For all its great dramatic and cinematic qualities, and its fiery social criticism, Elia Kazan's On the Water Front is one of the most gripping melodramas of political corruption and individual heroism ever made in the United States, a five-star gut-grabber. Shot on location around the docks of Hoboken, New Jersey, in the mid-1950s, it tells the fact-based story of a longshoreman (Brando's Terry Malloy) who is blackballed and savagely beaten for informing against the mobsters who have taken over his union and sold it out to the bosses.--David Chute, Amazon.com The Wild One is the original motorcycle film, starring Marlon Brando as the brooding leader of a biker gang that invades a small town. The film always looked like one of those synthetic Hollywood ideas of subculture life in the 1950s, which means it looks even more artificial today. But it is an actor's piece more than anything, and to that end Brando's performance really is an important one in the context of his revolutionary reinvention of film acting during that decade. The film was directed by Lásló Benedek (Namu, the Killer Whale) and produced by the socially conscious Stanley Kramer.--Tom Keogh, Amazon.com
