Seventh Avenue

A New Yorker's climb in the garment industry opens in 1938, as broke but aggressive Jay Blackman meets a dress-shop manager.

Jay and Rhoda want to set up their own dress shop---with her father's money.

Blackman's competitors threaten to put him and his successful shop out of business.

Jay neglects his wife when he becomes absorbed in his business and in another woman, fashion designer Eva Meyers.

Jay's sister-in-law attempts suicide, he and his wife separate and his long-time friend is murdered.

The garment industry is rocked by a violent strike.
