This 1954 movie is not only a great movie in its own right, and a permanent record of one of Marlon Brando’s most indelible and influential performances, but it occupies a slot this year in the particular cinematic history of New Jersey. This year, 2014, marks the 350^th anniversary of New Jersey’s founding as an American colony – and On the Waterfront plays a part in the history of the Garden State’s film and TV history. It was set in Brooklyn, and filmed in Hoboken.
