This is a dark, violent and gritty look at Manhattan's infamous garment industry during the era of unionization...pickets, violence, the whole shebang. The general story is about a business right in the heart of the garment district run by two partners, one who wants to allow unions in and one who doesn't. The one who does meets with "an accident". This is a business that largely paid by piece work and the workers wanted benefits and a better live-able wage which is why they wanted to unionize.
The remaining boss' son comes home and slowly finds out that his father has partnered with this completely violent and amoral man to keep the unions out.
Interesting footage of some real life which is overshadowed by some of the violence. The real breakout performance was given by Gia Scala, who plays the wife of a union organizer.
Tough but worthwhile film noir.
