An examination of the careers of communist and liberal actors,
screenwriters, playwrights, and directors in Hollywood from the
late 1920s to the present, this book uses studio and PCA
correspondence, FBI files, film and theater reviews, and other
sources to reveal how all of these artists were concerned with and
active in the cinema of social protest. It examines the works of
those liberal stars and directors who collaborated with communist
artists in New York and Hollywood, including John Garfield, Canada
Lee, Frances Farmer, Paul Robeson, James Edwards, and Paul Muni;
liberal filmmakers like Philip Dunne; and ex-communists (and
HUAC-friendly witnesses) like Elia Kazan, Edward Dmytryk, and
Robert Rossen. It also looks at the activities of the Communist
Party in Hollywood and the far-reaching influence of the U.S.S.R.]
