On the Waterfront
“On the Waterfront” was based on magazine articles by Malcolm Johnson; it was to be filmed in New York, partly because the locations demanded it, and partly because Elia Kazan, like Huston, Mankiewicz and Zinnemann, believed the atmosphere in Southern California was detrimental to his work.
