This film did not dissapoint. I highly recomend this to all viewers. Brando and Malden are great. The taxi cab scene is one of the most touching scenes in movie history.

If you are a Marlon Brando fan, this is a must see movie. If you wish to get a glimpse of corruption within the union ranks you may wish to see this film. Otherwise, you may wish to pass unless you are a student of film making.

I can't believe one reviewer called this movie boring. I can't disagree more. First time I watched On the Waterfront, I was so engrossed in it. I was totally oblivious to everything around me except the movie. What can you say about Marlon Brando? Awesome performance. So natural. He didn't seem to be acting. Many people are turned off by black and white films, but if there's one B & W film to see, it's this one! And the music is fantastic as well.
