Off The Waterfront
18 June 2021
If there's such a thing as a parallel universe, this is the campy, boring, egregious version of Kazan's classic. It's all here: A gang named Stompers and a gang named Diggers. They're unrealistically entwined with non-union dockworkers versus the alternative.

There's the quintessential, immigrant parents of the male lead. There's the stereotypical, female love interest. There's even the pre-pubescent kid that gets the plot rolling in the first 15 minutes.

Robert Blake has a minor role. I'm so sorry Hell Town was canceled.
