He won't. I thought they was gonna talk to him I thought they was gonna talk to him and get him to dummy up I figured the worst they was gonna do was lean on him a little bit He wasn't a bad kid, that Joey. Two of the thugs make a joke about the 'squealer' who has threatened to 'sing' to the crime commission and break the waterfront's unspoken code to be 'D and D' Deaf and Dumb :. In the street, a shocked crowd gathers around Joey's body. One of the neighbors, Mrs.
Collins Anne Hegira knows this was no accident: "Same thing happened to my Andy five years ago Everybody knows that. Don't say nothin'. Keep quiet. You'll live longer. In the rough waterfront bar where some of the patrons watch a prizefight on a TV above the bar, Big Mac James Westerfield the waterfront hiring boss, brings beer-drinking Johnny Friendly a thick wad of bills, revealing union racketeering, corruption, strong-arm tactics and payoffs: "Here's the cut on the shape-up.
Eight hundred and ninety-one men at three bucks a head, that's, uh, - twenty-six seventy-three We got a banana boat at 46 tomorrow. If we could pull a walk-out, it might mean a few bucks from the shippers. Them bananas go bad in a hurry. As a man in his 30s who is exploited like a pawn by others, ex-prizefighter and has-been Terry knows that he owes his waterfront career and livelihood to Johnny Friendly, head of the racketeers, and to his brother Charley, although he was forced to take a 'fall' in a boxing fight.
But he also realizes that he is dull-witted and inarticulate, and not even capable of accurately counting a wad of bills. Big Mac good-naturedly comments on Terry's lack of education:. The only arithmetic he ever got was hearing the referee count up to ten. But Terry is hot-tempered, and reacts harshly to the criticism. Charley excuses his brother's a-typical behavior: "It's just the Joey Doyle thing.
You know how he is. He exaggerates the thing. Just too much Marquis of Queensbury. It softens 'em up. Johnny raises his voice and explains how he became head of the local union and continues to maintain a lucrative but illegal operation. He also calmly rationalizes to Terry about the death of Joey Doyle - a waterfront dockworker who might have threatened the entire business:. When I was sixteen, I had to beg for work in the hold. I didn't work my way up out of there for nuthin' You know, takin' over this local took a little doin'.
There's some pretty rough fellas in the way. They gave me this he displays an ugly scar on his neck to remember them by And that's just for openers.
We got the fattest piers in the fattest harbor in the world. Everything moves in and out - we take our cut You don't suppose I can afford to be boxed out of a deal like this, do ya? A deal I sweated and bled for, on account of one lousy little cheese-eater, that Doyle bum, who thinks he can go squealin' to the Crime Commission?
My night! I coulda taken Wilson apart! So what happens? He gets the title shot outdoors on the ballpark and what do I get?
A one-way ticket to Palooka-ville! You was my brother, Charley, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money. Charlie : Oh I had some bets down for you.
You saw some money. Terry : You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it. It was you, Charley.

While most movies at the time were filmed on studio stages, On the Waterfront was filmed on location, mostly in Hoboken. Many Hoboken residents played extras or even minor characters.

Many Hoboken residents left their imprint on the film. Most were non-speaking extras who silently added their presence to various scenes. Others had more recognizable or unique roles. Corridan , a Jesuit priest who operated a Roman Catholic labor school in Manhattan and fought corruption and exploitation of longshoremen. Friendly also had aspects of Albert Anastasia , an underboss and later the boss for the Mangano crime family that ran the Brooklyn docks, later the Gambino crime family.
Several Hoboken residents played extras in the film. When he went to investigate, he found men setting up a pigeon coop for a movie they were making. The movie was filmed in 36 days around Hoboken. The shacks along the pier, as well as the warehouses and bars, are long gone, but their legacy lives on in the film.
