On the Waterfront

If I spill my life ain’t worth a nickel… And how much is your soul worth if you don’t?

1953, the New York docks are flooded with corruption; controlled by the mob, backed by big business, the church and city politics. Stirred by the beautiful innocence of Edie Doyle and the prodding of the waterfront priest, ex-boxer and fringe hoodlum Terry Malloy finds himself contending with his own conscience as he embarks on the hardest fight of his life…

The level of acting far surpassed what I imagined. Hard to believe these are prisoners. It was a very talented, moving, powerful production
