On the Waterfront - 70th Anniversary Screening
Marlon Brando plays Terry Malloy, the longshoreman who finds himself increasingly isolated when he challenges the might and power of the tough New York City dockers' Union. Rod Steiger is his elder brother, torn between loyalty to the union and his love of family. Lee J. Cobb is the powerful union boss, while Eva Marie Saint is the girl with whom Brando falls in love.
Winner of eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor (Brando), Best Supporting Actress (Eve Marie Saint), Best Director (Elia Kazan) and Best Screenplay (Budd Schulberg), this is one of the great American films of the 1950s.
The screening on Sunday 7th April will be introcuced by the cinema's manager and film programmer Mick McAloon.
