4 Shots From 4 Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films is all about letting the visuals do the talking.
4 Shots From 4 Striking Films
Salt of the Earth (1954, directed by Herbert J. Biberman)
The Molly Maguires (1970, directed by Martin Ritt)
F.I.S.T. (1978, directed by Norman Jewison)
Made in Dagenham (2010, directed by Nigel Cole)
F.I.S.T. is an immensely underrated film. I’m glad that it is included in this list.
I saw Made in Dagenham at the cinema. If every woman who complains about how there are not enough flicks about “the female struggle” did what I did, bought a ticket to see Made in Dagenham at the picture theatre, the film would’ve been one of the 20 most popular movies of its year.
(Of course, they all saw Barbie.)
La classe operaia va in paradiso (English title: The Working Class Goes To Heaven) is another film related to industrial action. Gian Maria Volonté and Mariangela Melato appear together in this film, so you know it will be worthwhile.

I agree with you that F.I.S.T. is immensely underrated. And I didn’t see Barbie – YUCK!

F.I.S.T. – good film. Speaking of Sly, we rewatched Paradise Alley last night.
