My favorites...
1954: “On the Waterfront” #14 - “I coulda been SOMEbody...” Brando’s great scene. But I’ve seen it too many times.
1957: “The Bridge on the River Kwai” #1 - beautiful photography and sharp dialogue. However, I don’t like the undercurrent “anti-war”, pre-hippie message.
1959: “Ben-Hur” #1 - Some very touching scenes, one that I still remember from 60 years ago, when Jesus (you only see his shadow) gives Ben Hur something to drink. Very moving and powerful. But I think it’s too long.
Where is that other famous movie line. “Yonder lies the castle of my fodder”? (That famous Viking from Hell’s Kitchen NY. Bernie Schwartz?)
‘On the Waterfront” #14 - “I coulda been SOMEbody...”’
Wasn’t it: “I coulda been a conTENDa!”
