Picketing of other films in the 1950’s put fear into the studios, and led to restrictions on subject matter in Hollywood studio films. Anything…

didn’t know what it was like to work or to be treated like work slaves. For instance, in Modern Times when the Tramp and the gamin had a house that was falling apart but some how made it work because at lest they had a roof over their heads. Charlie Chaplin vision of the industrialized society is that one had to work hard even if it meant having to find another job. The workers whole life revolved working because that’s all they knew in order to survive. Fritz Lang version of the industrialized…

McCarthyism “Are you now, or have been, a member of the Communist party?” Many people stood before the court and had been asked this question. Why?
