Waterfront is Water-logged

On The Waterfront (1939)

Starring: Marlon Brando, Karl Malden Directed by: Elia Kazan Rating: UR Genre: Classics Other

Review Marlon Brando is uneven as a former boxer with a speech impediment in this overlong soap opera set in "New York." Karl Malden is a police detective with a broken nose. Director Kazam seemed confused by the material, which may have worked in more experienced hands - where was Vicente Minelli? Extras include commentary which seems almost wholly comprised of excuses for poor performances, etc.
