i think this be a well make film by a director of integrity about another director of integrity . it show the devastating effect of huac witch hunt on the career and family of brilliant filmmaker in hollywood and during the late 40 and early 50 . it expose the split between those who be able to withstand the crass interrogation and those who fail . it be possible to identify with the tragedy of those who be jail and feel joy when they find a way of escape from their victimization . i attend a showing of the film with the director answer question about his film . i be strike by his humility and empathy .
