    On the Waterfront: Cheese-eating, HUAC, and the First Amendment Jeffrey M. Shaman Constitutional Commentary. 20.1 (Spring 2003): p131. Copyright: COPYRIGHT 2003 Constitutional Commentary, Inc. http://www.law.umn.edu/constcom/index.html The early 1950s were a bleak time for freedom of speech and association in the United States. Witch hunts, black lists, and loyalty oaths were the order of the day. The Supreme Court, in a relatively docile state of mind, went meekly along, acquiescing to congressional subpoenas, investigations, compelled testimony, and laws making it a crime to belong to the Communist Party. Out of these tools of repression an astounding work of art was spawned--a movie entitled On the Waterfront. Winner of eight Academy Awards, including best motion picture of 1954, On the Waterfront is one of the greatest movies ever made. In the prestigious, though controversial, survey conducted by the American Film Institute in 1998 to select the 100 best American movies of the first 100 years of movie-making, Waterfront was ranked number eight. Even at that lofty status-top ten on the all- time list, certainly, is nothing to sneeZe at--On the Waterfront may have been denied its fair share of acclaim. Lingering resentment of its director, Elia KaZan, for his Great Betrayal in 1952, may have cost the movie who knows how many votes among the Hollywood insiders chosen by AFI to cast ballots. Indeed, just a year before the survey, AFI had refused to honor KaZan with a lifetime achievement award, despite his superlative record as a film director.

The 24 articles won Johnson a Pulitzer Prize, and coupled by the April 1948 murder of a New York dock hiring boss, awakened America to the killings, graft and extortion that made up everyday life on the New York waterfront. The protagonist Terry Malloy's fight against corruption was in part modeled after whistle— blowing longshoreman Anthony DiVincenzo, who testified before a real— life Waterfront Commission on the facts of life on the Hoboken docks and was to a degree ostracized for his deeds.

  • The Art of Elia Kazan Geoffrey Jacques Film Director, Playwright
    Promises, Trust, Betrayal: The Art of Elia Kazan Geoffrey Jacques Film director, playwright, and novelist Elia Kazan (1909-2003) led a storied, even legendary career. During his seven decades in public life he was much honored and much vilified, yet his work, particularly in film, has helped shape the stylistic, thematic, and ethical concerns of the genre. His work in the movies was in part driven by a group of ethical concerns that allowed him to explore a wide range of social issues without explicitly triggering his era’s left-right ideological discourse. His films sidestepped this discourse while simultaneously drawing from it in order to pursue concerns that seem to have interested him as much, and perhaps even more, than the significance of the social problems he used as the basis for his movies. These concerns have to do with the ethical dimensions of promising, trusting, and betrayal. J. Hoberman has remarked that betrayal is a prominent theme in the movies Kazan made after his 1952 testimony before HUAC (House Un-American Activities Committee),1 but betrayal was actually a thematic element from his earliest films, beginning with A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, his first feature, and they played a constitutive role throughout Kazan’s career. Without theorizing about how these themes “developed” over his career, we can see they have been with him always, forming a kind of scaffolding on which he built his movies. Kazan was born in Istanbul into an Anatolian Greek family that immigrated to the United States when he was four years old. He attended Montessori school and had Catholic catechism lessons, graduated from Williams College, and attended Yale Drama School before embarking on a career as an actor and was associated for several years with the Group Theater, founded by Harold Clurman, Cheryl Crawford, and Lee Strasburg.

  • On the Waterfront Reviews
    Still a Contender Guilt, self-justification, and Brando's career performance in Kazan's 50-year-old classic By J. Hoberman Tuesday, Oct 26 2004 !!!! Re-released on the occasion of its golden anniversary, On the Waterfront is the supreme success story of '50s Hollywood—eighth on the AFI poll of the "greatest American movies," ahead of Schindler's List but behind The Graduate. And like many cult films, it is also less than the sum of its parts. To whom does this triumph belong? Elia Kazan's Oscar-winning direction? Marlon Brando's career performance as the ex-boxer, longshoreman bum Terry Malloy? The three Stanislavskians who support him, Lee J. Cobb, Karl Malden, and Rod Steiger? Screenwriter Budd Schulberg's pungent dialogue and didactic speechifying? Producer Sam Spiegel's willingness to bankroll a project turned down, per Schulberg, by "every studio in town"? Leonard Bernstein's moody clarion-call score? The polished grit of Boris Kaufman's open-air Hoboken cinematography? The historical moment that was the summer of 1954? In karmic terms, On the Waterfront had the enormous good fortune to open only weeks after the nation's leading anti-Communist and reigning demagogue went down for the count in the televised Army-McCarthy hearings. But it is thanks to Brando that this posthumous Popular Front classic is a heart-clutcher from beginning to end. The greatest and most influential actor of post-war Hollywood, Brando would here redefine movie stardom with the eloquence of his strangled inarticulation ("one glorious meathead," per Time). The scene of scenes, in which Terry reproaches his smarter brother (Steiger) for selling him out, is the most triumphant expression of failure in American movies.
