Review: In "On the Waterfront," author explores the possibility of classic film without Marlon Brando
Briefly

Brando's performance combined brute-force naturalism with raging interior life and elevated his star power, transforming movie acting in 'A Streetcar Named Desire'.
Kazan's decision to name names before the House Un-American Activities Committee destroyed lives and careers, creating tension with Brando, who hesitated to work with an informer.
In 'On the Waterfront', Brando's portrayal of Terry Malloy was tragic and poetic, reflecting his intense interior struggle, and became a hallmark of American cinema.
Rebello's book provides a detailed narrative on 'Waterfront's making, enriched by insights from Eva Marie Saint, highlighting the film's legacy and Brando's technique.
