观众心声
阶级调和片，一切责任全在黑手套今黑帮分子。结局是union和新生代进步主义老板团结一致搞生产促发展。过程中，同情union的合伙人被黑帮干掉，工会的骨干被叛徒出卖被干掉，老一辈资产阶级怕事情闹大想甩掉黑手套也被干掉（这里老板的惊讶明显是粉饰，岂有老板只是交保护费而不知道黑帮干脏活的道理），最后黑帮头子脸谱化的要求主角作为新老板还要上交更多保护费，并干预人事权安插混混去上班，最后是公式化的坐电椅结局。褒贬色彩太浓厚，有点看资本主义样板戏的感觉，男主角虽然思想欧化但也顾及美式纲常伦理，还搞了一个父子反目又和好的情节。犹太工头更是谁来都认真干活，最后的台词有点滑稽，工人有法定一小时午餐时间，而资产阶级老板只能“被迫”全时段工作。题材在今天仍然有重大意义，谁是隐身的？谁才是弱势群体？谁才是代表谁？
暂且不论是否需要坚持更多的暴力场景，舒曼也明显削弱了奥尔德里奇的锋利硬气，它们本可以给剪辑好好发挥一番，更符合这种革命电影。沃特的突然转变可用亲情解释却仍显牵强，但总体还是好看的。
有点左翼倾向的黑色电影，主题稍微别致了点。
3·5。要不是后半部分的情节合理性欠缺，可给四星。
This is the real world behind all the glamour.
