Building on his Academy Award-winning screenplay of the classic
film, Budd Schulberg's On the Waterfront is the story of
ex-prizefighter Terry Malloy's valiant stand against corruption on
the New Jersey docks. It generates all the power, grittiness, and
truth of that great production, but goes beyond it in set and
setting. It is a novel of strength and fallibility, of hope and
defeat, of love and betrayal. In his Introduction, Mr. Schulberg
writes: "The film's concentration on a single dominating character,
brought close to the camera eye, made it esthetically inconvenient,
if not impossible, to set Terry's story in its social and
historical perspective...suggesting the knotted complexities of the
world of the waterfront that loops around New York."
