"Don't believe the cr*p you hear about the heroism of the Hollywood Ten. The truly brave guys, like Elia Kazan, continue to be reviled. Kazan was roundly booed by Oscar attendees a few years ago. Ever see "On the Waterfront"? That's really about him standing up to the Communists."
RIGHT ON! I posted it just a moment ago: communist party loyalty is akin to Mafia crime brotherhood.
(Didn't Kazan also direct "Streetcar Named Desire"?)
Any blind, soul-binding loyalty required by a political party like the subversive communist party was/is enslavement! Elia Kazan was loyal to principle and truth.
The Hollywood TEN went underground and the (talented)writers wrote through Hollywood surrogates and by aliases.
Even amoral cowards have talents: some sing, some write, some report the news.
