SYNOPSIS

Elia Kazan’s compelling social drama was the winner of eight Academy Awards and marks one of Marlon Brando’s finest screen performances. Brando is Terry Malloy, a handsome but inarticulate longshoreman, who gets involved in a labor scandal when a fellow dock worker is murdered. He knows that the victim was killed by the oppressive labor union for squealing to a commission investigating misdoings. Terry intends to keep his mouth shut and his job safe. But when Edie (Eva Marie-Saint), the dead man’s beautiful sister, comes to town, he must choose between his allegiance to a corrupt union and his loyalty to Edie.
