On the Waterfront - Due Feb. 8


1954

Social realism

Black and white enhances lighting and composition. Also has to do with social realism

Director: Elia Kazan (Gentleman’s Agreement, A Streetcar Named Desire)
Screen writer: Budd Schulberg

Based on a series of articles about the corruption and labor issues on the docks longshoremen faced. These issues were not resolved.

Discuss the use of dialogue in this film. How does it enhance the theme? ( 1 page typed)
