Karl Malden 1912 - 2009
One of my all time favorite movies. A great peformance by Karl Malden as Father Barry in "On the Waterfront".
Malden won a supporting actor Oscar in 1951 for his role as Blanche DuBois' naive suitor Mitch in "A Streetcar Named Desire" - a role he also played on Broadway.
He was nominated again as best supporting actor in 1954 for his performance as Father Barry, a fearless, friend-of-the-workingman priest in "On the Waterfront." In both movies, he costarred with Marlon Brando.
"When you worked with him, he was the character," said Eva Marie Saint, who garnered a supporting actress Oscar for her role in "Waterfront." "He was the consummate actor and he loved acting. He was dear and smart. Whatever he did he enjoyed life."
Movie Quote:
...You want to know what's wrong with our waterfront? It's the love of a lousy buck. It's making the love of the lousy buck -- the cushy job -- more important than the love of man! It's forgettin' that every fellow down here is your brother in Christ! But remember, Christ is always with you -- Christ is in the shape-up. He's in the hatch. He's in the union hall. He's kneeling right here beside Dugan. And He's saying with all of you, if you do it to the least of mine, you do it to me! ...

@sour8vein00 The fable you're talking about DOES ring true! America's legislative process & economy have been hijacked by the very rich.

Best performance in the damned film. Malden was PERFECT.

Almost like fable that rings true right now, I doubt God loves greed, people need to dwell and then take action

Today (6/15/11) is the 100th birthday of Father Corridan, the real life priest who inspired the character of Father Barry, portrayed by Karl Malden. h/t Jack Fowler of NRO.
