On the Waterfront
Edited on Wed Feb-27-08 06:23 PM by qwertyMike
I just watched "On The Waterfront" again (1954)

It's a tie with Casablanca

Most of the actors. writers, director (except Brando) were blacklisted During the McCarthy purges.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Lee J. Cobb, Karl Malden, Rod Steiger, Eva Marie Saint were great.

Mike

1. The director, Elia Kazan was one of the ones
who "named names" during the 50's witch hunt.
