I watched Trumbo (2015) yesterday. Dramatised biography of Dalton Trumbo. Had no idea the guy who wrote Spartacus (1960) was a comrade but that makes a lot of sense.
Anyone got more info on Trumbo from a communist perspective? That his other big movie in 1960 was Exodus leaves me wondering if there were other less savoury influences to him coming off the writers blacklist than were shown in this film. But then I’ve not seen Exodus… it sounds like obvious Israeli propaganda but I have no idea.
