Easy call for me: other
Wild River (1960)
. . . and to think I wouldn't have seen it a few years ago if the print for Alphaville had arrived on time.

"A Streetcar Named Desire"
Marlon Brando. Vivien Leigh. Kim Hunter. Karl Malden.
All giving legendary performances. Leigh won Best Actress. Hunter won Supporting Actress. Malden won Supporting Actor. And Brando should have won Best Actor.
"On the Waterfront" is a definite classic, but I have always been much more affected by "Streetcar."

That sounds like kind of an intriguing story, sundog...
A fan of Kazan as an artist, but not as a man.

I was predictable and voted for Waterfront. But I saw A Tree Grows In Brookyln recently and was surprised by how much I like it. And I'm embarassed to admit I never knew Boomerang and A Face in the Crowd, both fine flicks, were Kazan films!
