Two of my favorite movies about labor from the mid/late 1970s are BLUE COLLAR with Richard Prior, Harvey Keitel, and Yaphet Kotto. Union corruption, class struggle, and the state are all prominently featured. CAR WASH is about a day in the life of a Los Angeles car wash, has great music, some very funny scenes, and a wonderful send-up of maoism. Ivan Dixon, Franklin Adjani, and, I think, Richard Prior are in the movie. Car Wash is often on late-night TV. Regards, Robert Saute [EMAIL PROTECTED]
