The police know that he's been responsible for a number of murders, but witnesses play deaf and dumb ("plead D & D"). When Father Barry receives a beating from Friendly's goons, Terry is persuaded to cooperate with the commission.
Criterion's release of ON THE WATERFRONT is the best treatment that this film rightfully deserves. There are three different restored versions of the film presented in their respective ratios. Plus there's loads of extras. It's like a personal Home Film Study course of a true American classic. Stark filmmaking at it's best! Even though I didn't buy the Blu-ray version as originally intended, the standard version still looked great in my Blu-ray player. I can only imagine what the Blu-ray discs looked like!
