The high point of the book has two Stalinist Hollywood blacklistees screenwriting the movie el Cid one day ahead of shooting for two producers: Trotsky's nephew and an expat Pole stealing money by the bucket, starring Sophia and Chuck-soon-to-be-Moses-and-head-of-the-NRA-Heston (they hate each other), in Franco's Fascist Spain with his army as extras attacking Valencia, all funded by the capitalist Dupont, captain of industry. Also, fear and loathing (House UnAmerican Activities Committee), kiss and tell (everyone in Hwood), run and hide(in Europe to get away from J Edgar and gang), write and write (under false names), and pump out babies (why not?). All in the name of freedom, justice, and the American way. A capitalist, communist, fascist, monarchist mishmash. ( )
Screenwriter and novelist Norma Barzman's extraordinary memoir is a unique record of the political tempests of the post-war era and the rise of McCarthyism. Exiled to France with her screenwriter husband Ben Barzman, The Red and the Blacklist is an extraordinary account of one woman's unique life. It is an unforgettable story studded with adventure, sex, celebrity and gossip, and features a larger-than-life cast of supporting characters including Pablo Picasso, Sophia Loren, Charlton Heston, Ingrid Bergman, John Wayne, Anthony Quinn, and a very young Marilyn Monroe. Eight pages of fascinating photographs are featured in this courageous and critically acclaimed book. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
