The story behind the making of one of the greatest films ever created. Elia Kazan, was the genius behind On the Waterfront, one of Hollywood’s most timeless and unforgettable films. Less than 108 minutes long, Waterfront would win ten Academy Awards, gross over $100 million dollars and define Kazan’s career. But he was a causality of his time and a victim by his own design. And s a result, it all happened in less then 48 minutes. It happened at the worst possible time. It always does. Elia Kazan, an artist who had always sought greatness and approval, was riding higher than he had ever dreamed he could. His screen production of "A Streetcar Named Desire" and his Broadway presentation of "All My Sons" and "Death of a Salesman" had earned him a fortune, given him his much sought after fame and made him a living show business legend.
Then it all collapsed around him. He named names before the House Committee on Un-American Activities, effectively telling the committee what it already knew; the names of writers, director, producers in Hollywood who were members of the Communist Party or who had expressed sympathy with the Communist view. Until the day he died, he claimed that this one small act, in a long and glorious career, had brought him peace of mind but the truth is, that 48 minutes before a ancient government microphone in a dimly lit room, would torment him for the rest of his days. Kazan would remain a man haunted by the ghosts and conflicts of his past that were as real as they imagined, a man who used those images to create his greatest work, On The Waterfront, a masterpiece film based in an iconoclastic political essay whose artistic message is still being heard, still being debated, still evoking emotions and passions.

On the Waterfront The Making of a Great American Film edition by John William Tuohy Marguerite RainerSkala Humor Entertainment eBooks Reviews
Great item and transaction!
While the behind the scenes story of the making of this great film is interesting, it was the most poorly edited book I have ever read. It is filled with misspellings, contradictory facts, bad grammar, and just plain sloppy typesetting. Even the index is a joke. I thought at first that it must be a high school term paper, but, lo and behold, this "author" has many books to his credit. I only hope the other books are better edited than this one. For film buffs, this is not the book to read. The author is more interested in the union racketeering and HUAC witch hunts than how the film was made. It becomes more evident when you see that the author has penned numerous other books about the crime syndicates, etc. How did this book ever get into publication in this state?
I don't know what "terrymc" meant by saying "it was the most poorly edited book I have ever read." I definitely disagree with him. The book is fine! It has a lot of interesting stories which takes you through movie making process. I found some really helpful explanations in this book. I would definitely recommend it to anybody who likes the film!
I love this movie! It's one of the best american crime drama ever! It won so many Academy awards that I'm not surprise that people would like to read a book about it also!
Thank you John Tuohy for this book. I absolutely enjoyed reading it! And I know people who likes the movie without doubt will find interesting to read about movie making process. I think the author has done a great job!
A classic film and and fascinating inside tour of the filming...
