ON THE WATERFRONT (Kazan, 1954) Criterion Collection Blu-ray

Description: Criterion Collection 2-Disc digipak Blu-ray of ON THE WATERFRONT, the 1954 Best Picture-winning classic directed by Elia Kazan and featuring an iconic, Oscar-winning performance by Marlon Brando. The story of failure and corruption and even betrayal among longshoremen also netted Oscars for Kazan, screenwriter Budd Schulberg, and Eva Marie Saint. Though they all ultimately lost, Rod Steiger, Karl Malden and Lee J. Cobb received Oscar nominations as well in the supporting actor category. This edition is particularly valuable as it contains the film in three separate aspect ratios (1.66:1, 1.85:1, 1.33:1), owing to the shifting from Academy to widescreen presentation - while still protecting for both - that was occurring in American cinema of the time. There are also many, many special features in this package. Some of these include an audio commentary by Richard Schickel and Jef Young, a conversation between Martin Scorsese and Kent Jones, a 1982 hour-long documentary on Kazan, a new documentary on the film, a new interview with Eva Marie Saint, a 2001 interview with Kazan, a visual essay on Leonard Bernstein's score, a piece on the real-life people and places behind the film, a handsome booklet with new and vintage writing and more. It's a reasonably definitive release of one of the all-time Hollywood classics. Free USPS media mail shipping is included in the price. It will be packaged securely and sent in a bubble mailer.
