The CinePearl Take
On the Waterfront is a classic-era English film that blends crime, drama and thriller — expect cops, criminals and shifting loyalties and human relationships at the centre of the story. Elia Kazan directs and the script comes from Budd Schulberg. Fred Gwynne and Michael V. Gazzo are among the leads. Made in United States, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring English-language films. Released in 1954, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 108 minutes, it is a comfortable evening's watch.
