    9. Historical Context Based on an article in the New York Sun by Malcolm Johnson called “Crime on the Waterfront.” Won the Pulitzer prize in 1949 Was filmed on location in Hoboken, New Jersey Based on the whistle blowing longshoreman: Anthony DiVincenzo

    10. testified before a real-life Waterfront Commission on the facts of life on the Hoboken Docks and had suffered a degree of ostracism for his deed DiVincenzo recounted his story to screenwriter Budd Schulberg during a month-long session of waterfront barroom meetings — which some[who?] claim never occurred Karl Malden's character of Father Barry was based on the real-life "waterfront priest" Father John M. Corridan In 1952, director Elia Kazan was a witness before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), in which he identified many alleged Communists in the film industry. That brought him severe criticism. The original screenplay (called "The Hook") was written by renowned playwright Arthur Miller, who was questioned by the HUAC. He was replaced by Budd Schulberg, also a witness before HUAC.[1]

    11. On the Waterfront is widely considered to be Kazan's answer to his critics for naming names There could be nobility in being an informant Miller wrote the play “A View from the Bridge” as a different perspective to naming names Standing up for what is right Won eight Oscars: Picture, Director, Actor, Supporting Actress, Screenplay, Editing, Art Direction and Cinematography It is considered to be one of the greatest films of all time
