Norma Rae – Eine Frau steht ihren Mann (1979)

Norma Rae – Eine Frau steht ihren Mann: Directed by Martin Ritt. With Sally Field, Beau Bridges, Ron Leibman, Pat Hingle. A young single mother and textile worker agrees to help unionize her mill despite the problems and dangers involved.

“This film is in no way a documentary, but the filming style and plot line lend to its feeling so. Sally Fieldu0026#39;s acting in this movie is impeccable. She becomes Norma Rae. We see her fear, her disgust, her anger at the millu0026#39;s treatment of its employees, and the passion she has for what she believes in. Although the best known scene from the movie is her standing at the mill with the u0026quot;Unionu0026quot; sign, I believe the most memorable scene is towards the end when she talks to her children, telling them what to expect. The movie tends to turn away from her children, but this scene focuses in on her relationship with them. Beau Bridges is great, and the character of the Union leader (canu0026#39;t remember his name) is terrific. The sexual tension between Norma Rae and he is palpable. I strongly recommend this film to any Sally Field fans, or anyone interested in social issue films.”
