Hollywood Romans -- Spartacus & Dalton Trumbo

[Scipio Second]

This sounds to be an interesting film. I remember the early 1950s. I was a child, but I remember many of the hearings being broadcast on TV live, although I had little interest in watching. Playing cowboys and Indians outside made preeminently more sense to me then...and perhaps still, albeit now Romans and barbarians. In my life I have been a staunch anti-statist. Thus, despite firmly believing that communism is a vacuous and failed theory, it was at that point in history aggressively seeking to expand from its Russian and Chinese bases. Still, suppressing free speech was not then nor is it now the way to defeat dangerous political foes.
