Event Navigation
Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Jennifer Egan introduces this outdoor screening of Elia Kazan’s classic 1954 drama On the Waterfront (108 min), which stars Marlon Brando as a boxer-turned-dockworker. Both On the Waterfront and Egan’s latest novel, historical noir-thriller Manhattan Beach, trace the crime-ridden underworld of New York and Hoboken’s shipyards in the 1940s. See how the two stories intertwine in their shared portrayal of the city’s shoreline and penetrating investigations of human nature. Before the film, join us for a happy hour outside on the Museum’s Terrace with live jazz by the Josh Levine Trio.
Movie ticket includes a drink voucher. Additional drinks and snacks available for purchase.
