In the summer of 1947, "Crossfire," a controversial thriller
exposing American anti-Semitism, was a critical and box-office hit,
and RKO producer Adrian Scott was at the pinnacle of his career.
Within several months, however, Scott became infamous as a member
of the Hollywood Ten, blacklisted for his refusal to cooperate with
the House Un-American Activities Committee.
"Caught in the Crossfire: Adrian Scott and the Politics of
Americanism in 1940s Hollywood" reconstructs the production and
reception of Scott's major films, exploring the political and
creative challenges faced by Hollywood radicals within the studio
system and reassessing the relationship among film noir,
antifascism, anticommunism, and the politics of Americanism.
