Summary:
"Need a job? Charlie Malik can find a spot for you in the dockside railyards. All he asks is that you show up on time, work hard -- and kick back part of your pay. Two laborers, (Sidney Poitier and John Cassavetes) face corruption on the New York waterfront and share a bond cutting across society's black/white divide in this gritty 'first American film mainly concerned with interracial friendship' (David Shipman, The Story of Cinema). Martin Ritt makes his screen-directing debut, launching a career of social-conscience moviemaking that includes Hud, Sounder & Norma Rae. And the powerful cast includes Jack Warden and Ruby Dee. Touch, urgent and steeped in working-class realities, Edge of the City is filmmaking with a cutting edge."--Container.
