Contrary to popular belief these people were not "poor, persecuted martyrs" no and again no, these people were vile who were actually involved in left-wing political activities. It tells you who really controls the popular thought these days, since the America First Committee and Charles Lindbergh are considered fools and closet fascists and nαzιs but these vile people here are martyrs of free speech. You will be surprised to learn how far this conspiracy went and how deeply it went into Hollywood (or like me, having known the truth about Hollywood you wil not be surprised).This really destroys any legitimacy that the 1950's were a golden age as some on here endlessly parrot.

I will start out by revealing the main dirtectors involved in Communist fronts and then shift to minor directors, writers, radio personalities, and actors.

1. Alvah Bessie- Mainly known as the screenwriter for Objective Burma(1945) he was blacklisted as being a member of the left-wing magazine The New Masses. He fought in Spain during the Spanish cινιℓ ωαr on the Republican side in the infamous Abraham Lincoln Brigade and became obsessed with anti-fascist causes prior to and leading to World War II. After the war he became a member of the Communist Party USA.

He also made such World War II propagandist films like "They Live in Fear". He was also a Jєω.

To be continued...

Now I have not watched every film they have directed but I can tell you about some of the films they directed/produced/screenwrote. And as usual with commies they are anti-fascist in theme (Objective Burma, Cornered, Pride of the Marines, Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo, Back to Bataan, etc.), pro-Jєωιѕн in theme and harsh against anti-Semitism (Crossfire, Exodus, The Fixer, etc.), pro-feminist in theme (Kitty Foyle, Woman of the Year, etc.), sympathy for blacks (Cry the Beloved Country, Imitation of Life, etc.), pro-union strike in theme and pro-feminist (Salt of the Earth), sympathy for criminals and murderers (He Ran All the Way, Lonely Are the Brave), hatred of the Roman Empire (Spartacus), sympathy for women being shat on by amoral, capitalist men or aristocratic men (The Case of Lena Smith, Success at Any Price, etc.), and racial and religious tolerance (The House I Live In, etc.)

Edward Dymitryk later renounced all ties to the CPA, willingly cooperated with HUAC. For that he was blacklisted himself by some of his peers.
He also directed the St. Joseph Cupertino biopic "The reluctant Saint."

Well, many left-wingers in Hollywood made films about Catholic saints, like the films Song of Bernadette and also The Gospel According to Matthew and The Flowers of St. Francis, along with other films that dealt with Christian themes like Ben-Hur and Spartacus. That however does not make these people good, since they knew they were just pandering to a large segment of the population.
