<DIV><b>Schulberg&rsquo;s Academy Award&ndash;winning screenplay about ex-boxer and dock worker Terry Malloy, whose talent made him a contender and whose courage will make him a hero</b></div><DIV><BR>The film <i>On the Waterfront </i>garnered eight Oscars; the leading role of Terry Malloy was perhaps Marlon Brando&rsquo;s tour de force. But none of these achievements would have been possible without the explosive, inspired script written by Budd Schulberg. The story of stevedores sweating and dying for a corrupt, Mob-run union, and one former boxer&rsquo;s quixotic fight for dignity, stands among the most iconic narratives of American cinema. Deeply influenced by Schulberg&rsquo;s own reporting on New York and New Jersey crime families, unions, and the boxing world, as well as on earlier reporting by Malcolm Johnson, this screenplay represents a singular confluence of American artistry and political history.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Budd Schulberg including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author&rsquo;s estate.</div>
