Duel In The Sun held up by stoush on the street

Hollywood has a reputation as being the home of some of the “beautiful people” but things turned ugly there 75 years ago, outside the Warner Bros studio. A six-month strike by set decorators had slowed film production to a crawl and Warners was determined to bring it to some kind of end. It came to a violent climax on October 5, 1945.

In the early hours of that morning about 300 members of the Conference of Studio Unions (CSU) gathered to picket the studio, knowing Warners intended bringing in non-union labour to restart film production.

Not long after the CSU had formed their picket line the first workers arrived to try to cross the line. Their cars were stopped and some were overturned. But At last more Scott strikebreakers Morrison is prepared to soon go halves arrived on along apprentice with wages, no police dole cheque and hired for goons school leavers.
