Oscar season continues this week on Hell of a Picture with the 1955 best picture winner, On the Waterfront. Dave opens the show talking about the film’s director, Elia Kazan, and how art imitates life in the film, while Andrew tells us about Marlon Brando’s performance and the emergence of American realism in cinema. The guys talk about the movie’s veneration of the truth, original sin, and the influence of the film on Martin Scorsese. Don’t be a pigeon, a rat, or a canary. Watch Hell of a Picture and be….some kind of noble animal, I guess…a squirrel, maybe. Your call. That’s this week on Hell of a Picture.
