I'm going to end my homage to the Late Great Karl with my favorite Malden moment...it's an especially powerful scene in one of the towering cinematic masterpieces of all time...as a crusading blue-collar priest in "On The Waterfront," Malden's Father Corrigan confronts the Mob's violent dominion over the New Jersey docks...in this particular clip, a longshoreman has been brutally murdered by the Mob after he dares to speak out against their reign...Father Corrigan's scorching eulogy rouses the conscience of Marlon Brando's Terry Malloy...

Just superb...
