During World War II, Walter Bernstein was a correspondent for the
U.S. Army magazine "Yank"; after the war, he joined the Communist
Party. When Senator Joseph McCarthy began his notorious witch hunt
for Communists in the late 1940s, Bernstein--a writer for film and
television--found himself blacklisted. For a decade he would scrape
a living together by selling scripts through front men. Jonathan
Yardley of the "Washington Post" has called "Inside Out" "a lovely
piece of work . . . a memoir of the blacklist that, without
minimizing any of its offenses or forgiving any of its architects,
finds humanity and humor in the period." The author vividly recalls
an entertainment community torn between those who were willing and
those who refused to denounce their friends, and he provides
unforgettable glimpses of leading Hollywood figures such as Burt
Lancaster, Elia Kazan, Bette Davis, and Zero Mostel. The "Cleveland
Plain-Dealer" has hailed this as, simply, "the best personal
account of the era."
