When you watch this scene or even this movie, do NOT look past the amazing music by Leonard Bernstein. It is the secret sauce to make this movie an absolute classic, including the scene in the back of the car with Steiger.
I always hated how his co-workers let him down and get the shit beat out of him. It actually holds true, as many people are scared to unite and will do nothing when someone is being harassed or bullied.
The tough guy on the right at 2:53. Fred Gwynne aka Herman Munster. He grew up with a well off family going to school at Groton but he was a radioman in the U.S. Navy in WW2 on a subchaser. Fred was 6'6". Great scene with amazing acting by Brando and Lee J. Cobb.
The origin of this story is a series of articles written in winter of 1948 by Malcolm Johnson, for the New York Sun newspaper. The articles won a Pulitzer Prize. It would be interesting to read those articles, to see how much of Budd Schulberg's story was original or derived from the articles.
The movie ends with Brando entering the warehouse and the men following Terry inside. The priest and the woman smile because Terry is proving to the men every one has the right to work. The shape up was unfair because men were hired on a daily basis and they had to kick back a percentage to the big boss. The guy in the door way says " All right !" "Let's get to work "! Johnny Friendly is upset and yelling at the men: "Where are you going?!! " "Where are you going???!!!!" "I'll be back!" It means to him nothing has changed on the waterfront. He's still the big boss and things will remain the same. The men ignored him because they know they cannot be cowed by the thugs anymore. Terry has given them hope. The warehouse door closes as the men go to work. It shut's off Johnny Friendly's screaming and acts as a barrier to a new life. The music of Leonard Berstein's plays and that's the end of the movie.
The irony is it won't last long. It's a temporary setback. The goons and Friendly or another thug will be running the waterfront. Just like President Trump managed to stand up to the corrupt politicians but in the end, like rats, they scuttle back by dishonest methods. People are beginning to see.
It's got nothing whatsoever to do (in reality) with "the Capitalist system" LOL. If you think a Socialist or Marxist system is any better (or would ever be), you're dreaming @@hoomanhosseini8299
Amir khan movie Ghulam is copied from this movie. I can't imagine how dishonest and copycat is our Bollywood film industry. Seriously disgusting. Why did we see Ghulam then? These old movies should be uploaded in you tube so that we can see them. Thank you so much for uploading this gem💎 🙏❤🥰
Except for certain segments of the score (sound track) this would have been the perfect movie. Without the sound track, it's still the perfect movie. Filmed in black and white, the perfect script, not a single curse word, stellar acting by the major players and even the bit players. "I love everything about this movie, you heah me?

Elia Kazan, the director, was a member of the Communist Party for several years before making this movie. Long story short, he became disillusioned by the Party, and eventually left it, but not without naming the names of those he worked for. In the context of the movie, replace the dock union leaders (i.e. Johnny Friendly) with Communists, and Terry with Kazan. If you want more information, I recommend you watch this: ruclips.net/video/ZOtinTlx7yo/видео.html
Bud Shulberg the writer and Kazan both stood up to the Commies in Hollywood and named names rightly so. Modern brainwashing says there wasn't an attempt of the Commies to take over Hollywood in the 50s. There most certainly was. Sad part is they finally succeeded at the turn of this century.

Lee J. Cobb; riveting here.......but Brando's line..."..am I on my feet?"...is memorable!
“I’m standing over here now!” *underrated line*
This is a movie about redemption Terry finally became somebody.
Defintley
Amazing performance by Brando, with strong support from Steiger, Cobb, Malden and Saint.
Not only an outstanding film but an historical documentary at the same time...
Aka, a anti-Union, propaganda piece.
@@fshoapsmobs did run many unions during those times, so quite accurate
Everyone is singing Brando's praises, and rightfully so, but when it comes to method acting, Lee J. Cobb was right up there with him. Damn!
I was just thinking the same thing! What a talent.
If you want another sample of Cobb in all his raging glory, see "Twelve Angry Man". They really don't make 'em like they used to: ruclips.net/video/0jxVnlRdelU/видео.html
@@ArkyMalarkey Yeah. Tremendous
also Cobb as Doc Tobin in Man of the West
"Stop breathing that clam sauce on me!"
This was Brando's best.
It was a great character movie thst was also about something.
I love when old Pop pushes Friendly into the water 😂
Back when Great Movies were worth watching .

1950's prime time Brando's looks is one of kind. Its like Greek/Roman sculpture.
6:43
Always loved this moment. He wasn’t going to lay down anymore for Johnny friendly.
I always hated how his co-workers let him down and get the shit beat out of him. It actually holds true, as many people are scared to unite and will do nothing when someone is being harassed or bullied.

Great scene with amazing acting by Brando and Lee J. Cobb.
We watched and analyzed this in English class. No regrets and great movie!
THEY DON'T MAKE 'EM LIKE THAT ANY MORE , 😑
What an awesome production!

@@paulaharrisbaca4851 the whole capitalist system is corrupted, unfair and anti-humanistic, no matter who is the president
The priest n woman's expression wasnt up to Marlon's ending scene..
It's got nothing whatsoever to do (in reality) with "the Capitalist system" LOL.
If you think a Socialist or Marxist system is any better (or would ever be), you're dreaming
@@hoomanhosseini8299
the writer had the most courage of anyone
“Take away them heaters and you’re NOTHIN’”
I wish I could act like Brando! And the rest of those guys!
You could if you work hard at it.
Fred Gwynn, as one of Johnny Freindly's boys. great movie.
Great actor!
Herman Munster as a goon?
Or officer Muldoon?
Brando two best performances on the waterfront and the godfather
'They're dusting off the hot seat for me!' 😂
My grandfather played Specs
Magnificent,
Wished it included the last 2 mintues
Why does the clip end right before the ending?
Why would you cut it off there? The clip is 8:27 so it has nothing to do with length.
right
I did it. I cut the clip short.
Tough shit. Deal.
This is how it was done on the docks.....Alright let's go to work !!!!!!
You stopped it right before the end??! Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!😖
OUTSTANDING FILM.🇬🇧
When i watched On The Waterfront for the first time I started laughing my head of like all the workers when Lee J. Cobb fell in the water
Jake lamotta favourite movie
Marlon Brando actor legendary 🎭
Best
Theatre 🎭
🕯
Una delle sequenze del cinema: grande Rod Steiger, meraviglioso Marlon Brando!!!
Wonderful.
2:34 that punching of his...
Marlon might be a great boxer irl if he didnt pursue acting imo
The studio got some ex-boxer to give him a few lessons I'll bet. He was throwin some pretty good hooks to the body!
@@mikecinquen he loved to spar with fighters and actors.
@@scottodonnell7121Got his nose broken 1 time, doing that with Jack Palance.
J10062021. Marlon Brando el Actor mas famoso del Mundo. Gran Actor.
Brando was unreal
Forever Brando!
Truck was a real fighter 2 ton Tony galento
Good on you to pick up on that
When John Friendly calls for help..... down comes Two Ton Tony Gallente to do the rough stuff!!! He moyderd da bum! LOL!!!!
John Friendly was getting his kicked by Terry. Then he got his goons to jump Terry. It takes a big man to do that.
When Two Ton Tony comes at you watch out
5:30 wasted.
That's a young Noam Chomsky at 1:38.

Imitation is the vest form of flattery. It's a great story and deserves to be made more accessible to other, new watchers.
How movies used to be
Pat Hingle’s first movie role.
Except for certain segments of the score (sound track) this would have been the perfect movie. Without the sound track, it's still the perfect movie. Filmed in black and white, the perfect script, not a single curse word, stellar acting by the major players and even the bit players. "I love everything about this movie, you heah me?

You cannot. Cut that scene short.
by , acts . Sorry for the typo errors
Why'd you cut it off?
Filmed 3 blocks from my alma mater. Church still looks the same in parts from the inside
LEE J. COBB.. THE EXORCIST
John Friendly
Ghulam 1998 hindi movie so much lifted from On the Waterfront 1954... The dockyard part seems to have inspired Deewar .
But aamir was excellent
Adopted story was good
And Amir was icing on sugar
Did Marlon put tape around his eyes?
seriously? Cut off before "Let's go to work"?
Cobb's backup is a group of Joe Louis victims.
Tami Murrillo, Tony Galento, and Big Abe Simon
Munster a mobster
The movie might be about redemption but this shit RUclips clip sowing the cut short ending is all about selling babies’ nappies!
Exact scene in Hindi Bollywood movie Ghulam
Jesus(Terry) carrying the cross for a lot of men right there.
This was based on a true story does any one have any further information please

The "Villian" podcast just did a great piece about Johnny Friendly and this movie in general.
@@robertwiegman1 latest victim of McCarthyism
Donald Trump is Johnny Friendly.

Who was the commie here?
More like Trump was Terry
