Description

[Machine Translation] Marlon Brando's masterpiece! Elia Kazan (A Train Named Desire) and Marlon Brando re-teamed for this social drama that won eight Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor at the 27th Academy Awards. This 1954 Horizon Productions film was directed by Sam Spiegel ("The African Queen"). It was adapted by novelist Bud Schulberg from Malcolm Johnsson's "Crime at the Wharf" (serialized in The Sun newspaper), which depicts the reality of the wharf in Cordova under the control of a corrupt boss, and directed by Elia Kazan of "The Tightrope Man" fame. The film was photographed by French-born Boris Kaufman, with music by Leonard Bernstein. Starring Marlon Brando (Rampage), the film also co-stars newcomer Eva Marie Saint, stage actor Lee J. Cobb (The Road to Conquest), Karl Malden (The Unspeakable Man), Rod Steiger, and others. --The offshoremen working at the docks in Cordova are ruled by the violence of Johnny Friendly (Lee J. Cobb), a vicious boss who runs the saloon. One night, one of the Okinakushi was conspired to murder Johnny. The direct culprit was Johnny's henchman Charlie ( Rod Stiger ), but Charlie's brother Terry ( Marlon Brando ), also a member of Johnny's crew, was also behind the murder. The case is about to be swept under the rug, much to the chagrin of Father Barrie ( Karl Molden ), a righteous dockside priest, and Edie ( Eva Eva Marie Saint ), Joy's sister. The priest is eager to find the culprits, but Johnny and his gang are not happy about it and attack the church. Idi, who was just there, was saved from danger by Terrii. She suspects that Teri may have had something to do with her brother's murder, but she is drawn to him by his unexpected innocence, and their feelings gradually grow closer and closer until Teri's heart leaves Jonii's gang. Then, in broad daylight, another murder of an Okinakashi occurred. Terrii followed Father Baly's advice and confessed the truth about the incident to Idi. Charlyi, under orders from Jonii, threatened Teri'i not to reveal any secrets to him, but he did not listen. Terrii visited Idi at his apartment and made love to him fiercely. But when they narrowly escaped an attack by Johnny and his gang, they found Charlii dead. Outraged, Terrii went to Johnny's bar alone, but he was nowhere to be found. Soon after, Johnny and his gang were questioned in court about the two murders. Teri testified to his crimes. When Teri appeared at the wharf the next morning, he was boycotted by his fellow Okinawans as a coward. Teri'i rushed into Johnny's stronghold and beat him, only to be beaten half to death by his own henchmen. Teri'i, however, stood up with all his might and walked into the midst of the Okinakashi. The workers saw Teri's true courage. Father Baly and Idi looked at Teri'i with bright faces as she walked to her workplace at the head of the workers.

波止場 / 洋画

マーロン・ブランド珠玉の名作! 『欲望という名の電車』のエリア・カザン監督とマーロン・ブランドが再タッグを組み、第27回アカデミー賞で作品賞・監督賞・主演男優賞など8部門に輝いた社会派ドラマ。『アフリカの女王』のサム・スピーゲルが1954年に製作したホライズン・プロ作品。悪徳ボスに支配された紐育の波止場の実態を描くマルコーム・ジョンスンの探訪記事『波止場の犯罪』(サン紙連載)を小説家のバッド・シュールバーグが脚色し、『綱渡りの男』のエリア・カザンが監督した。撮影はフランス出身のボリス・カウフマン、音楽はレオナード・バーンスティンの担当。主演は『乱暴者』のマーロン・ブランドで、新人エヴァ・マリー・セイント、舞台俳優リー・J・コッブ『征服への道』、カール・マルデン『語らざる男』、ロッド・スタイガーらが共演する。 ――紐育の波止場に働く沖仲士たちは、酒場を経営している悪らつなボス、ジョニイ・フレンドリイ (リー・J・コッブ)の暴力によって支配されていた。ある夜、沖仲士のひとりジョイが謀殺された。直接の犯人はジョニイの子分チャーリイ (ロッド・スティガー)であったが、チャーリイの弟でやはりジョニイの一味であるテリイ (マーロン・ブランド)も片棒をかついでいた。事件は波止場の正義派バリイ神父 (カール・モルデン)やジョイの妹イディ (エヴァ・エヴァ・マリー・セイント)の痛憤をよそに闇から闇へ葬り去られようとしていた。神父は犯人の発見に躍起となり、それを快く思わないジョニイ一味は教会を襲った。ちょうどその場に居合わせたイディは、危いところをテリイに救けられた。彼女は、テリイが兄の謀殺に関係があるのではないかと疑ったが、彼の意外な純真さに惹かれ、2人の気持ちは次第に接近しそれとともにテリイの心はジョニイ一味から離れて行った。そこへまたまた、白昼、沖仲士が1人殺される事件が起きた。テリイはバリイ神父の忠告に従って、イディに事件の真実を告白した。チャーリイは、ジョニイに命じられて、テリイに一切の秘密を口外するなと嚇したが、彼は聞き入れなかった。テリイはイディをアパートに訪れ、激しく愛を求めた。しかしジョニイ一味に襲われて2人が危くのがれたとき、屍体となったチャーリイの姿を見つけた。テリイは憤慨して、1人ジョニイの酒場にのりこんだが、そこにジョニイの姿はなかった。間もなくジョニイ一味は、2つの殺人事件について法廷で尋問された。テリイはかれの犯罪事実を証言した。翌朝波止場にあらわれたテリイは、沖仲士仲間から卑怯者としてボイコットされた。テリイはジョニイの本拠にのりこみ、彼を打ちのめしたが、自らも子分たちの暴行をうけて半殺しにされた。しかしテリイは渾身の力をふりしぼって立ち上がり、沖仲士たちの中へ歩いていった。沖仲士たちはテリイの真の勇気を知った。労働者たちの先頭に立って仕事場へと歩を進めるテリイを、バリイ神父とイディは明るい顔で見送った。
