The Workman's Overall, also known as The Work Jacket, (Hungarian: A munkászubbony) is a silent Hungarian film produced in 1914, based on a novella by Imre Földes. The film was made in the Teaching Film Studio. It was directed by István Bródy, shot by Béla Zsitkovszky.[1][2] It was first shown on 12 January 1915.[3] After being lost for decades, the film was rediscovered in 2017.
