When I first saw this movie at eleven or twelve, I didn't understand how Marlon Brando kept getting beaten up. Karl Malden plays a priest who knocks him down with one punch, then he was barely a match for Lee J Cobb. There's no way he could have been a contender.
Elia Kazan's excuse for testifying before the House UnAmerican Activities Committee. I don't know what it tells you that he picked Marlon Brando to represent him in the movie. Any analogy between the Communist Party and organized crime was absurd
Available on the Criterion Channel, free on Tubi, or you can pay $4 and see it on AppleTV, Fandango or Prime.
