Om denne filmen

A brutally realistic tour de force, this timeless classic is based on a series of Pulitzer prize-winning newspaper articles, chronicling the conflict between a corrupt labor boss (Lee J. Cobb) and a crusading Catholic priest (Karl Malden). Highlighting this gripping film is one of Marlon Brando's signature performances.

Vurderinger og anmeldelser

Brando is brilliant and compelling as the working class hero of the film. Authentic dialog and superb acting help reinforce the underlying messages and themes in Kazan's film. Best picture for 1954. Buy it and see why.

When I purchased the movie, it was not avaiilable right away. Quite frustrating. Moreover my refund request was denied. Not happy with Google Play.

I had heard many times in my 60 years that it was a classic but I avoided it because I wasn't a Brando fan. Finally, I watched it a couple years ago and was just floored by it. Brando is amazing. When I think about the ending it gives me chills it's so powerful. Lee J Cobb just exudes evil, greed and lust. It deals with some hard truths about us all that we don't like to face. Face it. Watch it.
