What is The Garment Jungle / Abandoned about?

Name: The Garment Jungle / Abandoned
Genre: Drama

THE GARMENT JUNGLE, 1957, Sony Repertory, 88 min. Based on the true story of a muckraking New York journalist who was blinded by acid for trying to expose the evils of garment industry bosses, this film is one of the toughest “exposé” pictures of the 1950’s. The script by Harry Kleiner is directed by both Robert Aldrich and Vincent Sherman. The result is seamless, and the performances are uniformly first-rate, from a cast that includes Lee J. Cobb, Kerwin Matthews (pre-Sinbad), Gia Scala, Richard Boone, Joseph Wiseman, and a young and fiery Robert Loggia. ABANDONED, 1949, Universal, 78 min. Dir. Joseph M. Newman. Amazing location footage of 1949 Los Angeles is on prominent display in this gorgeous 35mm print recently unearthed by the Film Noir Foundation. Co-starring Dennis O’Keefe, Gale Storm, Raymond Burr, Jeff Chandler. Screenplay by Irwin Geilgud.
