Marlon Brando in “On the Waterfront”, directed by Elia Kazan, 1954 Posted on September 25, 2016 by Matthew 0 Marlon got an Oscar for this performance, the movie got Best Picture, and Elia Kazan got Best Director. No offense to Mr. Kazan, but I think Best Director that year (1955) should’ve gone to Alfred Hitchcock for “Rear Window”.
