On The Waterfront film locations
Film locations: New Jersey
On The Waterfront location: Hudson Park, Hoboken, New Jersey
Elia Kazan’s drama of mob rule among the longshoremen’s unions was made on location on the waterfronts of Hoboken, New Jersey (the birthplace of Frank Sinatra, the original choice to play Terry Malloy).
On The Waterfront location: Karl Malden's church: Our Lady of Grace Church, Willow Avenue, Hoboken, New Jersey
The piers and warehouses are long gone, and Hoboken is now a squeaky clean middle class suburb, but some of the movie’s locations remain.
On The Waterfront location: Marlon Brando and Eva Marie Saint walk in the park: Hudson Park, Hudson Street, Hoboken, New Jersey
The church interiors were filmed at Our Lady of Grace Church, 400 Willow Avenue, though the park in front of the church is Stevens Park, four blocks away, in front of St Peter and St Paul Church, 404 Hudson Street – used for the exterior shots.
