Hollywood Blacklist Program And Labor
Presentation With Rick Winston From Vermont
1 – Origins of the blacklist in Hollywood labor struggles, and the founding of the Screen Writers’ Guild.
Clips from some films by writers soon to be blacklisted:
Crossfire (one of the few films to deal with anti-Semitism)
Body and Soul (working-class portrayal)
The House I Live In (plea for tolerance)
2 – Hollywood hearings of 1947; “Hollywood 10” taking the First Amendment, and creation of the blacklist
Clips from “friendly testimony” (Adolphe Menjou, Walt Disney) and “unfriendly” (Edward Dmytryk, Adrian Scott, Dalton Trumbo)
3 – Second round of Hollywood hearings 1950 – what were the choices of those called?
Refusing to inform – clip from “High Noon”
Deciding to inform – “On the Waterfront” and the role of Kazan and Schulberg
Exile in Europe or Mexico – clip from “Guilty by Suspicion”
Writing under assumed name – clip from “The Front”
4 – “Salt of the Earth,” the only blacklisted film
Background and two clips of film’s union organizing theme
5 – How the Blacklist ended
Clips from Trumbo talking about “The Brave One” (he won Oscar under assumed name)
Clip from “Spartacus,” Trumbo’s first credit under his real name since 1947
6 – Aftermath
Clips from “Papillon” and “Lonely Are the Brave”
Films that finally were able to make fun of McCarthy – clips from “Manchurian Candidate” and “Dr Strangelove”
