You remember that night in the Garden, You came down to my dressing room and said: 'Kid, this ain't your night. We're going for the price on Wilson.' You remember that? 'This ain't your night!' My night! I coulda taken Wilson apart! So what happens? He gets the title shot outdoors in the ball park - and whadda I get? A one-way ticket to Palookaville.... You was my brother. 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.... 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 (pause) ...... It was you! [YT]l0waNRaz6wU[/YT]
Thanks for posting that! For my money one of the best movies ever made. The book and the screenplay written by Budd Schulberg, one of the best writers to ever put pen to paper; I'm rereading his, "The Harder They Fall," right now, another classic. Hard to imagine anybody doing a better job than Marlon Brando as Terry Malloy, but Frank Sinatra did lobby long and hard for that role, had even signed for it, before Kazan found out that he could get Brando. Sinatra, as many of you know, was a good actor for a singer, had grown up around those docks in Hoboken, and knew those guys firsthand, unlike the Nebraska born and bred Brando, and it's interesting to think what he may have brought to it.
