Average Rating: 
Rating: - Unionbusting in NYC's garment district
A solid cast is featured in the powerful racket genre film, THE GARMENT JUNGLE.
SYNOPSIS-- Lee J. Cobb runs a dress manufacturing company. As the story begins, Cobb's pro-union partner "accidentally" falls to his death. A gangster (played by Richard Boone) is brought on board to try and prevent workers from organizing a union. Cobb's son (Kerwin Mathews) sees the deplorable "sweat shop" conditions of his father's business and befriends a union boss (Robert Loggia). When this man is brutally murdered, Cobb tries to distance himself from hired thug Boone, which leads to severe consequences.
TOUCH OF EVIL (with Charlton Heston, Janet Leigh and Orson Welles) is one of the best examples of late-50s film noir.
Parenthetical number prior to title is a 1 to 10 viewer poll rating found at a film research website.
