Teignmouth Film Society Presents: On The Waterfront

Teignmouth Film Society: On The Waterfront

Once again, we are happy to be hosting Teignmouth film Society for a showing of this epic film.

With his electrifying performance, Marlon Brando altered the cinematic landscape.

Dockworker Terry Malloy (Marlon Brando) had been an up-and-coming boxer until powerful local mob boss Johnny Friendly (Lee J. Cobb) persuaded him to throw a fight. When a longshoreman is murdered before he can testify about Friendly’s control of the Hoboken waterfront, Terry teams up with the dead man’s sister Edie (Eva Marie Saint) and the streetwise priest Father Barry (Karl Malden) to testify himself, against the advice of Friendly’s lawyer, Terry’s older brother Charley (Rod Steiger).

Certificate American A

Doors (and bar!) open at 7pm for an 8pm screening and everyone is welcome. Tickets are only available on the door – so we hope to see you there!
