Mob-connected union boss Johnny Friendly (Lee J. Cobb) rules the waterfront with an iron fist. The police know that he's been responsible for a number of murders, but witnesses play deaf and dumb ("plead D & D"). Washed-up boxer Terry Malloy (Marlon Brando) has had an errand-boy job because of the influence of his brother Charley, a crooked union lawyer (Rod Steiger). Witnessing one of Friendly's rub-outs, Terry is willing to keep his mouth shut until he meets the dead dockworker's sister, Edie (Eva Marie Saint). "Waterfront priest" Father Barry (Karl Malden) tells Terry that Edie's brother was killed because he was going to testify against boss Friendly before the crime commission. Because he could have intervened, but didn't, Terry feels somewhat responsible for the death. When Father Barry receives a beating from Friendly's goons, Terry is persuaded to cooperate with the commission. Featuring Brando's famous "I coulda been a contendah" speech, On the Waterfront has often been seen as an allegory of "naming names" against suspected Communists during the anti-Communist investigations of the 1950s. Director Elia Kazan famously informed on suspected Communists before a government committee -- unlike many of his colleagues, some of whom went to prison for refusing to "name names" and many more of whom were blacklisted from working in the film industry for many years to come -- and Budd Schulberg's screenplay has often been read as an elaborate defense of the informer's position. On the Waterfront won Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor for Brando, and Best Supporting Actress for Saint.   These scripts are in their original standard screenplay format as typed by the writer or the studio-- none of the scripts that we offer is ever incorrectly formatted on the page.

All scripts offered are of various drafts (from early to later shooting drafts-please check the draft information above). Scripts vary from slightly different-to-major differences from the final movie. These changes are normal and certain movies may have dozens of different drafts and several writers. Also, some scripts may be slightly light in type or have darker inserted pages (produced from color shooting pages). It is not unusual to have some missing pages from the older scripts. We are careful to note the draft, writer differences from the final credited movie, missing pages, and original typed quality. We do not list any scene, name, or character changes, or any editing differences of the script vs. the final movie.   We offer 100% money back guarantee.  If you are thinking of leaving negative feedback, just email us before with your problem and we will refund 100% of your money back...without question!!      We Prefer PayPal.  Money orders and checks are accepted as well.
