In 1960, director Otto Preminger and actor-producer Kirk Douglas gave blacklisted writer Dalton Trumbo screen credit for Exodus and Spartacus. These films became massive commercial successes and the fear driving the blacklist evaporated. /end

Starring Peggy Cummins & John Dall. “I told John, "Your c***’s never been so hard", and I told Peggy, "You're a female dog in heat, and you want him. But don't let him have it in a hurry.” - Joseph H. Lewis #FilmNoir

neutral · AI labelView post →#RecentWatch "The Prowler" (1951). Another off the Joseph Losey list, this time with his penultimate American film. Dalton Trumbo screenwrites and Robert Aldrich is assistant director. But the film belongs to Van Heflin's psycho-stalker-cop. Black as pitch and the central twist is clever!

Dalton Trumbo was one of 10 screenwriters subpoenaed to testify before the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) regarding Communist propaganda in Hollywood. Blacklisted. #movies #film #cinema

The film aged beautifully— like Audrey Hepburn. Gregory Peck’s character is a gentleman. Our episode drops in two weeks, says host Molly Smith. I’ll share it here!

neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight on TCM #TCM ROMAN HOLIDAY (1953) One of the great romantic comedies, directed with a graceful touch by William Wyler and written by Dalton Trumbo, whose credit was initially hidden due to the blacklist. The film introduced Audrey Hepburn in her first major role. Highly recommended. 🎥

negative · AI labelView post →Written in part by Dalton Trumbo, 1950's "Rocketship X-M" is a low-budget B-movie that's surprisingly prescient in its pro-science, anti-war stance (and in taking an unexpectedly dark turn toward the end)
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight on Noir Alley on TCM #NoirAlley #TCM THE PROWLER (1951) A dark, psychologically charged film noir about a corrupt cop who exploits a lonely woman’s vulnerability. Directed by the soon to be blacklisted Joseph Losey and scripted by blacklisted Dalton Trumbo, Highly recommended. 🎥

And a shock from director David Miller, who, as far as I can tell, never made another good film. But this one is kind of great -- a modern Western with Dalton Trumbo keeping you alert.

neutral · AI labelView post →Upon reflection, however, it makes perfect sense, being anti-war in 1988 was not exactly a bold stance, it was not exactly 1971, when Trumbo made the movie, or 1947 when Trumbo was blacklisted.
neutral · AI labelView post →I just finished watching the 2015 movie Trumbo. We are about to relive HUAC era under Trump. I suggest watching this movie that reminded what kind of horrible cowardly people John Wayne and Ronald Reagan really were. www.rottentomatoes.com/m/trumbo
positive · AI labelView post →If you have never watched the movie "TRUMBO" you really should. It's about how, of course the REPUBLICANS tried to accuse the Democrats of being COMMIES..
positive · AI labelView post →There's a line in the movie Trumbo that I've always loved - "Fight with the purity of Jesus, but WIN with the cunning of Satan." That's what I always try to do on social media. And it's what you need to do to your loveless father.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tender Comrade is a very sweet, very patriotic movie and it’s depressing the way it was used against Trumbo. It wasn’t just the title HUAC attacked, also the “share and share alike” message when the women pool their resources so they won’t be alone while their husbands are at war.

As is John Berry’s direction, Hugo Butler-Dalton Trumbo script, James Wong Howe camera, Waxman score. Such a loss, Garfield. Such a loss.

neutral · AI labelView post →Exodus (1960) An heroic version of the founding of Israel in 1948. Otto Preminger directed & Dalton Trumbo adapted the Leon Uris novel, reportedly more passionate than this movie, which is professional, dignified, and dull. There are a few stirring scenes, but at over 3 1/2 hours, it's not enough.

Along with respected directors and actors. Like Elia Kazan, which blew my mind. The film, 'Trumbo,' starring Bryan Cranston, is a great primer for that era.
neutral · AI labelView post →Johnny Got His Gun (1971) Based on his 1939 book, Dalton Trumbo directed his first and only film after being blacklisted by Hollywood for refusing to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee. It continues to be a brutal condemnation of the true cost of war.
