Waterfront

Columbia 2pak

Sony Pictures, 2004

One of the best double packs around
Unlike a lot of other bundles around, this one is actually worthwhile. Say what you like about Brando, but there was a time when he was doing something with acting that has rarely been seen since. I believe the reason Brando was so good in those early years was because ...

Martin Balsam, Don Blackman

Sony Pictures, 2001

A film of major social importance; not to mention utterly fascinating to watch...
A staple for any fan of Marlon Brando, `On the Waterfront' is much more than a showcase for the actor's immense talent. No, `On the Waterfront' is a brilliant study of oppression, power and the struggle for control, not of others but of ones self. Sure, Brando ...

Historic Travel US Visits to the Waterfront

TravelVideoStore.com, 2005

Poorly Titled But Good DVD
What the title of this DVD should make clear is that ALL of the footage comes from New York State. That doesn't bother me since I was born and raised in New York, but if you are not interested in New York, this DVD may not be for you. The best clips are of Niagra ...
