Great performances all around. Taxi scene with Brando and Steiger vies for best scene ever.

Brando's best. Once again Lee J. Cobb could have been just as great with a little less bellowing. A guy that menacing and powerful would not have to yell at all.

Brando should have stayed at this weight. His I coulda had class, I coulda been a contenda... talk kayoes Olivier's Hamlet.

Arguably the best acting performance in the history of American cinema Marlon Brando plays Terry Malloy with such vigor it's impossible to stop watching. His intensity is equalled only by the delicacy in his performance, particulary in the classic scene with his brother Charlie. This film about guilt and redemption is up there with the greatest films of all time.

Not one of my all-time favorites, it is an acting powerhouse. You do feel for Brando with the whole "I coulda been a contendah" angst. Another movie, like High Noon, where the loner tries to fix a broken community. The first time you watch it it will be hard to turn it off.

I don't like saying this because I really like the movie AND Brando, but I think that One The Waterfront is a tad overrated. It probably deserves 5 stars, but I'm giving it 4, cause it's good. Not Great! but good. The American Film Institure put it as #8 in their top 100 list. I would rather put It's A Wonderful Life if they want a classic. I would have On The Waterfront in the top 100 though, just not top 10 or 20. Brando though reinvented acting, with a truly brilliant performance with passion and sadness. The music is beautiful as well.

This is the BEST movie I have ever seen. The film was perfect. I am schocked that the film isnt ranked at least 10. The film had a fantastic ending and end. I can't think of one reason why someone would not like this movie.

Good music, great photography, Marlon Brando and Karl Malden at their best,talking about traitors a subject very fragil but very good for a man like Kazan that lived persecutions,the best film of Elia Kazan
