On the Waterfront came perilously close to never being produced because as Darryl Zanuck put it when he rejected the script, “Who’s going to care about a lot of sweaty longshoremen?” Zanuck could not see that On the Water­front was a natural sequel to The Grapes of Wrath and How Green Was My Valley. His rejec­tion of the script sent Elia Kazan and Budd Schulberg on a seemingly hopeless quest for a producer to make their film. Both Kazan and Schulberg had been bit­ten by the waterfront bug...Read Full Story

The film established the great Marlon Brando’s legendary status for all time and, for her outstanding performance, made a star of Eva Marie Saint. However, Karl Malden’s...Read Full Story

"It is always a problem to declare "the best" of something. Mostly if it's a book: you should judge not only the book itself, but also the moment you read it, how it knocked on your personal door and how your life was before and after it. Very difficult. I by the way didn't find this year particularly brilliant, so at a certain point I reached for a lot of masterpieces I haven't read for a long time, and I once again and more than ever felt completely in love with them: War and Peace, Hamlet...Read Full Story
