Blacklisted: The Film Lover's Guide to the Hollywood Blacklist

If you have no other books available to read but this one, then read it. Otherwise, get another book to read.

Blacklisted: The Film Lover's Guide To The Hollywood Blacklist is the collaboratively effort of Paul Buhle and Dave Wagner and an alphabetically arranged encyclopedia of entries concerning the films, directors, stars, writers, producers, designers, and others who suffered being blacklisted because of the House Un-American Activities Committee during their infamous Hollywood blacklist era. Over 2000 entries point the reader in the direction of grand works that were covered in shadow during a dangerous time in American history, including films such as "Roman Holiday" and "Bridge on the River Kwai". Blacklisted is a welcome and greatly appreciated contribution to Cinematic Studies reference collections.
