I think that the only reason this movie is a "classic" is because it's pretty old and it has Marlon Brando in it. The tale is of a small town in which gangsters run the only real form of employment because they control the water front. One of the younger (Marlon Brando) gangsters falls for the daughter of a preacher and starts thinking maybe he should leave the gangster life behind. It's really pretty boring. The movie just didn't strike me as having that good of a plot or even good directing. The infamous scene where the daughter drops her glove and Marlon Brando puts in on was completely improvised, so really the most famous scene happened by chance. I don't recommend this movie.
2 1/2 stars
