The Garment Jungle (1957)
Alan Mitchell (Kerwin Mathews) returns to New York to work for his father Walter (Lee J. Cobb), the owner of a fashion house that designs and manufactures dresses. To stay non-union, Walter has hired Artie Ravidge (Richard Boone), a hood who uses strong-arm tactics to keep the employees in line. Alan sides with union organizer Tulio Renata (Robert Loggia) and his young wife Theresa (Gia Scala), much to Walter's displeasure. But through his son's experience Walter realizes that Ravidge is out of control.
Movie was started by Robert Aldrich who prepared the film and hired the cast (which includes many of his regulars) but ran into script resistance from his star Lee J. Cobb. Cobb didn't like the way Aldrich was "hardening" his character and the shoot was an unhappy one. Aldrich fell sick five days before completing the shoot, and was replaced by Vincent Sherman – who proceeded to re-shoot scenes for a full nine days, presumably softening the Walter Mitchell character. Sherman didn't want screen credit but Harry Cohn gave it to him anyway.
