Of course, all traditional narrative films try to make the cuts invisible and create the illusion of a continuous space. But here particularly that illusion is connected to the ethos of a community, the illusory comfort of D 'n D and the embrace of the group.
An appreciation of the editing of this film, which is possibly the most influential film that Milford edited. - Gallagher, John A. (). „Ralph Rosenblum”. În Pendergast, Tom; Pendergast, Sara. International Dictionary of Film and Filmmakers, Edition 4. St. James Press. ISBN 978-1-55862-449-8. OCLC 44818539.
After cutting a short-lived TV series, The Search, Rosenblum and Sid Katz set up their own editorial service, and were joined by veteran editor Gene Milford, for years the chief editor at Columbia Pictures. Their company, MKR films, became quite successful cutting spots, promotionals, industrials and corporate films, TV pilots, and the acclaimed TV series Omnibus and the popular Guy Lombardo Show. It was truly a wonderful training ground, and Rosenblum was frequently called upon to transform a shapeless mass of footage into a coherent whole.

Milford had to understand the changing role of acting in American film. After a career of cutting more conventional actors, and a more mannered Hollywood style of performance, the editor working with Kazan learned how to apply the right editing strategy to sustain and capture the method style of On the Waterfront.
LoBrutto discusses the editing of On the Waterfront in terms of the transition between styles of acting, with the earlier style reflecting the persona of the actor, and the successor "method" style reflecting an interpretation of the character. - McBride, Joseph (). Frank Capra: The Catastrophe of Success. Univ. Press of Mississippi. p. 362. ISBN 9781604738384. Discuții referitoare la montarea filmului Lost Horizon. Vizionarea prealabilă a primei versiuni a filmului de către publicul din Santa Barbara fusese un dezastru, iar montajul ulterior a făcut ca versiunea finală să fie foarte diferită.
- Piper, Jim (). Get the Picture?: The Movie Lover's Guide to Watching Movies. Skyhorse Publishing. p. 63. ISBN 9781581150810. Piper a folosit o secvență din filmul On the Waterfront pentru a ilustra tehnica montajului. În timpul discursului preotului catolic local către docheri, Milford a combinat imaginea preotului și reacțiile ascultătorilor.
