Synopsis

Ramon Quintero strikes for equity of wages as well as health and safety issues, but at home, he mistreats his wife. When the men are forced to end their picketing, she joins the other women who demand to play a role, against their husbands' wishes. Written, directed, and produced by members of the original blacklisted "Hollywood Ten," this powerful, persuasive drama has earned a place on the Library of Congress's National Film Registry. This 70th anniversary edition is newly restored from original archival film elements.
