Building on his Academy Awardwinning screenplay of the classic film, Budd Schulbergs On the Waterfront is the story of exprizefighter Terry Malloys valiant stand against corruption on the New Jersey docks. It generates all the power, grittiness, and truth of that great production, but goes beyond it in set and setting. It is a novel of strength and fallibility, of hope and defeat, of love and betrayal. In his Introduction, Mr. Schulberg writes "The films concentration on a single dominating character, brought close to the camera eye, made it esthetically inconvenient, if not impossible, to set Terrys story in its social and historical perspective...suggesting the knotted complexities of the world of the waterfront that loops around New York."
