Marlon Brando’s Oscar-winning performance as Terry Malloy, a discouraged boxer navigating the corrupt world of his dockworker union, is one of the star’s most unforgettable achievements, with his powerful taxicab scene with Rod Steiger (as Terry’s brother) considered one of the all-time great showpieces of screen acting. The film also marked the screen debut of Eva Marie Saint, for which she won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar; the film received 12 nominations and won a total of eight Oscars, including Best Picture and Directing (Elia Kazan).

DIRECTED BY: Elia Kazan. WRITTEN BY: Budd Schulberg. WITH: Marlon Brando, Karl Malden, Lee J. Cobb, Eva Marie Saint. 1954. 108 min. USA. B&W. English. 4K DCP.
