Fathom Events, Turner Classic Movies and Sony Pictures Entertainment bring On the Waterfront (1954) back to select cinemas nationwide for a special two-day event on Sunday, April 24 and Wednesday, April 27. This beloved classic will be accompanied by special commentary from TCM hosts Robert Osborne or Ben Mankiewicz, who will provide insight, background and more, making this film come alive. The finest thing ever done by an American film actor was how director Elia Kazan characterized the performance of Marlon Brando in On the Waterfront. Screenplay by Budd Schulberg, this classic tale tells of crime and corruption among unionized dock workers in New York and New Jersey.
