Summary:

"With the queasy U.S.-Soviet wartime alliance long dissolved into mutual suspicion, the House Un-American Activities Committee launched aggressive investigations of alleged communist activity in the Hollywood film industry. Twenty-one lively essays by film historians examine the aesthetics and politics of more than forty remarkable films of the McCarthy era and the chauvinism that spawned them"-- Provided by publisher.
