As with many older films, it took me a while to get into "On the Waterfront." But once I did, I was completely immersed in it. Marlon Brando delivers a fantastic performance as the main character, Terry, and most of the other acting is top-notch as well. At the same time, the film is an intriguing milieu study of dockworkers' lives in postwar New York, as well as the influence of corrupt and mob-controlled unions. Sre, it's all a bit of an exaggerated portrayal, but it's effective all the same. The whole film experience is rounded out by strong cinematography as well as the fitting score by Leonard Bernstein. With modern eyes, "On the Waterfront" may be a bit of a slog, but it is still a rewarding experience all the way through.
