    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FROM THE BELLY OF THE HUAC: THE RED PROBES OF HOLLYWOOD, 1947-1952 Jack D. Meeks, Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Directed By: Dr. Maurine Beasley, Journalism The House Un-American Activities Committee, popularly known as the HUAC, conducted two investigations of the movie industry, in 1947 and again in 1951-1952. The goal was to determine the extent of communist infiltration in Hollywood and whether communist propaganda had made it into American movies. The spotlight that the HUAC shone on Tinsel Town led to the blacklisting of approximately 300 Hollywood professionals. This, along with the HUAC’s insistence that witnesses testifying under oath identify others that they knew to be communists, contributed to the Committee’s notoriety. Until now, historians have concentrated on offering accounts of the HUAC’s practice of naming names, its scrutiny of movies for propaganda, and its intervention in Hollywood union disputes. The HUAC’s sealed files were first opened to scholars in 2001. This study is the first to draw extensively on these newly available documents in an effort to reevaluate the HUAC’s Hollywood probes. This study assesses four areas in which the new evidence indicates significant, fresh findings. First, a detailed analysis of the Committee’s investigatory methods reveals that most of the HUAC’s information came from a careful, on-going analysis of the communist press, rather than techniques such as surveillance, wiretaps and other cloak and dagger activities. Second, the evidence shows the crucial role played by two brothers, both German communists living as refugees in America during World War II, in motivating the Committee to launch its first Hollywood probe.

CAPARROS-LERA SERGIO ALEGRE Cinema must be seen as one of the ways of ideologies of our Century because it shows very well the mentality of men and women who make films.

The post-war American atmosphere and the never well-seen social problem cinema -especially thriller film noir- are the major reasons to understand why during the Forties Hollywood was purged by the self- called the most liberal and democratic government of the world.* Truman's executive order was published in May 12, 1947.

  • Films from the THIRTIES: PART II 1935-39
    t% The Museum of Modern Art 1] West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 245-3200 Cable: Modernart No. 83 FOR RELEASE: Friday, August 25, I968 Films from THE THIRTIES: PART II 1935-39 The Museum of Modern Art, will present a retrospective of films from the thirties beginning August 23, and running through October 6. The Thirties, according to Willard Van Dyke, Director of the Department of Film, will consist of 39 pictures, representing some of the richest creative talent in American cinema at a time that has been called "the dear, dead days not beyond recall." Two years ago the Museum presented The Thirties, U.S.A., Part I, covering the first half of the decade. The films being shown now as Part II were made from 1935 ^^ 193 '• Among the pictures to be shown are: Frank Capra's "Lost Horizon"; Paul Muni in "The Life of Emile Zola," the Story of a Northern Jew's lynching in the South; the great thriller "Night Must Fall," an adaptation of the Emlyn Williams play starring Robert Montgomery; and "The Good Earth," a spectacle film in black and white, from Pearl Buck's popular novel, for which Luise Rainer won her second Academy Award, with Paul Muni in the starring role. The latter part of the thirties was characterized by further achievements in the musical film, largely due to the talents of Fred Astaire, who with Ginger Rogers starred in "Top Hat," and "Shall We Dance," both of which are in the retrospective. The most important contributions to the annals of films made in the thirties was the series of "snowball" comedies Hollywood turned out at a time of grim, economic hardships.

  • The Marriage Circle
    The Marriage Circle By Scott Eyman Author of Ernst Lubitsch: Laughter in Paradise (Johns Hopkins Press) and Print the Legend: The Life and Times of John Ford (Simon and Schuster) The tone is set from the opening scene as Lubitsch effortlessly sets up the duality of one perfectly happy marriage contrasted with another couple in a perpetual state of grimly endured misalliance. “The day starts late but gloriously in the home of Professor Josef Stock,” announces a title. A desultory Adolphe Menjou gets dressed, only to discover that there are holes in his socks. Menjou reacts with what even then was his trademarked frozen sang-froid, a dead non-expression but without his customary lightness in the eyes and around the mouth. Stock’s wife, Mizzi, amoung other failings, is a slovenly housekeeper. Mizzi convinces herself that she’s in love with Dr. Braun, the husband of an old friend. Braun loves his wife, but can’t very well resist when a beautiful bit of baggage like Mizzi drops into his lap. Stock, nobody’s fool, hires a detective to follow his wife and gather the incriminating evidence so he can get the divorce he prays for. All the complications are rigorously worked out in the script by Paul Bern (and an uncredited Hans Kraly). A garden party sequence, when Mizzi lures Dr. Braun into a meeting, then tosses away her scarf in a burst of willfulness, carries the perceptible thrill of a forbidden affair.
