Trivia
A good depiction of a "sweat shop" that used the "piece work" method of pay. An employee was paid a very low hourly wage in the "piece work" system that paid by the unit. If the worker made enough "pieces" at a certain rate, they would be paid the higher of the two: the hourly rate or the rate based on the number of pieces they produced. They system encouraged employees to work fast and to not take breaks. The "piece work" system was common across the manufacturing industry until unions put an end to it.

Errores
About half way through, when the truck drives forward into the alley past the union 'picketers' towards the elevator. After they kill Tulio the truck is inexplicably turned-around (without room in the alley to turn around) and drives forward out of the alley the same way it came in.

Citas
Lee Hackett: [commenting, in a Long Island Lock-jaw accent, on clothes modeled in a fashion show] Do notice the movement in the back. It really talks. Backtalk is terribly important this season.
Buyer: Do you think that back will talk?
Lee Hackett: Even in Scranton.

Punchy Muckraking Expose

I'm in total agreement with the other reviewers here. This is a sharply-made film about a battle at a garment factory over unionization with terrific performances from Lee J. Cobb, a young Robert Loggia, and a menacing Richard Boone as a union buster. Kerwin Mathews gives only a passable lead performance, but then again his novice acting sort of fits his role as an outsider, which was necessary to give the audience a view of the garment industry from an outsider's perspective. Whether or not one scene or another was directed by Sherman or Aldrich makes little difference - the movie fits together fantastically, and has aged quite well. This movie would make a fine contrast to Paul Schrader's excellent 1978 expose movie "Blue Collar", which took an opposing negative view of the union.
