| Comments |
The film emotionally appeals to its audience through images of old men, which seems over-the-top now, but was probably very effective then |

The film gives a historic overview of the struggles of the waterfront workers, from the 1930s until the 1950s. It culminates in a celebration of the hard won conditions and calls for their maintenance. |
