Produced forty years after the movie swept the Academy Awards, the subtly modernized stage play was a call to arms for a new generation. With this rendition, Schulberg and Silverman hoped to reach young people who seemed detached from the dehumanizing effects of poverty and the exploitation of society’s most vulnerable. Set in the 1950s and featuring original protagonists Terry Malloy and Father Pete Barry, \u003ci\u003eOn the Waterfront\u003c\/i\u003e continues to stand as a masterful and uniquely American tragedy.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis ebook features an illustrated biography of Budd Schulberg including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.","brand":"Open Road Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125392818416,"sku":"9781453261811","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781453261811_p0.jpg?v=1769907556","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781453261811","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
