Quip-trading with emcee Bob
Hope, he was the entertainment
highlight of the nationally tele-
cast show.
“Waterfront” was named best
picture of the year. It also re-
ceived awards for top actor, film |
editing, art direction, cinemato-
graphy, story and screenplay,
best direction and best support-
ing actress. And it won a [Haque
for set decoration.
The winning movie was con-
ceived by director Elia Kazan,
writer Budd Schulberg and pro-
ducer Sam Spiegel. But it was
turned down by two- major com-
panies. Then Columbia volun-
teered to release it and it was
produced for the comparatively
small budget figure of $780,000.
Eva Marie Saint, who supplied
the romantic interest to Brando’s
punchy pug in “Waterfront,” was
named best supporting actress
for her first film role. She was
gowned in maternity dress and
exclaimed happily at New York’s
Center Theater:
“I’m so happy I may have my
baby right here.”

cars this year, bringing his all-
time total to 24.
“I know now why he always
drives here in a truck,” com-
mented Hope.
“Three Coins in the Fountain”
was named the best song and
“The High and the Mighty” the
best music score. This brought
a satiricaf thank-you speech from
Dimitri Tiomkin, who said: “I
want to thank all my collabora-
tors, Johann Strauss, Richard
Strauss, Brahms, Beethoven Mo-
zart and George Gershwin.”
The Academy, via an honorary
award, partially rectified one of
its most grievious oversights. It
made a special award to Greta
Garbo “for her series of lumin-
ous and unforgettable perform-
