Marlon Brando, Karl Malden, Lee J. Cobb, Rod Steiger, Pat Henning, Leif Erickson, James Westerfield, Tony Galento, Tami Mauriello, John Hamilton, John Heldabrand, Rudy Bond, Don Blackman, Arthur Keegan, Abe Simon, Eva Marie Saint.
Marlon Brando gives the performance of his career as the tough prizefighter-turned-longshoreman Terry Malloy in this raggedly emotional tale of individual failure and institutional corruption. This film charts Terry's deepening moral crisis as he must choose whether to remain loyal to the mob-connected union boss Johnny Friendly and Johnny's right-hand man, Terry's brother, Charley, as the authorities close in on them.
Blu-ray Disc, widescreen (1.66:1) presentation; DTS HD Master Audio 5.1 or mono.; requires Blu-ray player.

Wow, Criterion really goes all out. submitted by lisa on July 30, 2019, 1:49pm I'm so glad they include Elia Kazan's attempted defense of his House Un-American Activities Committee testimony.
