After viewing it again
I just watched On the Waterfront yesterday. I remember reading that if they couldn't get Brando they were going to get Sinatra to play Terry Malloy. Nothing against Sinatra as an actor, I thought he was great, but he was wrong for this part. I raised the question on here of why Sinatra was considered and not other actors like Montgomery Clift. After viewing the movie again, I don't think anyone but Brando could play Terry Malloy.
