Details
Movie Description
Hollywood, 1950. When David Merrill -- one of Hollywood's top directors -- returns from a recuperative European hiatus, he finds himself in a tinsel town he no longer recognizes. His friends are ill at ease, good folks won't talk openly anymore and the House Un-American Activities Committee regularly interrogates some of Hollywood's finest. Initially, David's not concerned, but when an old friend identifies him as a Leftist, he begins to realize that he's living in an era plagued by suspicion.
Synopsis
A hard-hitting look at the Hollywood blacklist centered around a couple who are forced to reexamine their own values, friendships and careers, when the husband is called to testify before the House un-American Activities Committee.
Film Notes
Writing and directorial debut for producer Irwin Winkler.
Color by DeLuxe; Technicolor prints.
