Easily Griffith's best performance, on a level with anybody in movies at the time. He could have been a great "serious" actor had he chosen that path and/or the opportunties been there. Wasn't this his movie debut?Patricia Neal also shines in her role. A better movie for me than The Candidate. It's shown up on TCM or AMC in the past.
I wonder if you're right about its lack of acclaim, at least in certain quarters...feelings about the "On The Waterfront" team of Schulberg & Kazan ran very deep for many years. Kazan in particular was not easily forgiven (witness the number of people in the audience at the Oscars who remained seated during the ovation he received accepting his honorary statuette).
Still, for those in the know this is a highly regarded film, well worth seeing. Highly relevant today, as pointed out.
