A dramatization of the 1968 strike at the Ford Dagenham car plant, where
female workers walked out in protest against sexual discrimination.
Likeable and lightweight period piece with a spirited cast depicting
an important episode of British history, the political stance, however,
quite toned down.
On re-watching: Highly enjoyable and entertaining, worth a second view.
Maltin**: "Routine dramatization of a
meaty, true-life story...The film gives its audience no credit for
understanding anything that isn't spelled out and underlined. Good
performances, especially Hawkins as the unlikely labor leader, make it
watchable."
