It's been a while since I wrote my last blog as all the ones from this year so far were saved and written in 2010. On the Waterfront stars Marlon Brando as Terry Malloy who witnesses the murder of  Joey Doyle. He then gets interested in his the victims sister, Edie (Saint) who tries to make him tell the truth about the murder. But The murderer is Terry's boss: John Friendly (Cobb) who has had everybody else who told Father Barry (Malden) anything about the murder killed.

On The Waterfront is dated but it is still a good film. I got confused with the plot a bit but by the end I knew what was going on.

***Okay
