[[Marlon Brando]] (Oscar for Best Actor) plays Terry Malloy, a young, svelte marble mouthed antihero, caught between his self-interest and his conscience. He is a former prize fighter ("I coulda been a contender"-- but never was because he was forced to throw a fight so the mob would win their bets.) Will he become an informer against the mob? Is he motivated by democracy? love? revenge? Eva Marie Saint [Oscar for Best Supporting Actress], plays the neighborhood girl who escapes from the convent school to fall in love. Karl Malden (nominated for Best Supporting Actor) is the heroic priest, the voice of conscience, calling the workers to organize and take power democratically--to do their duty for God and for their own dignity. Lee J. Cobb (also nominated for Best Supporting Actor) is the ruthless totalitarian boss who takes a liking to Brando, and showers favors and punishments, and demands kickbacks, from every longshoreman. Rod Steiger (also nominated for Best Supporting Actor) is Terry's brother Charlie, torn between payoffs and family loyalty. The powerful music was composed by Leonard Bernsetin (nominated for Best Music).
