property maintained by the Trustees of Reservations. Landscaped by Frederick Law Olmstead, it consists of approximately 250 acres of paths, meadows, woodlands, and seascapes. It juts out into Boston Harbor, and the Boston skyline is visible from many places. This was my second visit here, and I could not have asked for a better day.
View this in larger sizes if possible.
Wow! Great shot!! I must make it my mission to go there next time I am in Boston! Excellent photo!!!
It has been on my list of places I really want to visit. There was a Kelby walk there this year and I was intrigued but never made it. Once lived just south of there. Intend to go back. Distortion is not bad given the wide angle. Looks beautiful.
This isn't a wide-angle shot; it's a panorama made from 8 separate images.
I was just looking into visiting this place erlier today! Enjoy getting to see the photos.
I love this place too-what a fabulous photo ! An infinite sky over that blue water--what a delight
This is great Liz. Love it!

Obama congratulates Israel`s new President-elect
Washington: US President Barack Obama has congratulated Reuven Rivlin on his election as the next President of Israel.
"Over more than six decades, the United States and Israel have developed a unique relationship based on shared democratic values, our unshakable commitment to Israel`s security, and our partnership in scientific research and innovative technology," Obama said in a statement yesterday.
"President-elect Rivlin has a long and dedicated record of public service and we look forward to continued strong ties, to the benefit of both our nations, under Mr Rivlin`s presidency," he said.
"As President Shimon Peres nears the end of his term, he can look back on a remarkable legacy of courage, conviction, and compassion," Obama said about Peres whose term ends next month.
"He has dedicated his extraordinary life to the cause of peace, and I look forward to welcoming him in Washington later this month where he will receive the Congressional Gold Medal," said the US President.
The House Democratic Whip Steny H Hoyer too congratulated the new Israeli president.
"With a long record of leadership in the Knesset and as an advocate for a strong and secure Israel, President-elect Rivlin will surely bring to his new role many important qualities that will continue the Presidency`s mission to promote accountable government and represent Israel around the world," he said.
"As Israel continues to seek a secure and peaceful future for its region, the United States will continue to stand by our strong ally," he said.
"I look forward to working with President-elect Rivlin to advance our nations` shared goals, and I join as well in congratulating President Peres on successfully completing a term in office that has been the capstone to an incredible career devoted to serving his nation, advancing the cause of justice around the world, and working tirelessly to promote lasting peace," Hoyer said.
Rivlin will be sworn-in on July 24.

I always look for good reviews when choosing companies to work with, or to purchase from. I was impressed by the 5 out of 5 score that The Smarter Web Company had from their reviews. Now they have built my website for me, I can see why they get five stars. They are all fantastic people to work with and nothing is to much trouble. The MD is always available, often until quite late. I would have no hesitation in recommending The Smarter Web Company to you if you are thinking of creating a website for your business.

Cindy Church, roots queen, tries out jazz and sadness
Country chanteuse shows off a spare new sound at Hugh's Room on Oct. 18.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Cindy Church is talking context, about how she thinks she's been heard and understood from the past 30 years — and the big changes she has in mind.
"I was back in Nova Scotia" — she's originally from Bible Hill, N.S., talking about contexts — "and after dinner some guitars came out and there was singing and I realized singing sad songs make me happy. So I made a list of my favourites. I wanted to do an album with no apologies."
Sad Songs Make Me Happy, her first solo album in 16 years and fourth all told, is introspective and personal by anyone's measure with its soul-search jazz standards and with Fred Rose's "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain," a hit for Willie Nelson. It includes "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning" recorded most famously by Frank Sinatra at his most existential.
So the album should redirect our thinking about the pristine country queen who has backed Ian Tyson or is one-quarter of Quartette, the all-star all-female group with Sylvia Tyson, Caitlin Hanford and Gwen Swick who replaced the late Colleen Peterson. Sad Songs leaves Church alone in the spotlight with her talent and feelings revealed.
"I was always known as a country artist and I loved that part of me," Church says while preparing for Sad Songs' live debut Oct. 18 at Hugh's Room. "But I felt I had to tailor my albums so that they could be sent out to country stations. Well, I'm now 54 years old. I don't have to do that anymore."
If Canadian country singers were novelists Church would be their Alice Munro. Like Munro, Church is something of a perfectionist, pitch-perfect in everything she does from her understated singing to her choice of material going a far back as Love on the Range, her debut album.
The problem for Church and Tyson alike is that country music, at least the kind churned out now by Nashville, has refused to mature. "Country music is more and more trying to compete for the youth and pop market," Tyson explains.
Tyson's own answer last year was to publish Joyner's Dream, a sprawling novel with characters and situations enough to fill a half-dozen country albums. Church's answer came when she remembered the music listened to in her tiny Edmonton apartment while she worked with Ian Tyson then later with guitarist Nathan Tinkham and mandolin player David Wilkie in the Great Western Orchestra.
"I had a huge record collection and as I listened to them I was introduced to Billie Holiday," says Church in reference to the defining American jazz singer who died in 1959. "I flipped. I had never heard anything before like her approach to singing, how she played with melodies using her voice as another instrument. It opened up my ears, my eyes and my mind to songs I wanted to sing."
Singing jazz was never entirely alien to Church, though. Over the years she performed a tribute to American songwriter Hoagy Carmichael called The Nearness of You. "It's always made sense to me to be a country singer and sing (jazz) songs too," says Church. "You just approach them differently. The standards I do on the new album have a softer, breathier approach as opposed to country. The album is pretty much live, too, with just me and (guitarist) Rob Piltch. That's how it is when I'm touring, basically just me and a guitar player. So I'll be able to reproduce what the album sounds like.
Cindy Church is at Hugh's Room October 18, 2012 at 8:30 p.m. Peter Goddard is a freelance writer. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com
