{"product_id":"on-the-waterfront-9781566638418","title":"On the Waterfront","description":"Building on his Academy Award-winning screenplay of the classic film, Budd Schulberg's \u003ci\u003eOn the Waterfront\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of ex-prizefighter Terry Malloy's 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 film's concentration on a single dominating character, brought close to the camera eye, made it esthetically inconvenient, if not impossible, to set Terry's story in its social and historical perspective...suggesting the knotted complexities of the world of the waterfront that loops around New York.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBudd Schulberg has also written \u003ci\u003eThe Harder They Fall\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMoving Pictures\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRingside\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSparring with Hemingway\u003c\/i\u003e-all available from Ivan R.
