Originally, the book was titled simply Waterfront. It was
no simple novelization of the film, "that bastard word for a bastard byproduct
of Hollywood success," as Budd Schulberg states in his Introduction in the 1987
edition. The book was compared to the works of émile Zola and Theodore Dreiser
by the critics because of its use of the 'naturalist style.' The naturalist
school featured detailed realism, that in this case, suggested that social
conditions, heredity, and environment had inescapable force in shaping the
characters that populate books. The critics, after all the awards, praise, and
kudos the film received, were surprised that there was still so much to say than
a 90 minute movie could suggest.
Originally inspired by a 24-part series of articles in the New York Sun by Malcolm Johnson, called "Crime on the Waterfront," Budd Schulberg wrote a long piece for The Saturday Evening Post, titled "Father John Knows The Score." Schulberg took an unorthodox approach to writing the screenplay by not spending a month or two, but literally years absorbing the unique atmosphere of the New York Waterfront. He hung out at the west side Manhattan and Jersey bars that were the unofficial headquarters of the waterfront racketeers and Irish and Italian "insoigents." He spent nights drinking beer with longshore families in their $26.50 a month railroad flats. Along the way he interviewed longshore union leaders and the outspoken labor priests from St. Xavier's in New York's Hell's Kitchen, one of which the book is dedicated to; Father John Corridan described as "a rangy, ruddy, fast-talking, chain-smoking, tough-minded, sometimes profane Kerryman." it's a welcome antidote to the stereotypical Barry Fitzgerald, Bing Crosby "Fah-ther" that Hollywood was so fond of. Father Corridan's speech was a unique blend of Hell's Kitchen and baseball slang and he expressed an encyclopedic knowledge of waterfront economics and man's inhumanity to man. This maverick priest was the Father John of Schulberg's article for The Saturday Evening Post. Schulberg was surprised to find that just a few blocks west of comfortable watering holes like Sardi's there was this entire world that the rest of Manhattan didn't know existed.
Schulberg's 'escort' or protector, and his cover was one of Father John's most staunch adherents, Little Arthur Browne, Brownie as he was known. Brownie was one of the standup "insoigents" in the Chelsea local run by the fat cats and their "pistoleros." Brownie was probably the model for Runty Nolan of the book and Kayo Duggan of the film. Browne had been beaten up, had his nose flattened by "the cowboys" -the local union enforcers--been thrown through a skylight and even tossed in the river unconscious, all things that Runty endures in the book. Schulberg got most of the local dialect that he would write into the screenplay as well as the novel during Runty and his forays into the local bars which were, in places, ten to a block.
Schulberg had discussed with director Elia Kazan his research into the waterfront, and Kazan urged him to write a screenplay,One of the most durable and attractive styles of flooring that you can purchase is ceramic or porcelain tiles. which was thrown back in Schulberg and Kazan's faces by one of Hollywood's leading moguls. So, he set out after this to write a novel when some smarter Hollywood mogul accepted the screenplay. The film was made after a few changes to the script, and the rest, as the saying goes, is history. The film was an astounding success. Filmed over 36 days on location in various places in Hoboken, New Jersey, including the docks, workers' slum dwellings, bars, littered alleys, and rooftops.Black gemstone beads is one of the most gorgeous treasures in the world. People are fascinated by its varied colors as well as impressed by its natural and simple quality and tones. Black gemstone, as mysterious as it is, continues being favored and pursued by many people. Furthermore, some of the labor bosses' goons in the film--Abe Simon as Barney, Tony Galento as Truck, and Tami Mauriello as Tullio--were actual former professional heavyweight boxers. Terry Malloy's (Brando's) fight against corruption was in part modeled after whistle-blowing longshoreman Anthony DiVincenzo, who testified before a real-life Waterfront Commission on the facts of life on the Hoboken docks, suffering a degree of ostracism for his deed.
The historical context of the film and the book are rooted in the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) which was established from the ashes of 19th century labor unions that organized dockworkers. In 1895, the ILA grew to adopt the Chicago (Great Lakes) Longshoremen's Union ideals as a model, and encompassed all of the U.S. and many Canadian longshoremen. By the turn of the 20th Century they become affiliated with the American Federation of Labor (AFL).We recently added Stained glass mosaic Tile to our inventory. By 1916, the ILA had become based in the Port of New York, which took in all of the harbor shore, including New Jersey. In 1918 Joseph Ryan became the president of the ILA's "Atlantic Coast District, and was later elected International president in 1927; it is he that the character of "Weeping" Willie Givens is based. Under Ryan's leadership, the ILA had become corrupt and was affiliated with Mafia characters such as Albert Anastasia and the Irish gangs. By the late 1920s, Anastasia had become a top leader of the ILA, controlling six union local chapters in Brooklyn. The character of Tom McGovern in the film and movie were modeled on the mobster Anastasia and the like, and Anastasia's Murder Inc. also figures promptly in both. Under the mobsters were the local union bosses, such as the Johnny Friendly of the story.
These corrupt men ruled "the greatest harbor of the greatest city of the greatest country in the world" and they ran it like their own private grab-bag. After the largely successful 83-day 1934 West Coast longshore strike,If you want to read about buy mosaic in a non superficial way that's the perfect book. Pacific coast longshoremen--who had rebelled against Ryan's leadership, first organizing the membership to reject the contract that Ryan had negotiated, then leading the strike over his objections--voted to secede from the ILA and join the Congress of Industrial Organizations as the International Longshore and Warehouse Union.
