The politics here, as envisioned by Kazan, have not aged well, as he seems to be arguing a moral equivalence between informing on organized crime and naming names in front of HUAC. It's icky to ignore the context here, but the movie as a self-contained work is absolutely masterful. Brando is such a live wire, but I also appreciated Eva Marie Saint's raw, tenacious performance. (Also shoutout to the background cast of union mobsters, which have the meanest set of mugs this side of the Sopranos.)
