Continues the season of films starring Marlon Brando.
Terry Malloy , an ex-boxer, protected by his brother Charlie, hangs around New York's dockland'working' as a strong-arm man for the corrupt leader of the dockers' union. When his friend is mur. dered, Terry reveals a dawning sense of personal responsibility through his love for the dead man's sister.
Marlon Brando received one of this powerful film's eight Academy Awards, for his portrayal of the man whose personal rebellion changes the tyrannical work system. The film, shot entirely on location in New York, proved one of the most influential - and controversial-movies of its decade.
