Terry Malloy dreams about being a prize fighter, while tending his pigeons and running errands at the docks for Johnny Friendly, the corrupt boss of the dockers union. Terry witnesses a murder by two of Johnny's thugs, and later meets the dead man's sister and feels responsible for his death. She introduces him to Father Barry, who tries to force him to provide information for the courts that will smash the dock racketeers.
A very interesting movie with a good cast. I'm glad I'm starting to watch more Marlon Brando movies as I can understand why everyone enjoys his work so much. He just had this presence on screen that few have. I was kinda tired while watching this so that might be why I didn't give it a higher rating but one day I'm sure I'll watch it again. Good performances by Marlon Brando, Eva Marie Saint, and Karl Malden
