Product Description
Mathews, a Korean war veteran joins his widowed father's garment company and learns his father, played by Cobb, is in love, and that he must pay "protection money" to a union-busting thug. The son tries to get the father to change his mind about unions, but Cobb won't listen to him. This leads to disastrous consequences.

Unionbusting in NYC's garment district August 15, 2008
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
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.
