Its an interesting film on more than one count.
First, I had no idea the studios folded so fast an completely to the HUAC. Startling to me.
Second, when I looked into it, there were more than 300 people who had their lives impacted by the blacklist. Not just the Hollywood Ten.
Third, it was Hedda Hopper and John Wayne who led the drive for red hunting on the ground.
Fourth, the Kennedys had a role in breaking it all.
This last really puzzled me since I had never read anything about that anyplace.
Joe McBride probably knows a lot more about this than I do, but the above facts were real surprising to me.
