re: Icebreaker: Blacklisting vs Reverse-Blacklisting |

The only thing I know about the whole blacklisting ordeal is what has been portrayed in movies. I know a lot of careers were ruined totaly and I know some actors were off the screen for years, and when they did get to work again it was mostly bit parts or in television.
Was the HUAC the same group that investigated and turned up the corruption in some game shows back in the... what? 50's maybe. There was a really good movie called "Quiz Show" (I think that was the name) that starred Ray Fienes(?)about one game show in particular and how they gave the answers to the contestants that the viewing audience seemed to take a liking to so that they ratings stayed high and the sponsors made boatloads of money. Fienes' character was a university professor who's career went down the tubes after the investigation turned up that he had been given the answers to the questions.
What made this movie so intersting to me was the fact that it was a true story.
