1. The story itself looks average now, but fortunately the rhythm of the film is quite good, the drama conflict is strong, the whole film is completed in one go, there is no cold spot.

2. Applause to all the actors. Needless to say, Malone, other supporting roles also performed very well, especially Lee J. Cobb, who plays the black boss Johnny Varley.

This time, "The Wharf" completely let me know This Hollywood smashing star of the year. The personal charm is radiant, the unrestrained temperament is especially charming, and the real handsome is at home.

4. Why did I see Leslie Cheung's shadow on Brando? ? strangeness.
