'On the Waterfront' at 70

  • Summary

  • “I coulda been a contender, I coulda been somebody.”

    Sophia and Nick are back to discuss another Best Picture-winning classic, On the Waterfront, which is also celebrating its 70th anniversary. Marlon Brando’s career-defining performance earned him his first Oscar and one of eight for the film. Listen as they talk about the film’s other wins and if it was (or could’ve been) snubbed elsewhere, Elia Kazan’s role with testifying to HUAC and the film’s not so subtle hints, and of course their favorite scenes, quotes, and performances. Did the Academy get it right? Which one Oscar would they award the film? Find out and comment with your thoughts!
