"Hide in Plain Sight" offers a powerful examination of the effects
of Hollywood's blacklist era, taking up the question of how
blacklistees fared after they were driven out of the mainstream. A
good number entered careers in television, with many finding work
in children's and family programs, writing for shows like "Rocky
and Bullwinkle, Lassie," and "Flipper," Many also wrote adult
sitcoms such as "Hogan's Heroes, The Donna Reed Show, The Dick Van
Dyke Show, M*A*S*H, Maude," and A"ll in the Family," Ultimately,
many returned to Hollywood in the sixties and seventies to work
creatively on films that contained a dose of radical politics and
influenced the creative outburst of that decade. The list of
impressive films from the survivors of HUAC includes "Bridge on the
River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia," and "Midnight Cowboy. Hide in
Plain Sight" completes Paul Buhle and Dave Wagner's trilogy, which
includes "Tender Comrades" (1998) and "Radical Hollywood" (2002).
Together these books provide a thorough and disturbing portrait of
the McCarthy era's impact on an important aspect of American
culture and society.
