1. Born and raised in greenwich village and in 1962 transplanted to the ILGWU Co-Op which is between 8th and 9th Ave. and from 23rd St to 29th St. I grew up around everything garment district and fur district..

   My 2 uncles were both in the wholesale fur trade.

   My grandmother and her four sisters were all ILGWU and one of them sewed boxing gloves for Jack Dempsey. Met Mr. Dempsey once at his restaurant on Broadway. This movie is one of the most accurate depictions of the garment district and the industry itself.

2. The perfect actor in ever movie he was in 100 percent Lee j. Cobb

3. Well, this one weathered pretty well. Thank you sir. Nice explanation for paying cheap wages.

4. Shoulda let Sam Fuller direct it.

5. There were certainly some great looking actresses throughout the movie, starting with the models.

6. The information above is nice. But a little plot summary might be helpful.

7. Funny how they won't use the word "Mafia" in this movie.

8. Richard Boone! My father used to watch "Have Gun. Will Travel".

9. I THOUGHT THE MIAMI GARMENT DISTRICT WAS THE BIGGEST GARMENT DISTRICT IN THE U.S.

10. DANIEL BOONE'S GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDSON RICHARD BOONE WAS A MEAN HOMBRE IN THIS MOVIE.

11. Pro union propaganda basically, pro union guys are heroes do no wrong the ones against it are evil criminals

12. I enjoyed it. It's a good black and white movie, but the script was, as someone already noted, very predictable. The naive father's actions (Lee J. Cobb) irritated me at times, as did some of the some of the actions of the son. In particular, the son saying his father kept books about his dealings with Richard Boone to Richard Boone near the end of the movie at such a dangerous time for the son just didn't make sense to me.

13. Why did he tell him what he had on him? Silly boy.

14. I think WISEGUY took this idea for the Jerry Lewis episodes. Terrific Flick.

15. While I have no doubt there were leg breakers fighting the unions, ANYBODY who thinks the union organizers didn't have their mobbed up leg breakers is living in a dream world.

    Far as I'm concerned, this movie was just Union propaganda.

16. 16:19 I got my eyes on you. You’re everything that I see, I want your hot love and emotion. Endlessly.

17. Wow – great film!

18. Thanks! A very heavy and good movie.

19. Lee J. Cobb is a force of its own, what a presence! GREAT movie, indeed!

    Some decades later an actor named Ronald Reagan finished what Artie Ravage had startet and perished the Unions starting with the air traffic controllers.

    Today the US&A is de-industrialized (and Europe is on its way of being ghat, too) and well-paid work-jobs have all but vanished.

    Anyone calling this progress? 👎💩🤮

20. Great movie!!

21. good film

22. The actress that plays the wife Robert Logia looks like Shannon Doherty. Cloning in Hollyweird? Lol

23. I absolutely love Lee J. Cobb movies

24. 2:29 I can't stop thinking about you.

25. A masterpiece movie.

26. ONLY, THING GOOD, ABOUT, THIS MOVIE IS LEE J.COBB AND RICHARD BOONE!!!!!!!! THANKS UPLOADER.

27. Great movie, Thank you for sharing.

28. I would have liked to have watched this film but the volume is so low and who wants to read captions. You could turn the sound up but don't seem to care. If it were too loud for some we can turn it down on our end but at full volume iI still strain to hear. So bye with a dislike.

29. This is typical propaganda the unions and the mob were one and the same. As usual Hollywood has always been used to push a narrative. And the sheeple of the world fall in line. Now don't get me wrong unions were great at first but with any kind of power comes corruption. After they got children out of factories and got a 40 hour week there usefulness was over.

30. Great movie, truly enjoyed it. Thanks!

31. Good one Chris! Thanks!

32. Would have been better if Arnold Swartzbonker and Silly Stallone were there!

33. Excellent movie. Truly depicts the garment district in NYC and the politics of that era.

34. A script rather predictable, except for the end, but very, very well realized.
    Excellent actors, great scenery, perfect copy, who can ask more ?
    Thanks to Chris T for sharing this gem I didn't know at all.

35. Unions are necessary to fight back against arrogance and corruption. On the other hand the downsize are the ignorant slobs who take advantage of Union rules, and make it hard for the Real workers of any business.

36. Yes, Great shows, great acting that touches my heart ❤ Thank you 👏
