W.O.W #35

On The Waterfront! OMG! Talk about a classic! One of the most heralded and most alluded to performance of all times! THE textbook method acting performance!

Wow! TWO AFI listers this week!!

Ah Elia Kazan Orson Welles' favorite director 😉. Movie about a snitch made by a snitch.

Billy DuBose

Where do I submit a movie choice on the wheel thing here?

I wish Hollywood executives were more inclined to make movies like this again. Fresh, smart, raw. Phenomenal screenplay, acting and directing. We need movies like this again… and was there ever an actor as handsome as Marlon in his heyday? The man really had it all back then…

We get good movies out of the W.O.W. spins.

Wow indeed! Score! Marlon!

Dynamite film selection!! What a treat! Lots of familiar faces all up and down the cast of this one. Already seen on the channel: - Eva Marie Saint in North by Northwest (1959) - Lee J. Cobb (Friendly) and Martin Balsam (the shorter Crime Commission investigator, whom you recognized from Psycho (1960)), the two of them were in 12 Angry Men (1957) - Fred Gwynne (the young, tall, lanky henchman with the long face) was the Judge in My Cousin Vinny (1992). - EDIT: Have we seen Karl Malden before? I failed to mention him on the first version of this comment, but he was a solid rock of a character actor in his day. See Gypsy (1962) and Patton (1970), among a host of others. For those of us who were children of the 1950s, other familiar faces abound: - Rod Steiger (brother Charley) would hit big with In the Heat of the Night (1967), as well as oddball turns like the musical Oklahoma! (1955) and as Napoleon Bonaparte in Waterloo (1970). - Leif Erickson (the taller police investigator) starred in a great Western TV series, The High Chapparal (1967-71). I could name other names, but they wouldn't mean much unless you're another child of the 50s. Speaking of oddball turns, Brando, besides hard-edged roles like The Godfather (1972) and The Wild One (1953), sometimes turned in a softer-edged performance in such films as the musical Guys and Dolls (1955) and A Countess from Hong Kong (1967). He even appeared as Mark Antony in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar (1953). Some of that oddity may have been studio-boss mandated, particularly in his early years, but some was just Brando being Brando, as in The Missouri Breaks (1976), a highy eccentric outing for him, very self-indulgent I think.

On the Waterfront truly is a masterpiece. I put it in my my top five films of all time. I think it has been about fifteen years since I last saw it, but it still has the same profound impact on me. OTWF excels in portraying the timeless theme of the principled struggle of the disadvantaged against the corrupt and powerful with artistic brilliance in all facets of filmmaking. It is an example of what can be achieved when a talented group of filmmakers have a genuine ambition to bring something really great to the big screen. Loved the reaction Ames!

I've been waiting to crack open the seal on my new Criterion disc of this film for months in anticipation of this reaction. So satisfying. I think I need a cigarette.
