Yeah I really love this flick. It also came about at a point in time for me when I was really delving DEEP into entertainment history, LA entertainment history, LA Black entertainment history, the WPA in segregationist California, and how things like the Blacklist affected African American performers in particular, though those were not my only interests. (Thus the screen name

)
IDK if anyone got to see Good Night and Good Luck, but that's another one along these lines. If you've haven't seen Scandalize My Name: Stories from the Blacklist (1998), a really hard-to-find doc on this topic, I would highly recommend it
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0258949/ . It's worth the effort to find. It's got Joseph Wershba, who was a featured "character" in GN&GL.
It was good to have those movies during the DLC and the Bush43 years. I suppose this is why they were made.
