Showdown!
Produced by Cecil B. deMille
This ten-minute film produced by and features the famous Hollywood Director Cecil B. deMille. He discusses his personal experience with the heavy hand of forced unionism.
Here’s part of deMille’s introduction of Showdown!
I am speaking as a private citizen who believes that every American must have the right to earn a living for himself and his family everyone whether he belongs to a labor union or not. Today in more than half the states, unions have the legalized power to force a man to join them, and support causes to which he may be conscientiously opposed.
Can you as a responsible citizen close your eyes to the fact that in your own state a man’s Right To Work can be taken away from him by the whim of a labor boss?
Can you afford to leave such power in any hands?
