PG
Elia Kazan,
108 mins,
USA,
1954,

In exploring the theme of difficult choices in an uncertain world, this student lecture highlights the contradiction between Terry Malloy's (Marlon Brando) heroic struggle against mob violence and corruption, and Father Barry's (Karl Malden) faith in collective action.
As well as looking at the innovative use of black and white cinematography, sound, characterisation and location, the lecture focuses on the film's controversial ending.
