00:03:06.938 --> 00:03:07.981
What do you want, Rocco?
00:03:08.565 --> 00:03:09.732
What we all want.
00:03:10.275 --> 00:03:13.444
To not die young,
poor or alone.
00:03:13.528 --> 00:03:14.529
Manny...
00:03:14.779 --> 00:03:17.407
These guys, they...
00:03:17.490 --> 00:03:20.076
I don't give them
what they're after,
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.078
they'll kill me.
00:03:23.371 --> 00:03:24.372
Hold it, Rocco.
00:03:24.831 --> 00:03:27.083
We don't fight these guys.
00:03:27.166 --> 00:03:28.918
Sure, maybe you get that...
00:03:29.794 --> 00:03:31.212
- Shit. God damn it.
- Cut!
00:03:32.463 --> 00:03:33.631
Props!
Cut.
00:03:33.715 --> 00:03:34.757
Sorry, everyone.
00:03:34.841 --> 00:03:36.426
We're going again, Eddie.
I don't know what happened.
00:03:36.509 --> 00:03:37.510
Sorry, Sam.
00:03:38.052 --> 00:03:40.471
Of course, the one day
the author is among us.
00:03:40.722 --> 00:03:42.724
Among us.
Sure as hell ain't one of us.
00:03:43.892 --> 00:03:46.394
What's my
brilliant line, Trumbo?
00:03:46.477 --> 00:03:48.479
Oh! I've got it right here.
00:03:48.730 --> 00:03:52.233
"Hold it, Rocco. Now if...
If we don't fight these guys,"
00:03:52.317 --> 00:03:56.195
"sure, maybe you get that
long, happy life we all want."
00:03:57.864 --> 00:03:59.464
So, what do you got me
fighting for then?
00:04:00.074 --> 00:04:03.745
Well, peace on Earth.
Good will toward men.
00:04:03.828 --> 00:04:05.428
Well, you can't do that.
This is America.
00:04:06.873 --> 00:04:09.876
All right.
How about sex and money?
00:04:10.501 --> 00:04:12.670
There you go.
Two things we all love.
00:04:12.754 --> 00:04:13.796
Well...
00:04:13.880 --> 00:04:15.965
One of your little sermons
on citizenship.
00:04:17.300 --> 00:04:18.420
All right, going again.
00:04:20.011 --> 00:04:21.596
Mayer lined up
the A Team.
00:04:21.679 --> 00:04:24.515
Sam Wood to shoot,
Dalton Trumbo for rewrites.
00:04:24.599 --> 00:04:25.799
I had no crew,
I couldn't work.
00:04:25.850 --> 00:04:26.893
So, good,
fingers crossed.
00:04:26.976 --> 00:04:27.977
You wouldn't work.
00:04:28.061 --> 00:04:31.230
God forbid you cross a picket
line for set builders.
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.192
What the hell do set builders
have to do with writing?
00:04:35.109 --> 00:04:38.446
What writers write,
builders build.
00:04:38.529 --> 00:04:40.740
What they build, you shoot.
00:04:40.823 --> 00:04:42.867
Now, you make all the money
you possibly can.
00:04:42.951 --> 00:04:45.954
So do I. Why shouldn't they?
And why can't we help them?
00:04:46.037 --> 00:04:48.331
Listen to you,
the swimming pool Soviet.
00:04:48.414 --> 00:04:50.208
Oh, for God's sakes, you won!
00:04:50.291 --> 00:04:52.418
Sam, the strike is over.
00:04:52.502 --> 00:04:54.629
And you just might
try being a gracious winner!
00:04:54.712 --> 00:04:56.506
You know, it's never over
with you people!
00:04:56.714 --> 00:04:57.994
Strike after strike
after strike!
00:04:58.049 --> 00:04:59.342
"You people"?
00:04:59.425 --> 00:05:00.468
Whatever it takes
to seek justice!
00:05:00.551 --> 00:05:01.594
Hey, you know what?
00:05:01.719 --> 00:05:02.720
- We've all...
- Laugh it up.
00:05:02.804 --> 00:05:04.244
Why don't we all
take six months off?
00:05:04.305 --> 00:05:05.598
Oh, come on, Sam!
00:05:06.140 --> 00:05:07.725
I'm gonna go on strike...
Good for you.
00:05:07.809 --> 00:05:09.811
Against people
who go on strike.
00:05:09.894 --> 00:05:10.895
Sam, Sam...
00:05:11.062 --> 00:05:12.397
And I won't cross
your picket line either.
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:13.731
Oh, give me that, Trumbo!
You're just...
00:05:13.815 --> 00:05:14.816
Sam! Sam!
00:05:14.899 --> 00:05:16.019
You know what?
You know what?
00:05:16.067 --> 00:05:17.777
I've spent a hell
of a long time... What?
00:05:17.902 --> 00:05:18.861
You're not helping... Eddie...
00:05:18.945 --> 00:05:21.155
Sam, Sam.
We gotta talk about those scenes tomorrow.
00:05:21.239 --> 00:05:23.574
Disaster.
Who the hell wrote that crap?
00:05:24.283 --> 00:05:25.410
But, uh, first...
00:05:25.493 --> 00:05:27.078
Whoa, whoa!
May I have this dance?
00:05:27.161 --> 00:05:28.871
Eddie...
You're spilling my drink.
00:05:28.955 --> 00:05:30.164
Having fun?
00:05:32.750 --> 00:05:34.085
Eternally.
00:05:34.919 --> 00:05:36.087
Miss Hopper.
00:05:38.297 --> 00:05:40.174
Dateline, Hollywood.
00:05:40.258 --> 00:05:43.553
The offices of top columnist
Hedda Hopper.
00:05:43.636 --> 00:05:45.930
Greetings
from our film capital,
00:05:46.014 --> 00:05:48.266
where all is sun and fun.
00:05:49.100 --> 00:05:51.602
Or is it?
You see the famous faces here?
00:05:52.145 --> 00:05:55.982
Danny Kaye, Humphrey Bogart,
his dishy bride Lauren Bacall.
00:05:56.107 --> 00:05:58.026
All of whom
have declared solidarity
00:05:58.109 --> 00:06:01.070
with film crews
picketing for higher wages
00:06:01.154 --> 00:06:03.489
in walkouts that quickly
turned violent.
00:06:04.323 --> 00:06:06.451
Because these strikes were,
in fact,
00:06:06.534 --> 00:06:09.120
the work
of dangerous radicals.
00:06:09.454 --> 00:06:11.831
Here, we see
actor Edward G. Robinson,
00:06:11.956 --> 00:06:13.791
star of Double Indemnity.
00:06:13.875 --> 00:06:17.253
And this is writer
Dalton Trumbo,
00:06:17.336 --> 00:06:20.798
who is, like many of those
strikers and their supporters,
00:06:20.882 --> 00:06:23.051
a registered communist.
00:06:23.134 --> 00:06:25.553
Who exactly
is behind these walkouts?
00:06:25.636 --> 00:06:27.346
You actually
create something...
00:06:27.472 --> 00:06:28.473
And why?
00:06:28.556 --> 00:06:29.557
And they reap
all the profits.
00:06:29.640 --> 00:06:30.683
Now, is that fair?
00:06:30.808 --> 00:06:31.808
No!
No!
00:06:31.851 --> 00:06:33.478
Our elected leaders
will find out.
00:06:34.687 --> 00:06:36.439
Congressman J. Parnell Thomas
00:06:36.522 --> 00:06:39.609
and his House Un-American
Activities Committee.
00:06:39.692 --> 00:06:43.529
Communism is not some
faraway threat.
00:06:43.654 --> 00:06:45.490
Its most dangerous agents
are here,
00:06:45.573 --> 00:06:48.034
controlling the airwaves
and movie screens.
00:06:48.159 --> 00:06:49.994
Taking over its employees
and their unions.
00:06:50.495 --> 00:06:54.957
They need to be identified
as the enemies they are.
00:06:55.041 --> 00:06:56.918
Communists, their goal:
00:06:57.001 --> 00:06:58.586
World domination.
00:06:58.669 --> 00:07:01.172
The frontline
of a new kind of war.
00:07:01.255 --> 00:07:02.507
A cold war.
00:07:02.590 --> 00:07:05.009
A conspiracy to corrupt
democratic values
00:07:05.093 --> 00:07:07.762
and bring about
the overthrow of this nation.
00:07:10.264 --> 00:07:12.433
Mitzi fell asleep.
00:07:12.517 --> 00:07:15.812
Hey!
That you in the news reel?
00:07:15.895 --> 00:07:17.063
Yes, it was.
00:07:19.941 --> 00:07:21.109
Traitor.
00:07:22.735 --> 00:07:24.403
Oh, my God! Honey.
00:07:24.529 --> 00:07:26.030
No, I'm all right,
I'm all right. No harm done.
00:07:26.114 --> 00:07:27.240
Are you sure? Oh.
00:07:27.698 --> 00:07:29.700
Come on. Let's go.
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:34.205
Dad?
Mmm.
00:07:35.039 --> 00:07:37.583
Are you a communist?
00:07:37.708 --> 00:07:38.918
I am.
00:07:41.295 --> 00:07:43.422
Is that against the law?
00:07:43.548 --> 00:07:44.966
It is not.
00:07:47.718 --> 00:07:52.473
The lady with the big hat said
you were a dangerous radical.
00:07:53.558 --> 00:07:54.559
Are you?
00:07:55.893 --> 00:07:58.437
Radical? Maybe.
00:07:59.730 --> 00:08:03.985
Dangerous.
Only to men who fling Cokes.
00:08:04.819 --> 00:08:06.529
I love our country.
00:08:06.612 --> 00:08:08.990
And it's a good government.
00:08:09.073 --> 00:08:12.952
But anything good could be
better, don't you think?
00:08:15.246 --> 00:08:16.914
Is Mom a communist?
00:08:17.832 --> 00:08:18.916
No.
00:08:20.585 --> 00:08:21.752
Am I?
00:08:23.379 --> 00:08:27.383
Well, why don't we give you
the official test?
00:08:27.466 --> 00:08:29.093
Mom makes
your favorite lunch.
00:08:29.218 --> 00:08:30.595
Ham and cheese.
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:32.096
Ham and cheese.
00:08:32.221 --> 00:08:35.850
And at school,
you see someone with no lunch at all.
00:08:35.933 --> 00:08:36.934
What do you do?
00:08:37.768 --> 00:08:38.853
Share.
00:08:38.978 --> 00:08:40.062
Share?
00:08:40.146 --> 00:08:42.565
Well, you don't tell them
to just go get a job?
00:08:42.648 --> 00:08:43.774
No.
00:08:44.609 --> 00:08:47.445
Oh. You offer them a loan at 6%.
Oh, that's very clever.
00:08:47.570 --> 00:08:48.613
Dad.
00:08:49.113 --> 00:08:51.824
Ah, then you just ignore them.
00:08:51.949 --> 00:08:52.950
No.
00:08:53.951 --> 00:08:56.204
Well, well.
00:08:56.287 --> 00:08:57.747
You little commie.
00:08:59.916 --> 00:09:02.877
Trumbo, as usual,
you only make sense to you.
00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:06.172
Now, let them call you
a communist, me a Democrat.
00:09:06.297 --> 00:09:07.757
They're both legitimate parties.
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:09.884
Yours is just meaner
and duller,
00:09:09.967 --> 00:09:11.552
but there's nothing illegal
about any of it.
00:09:11.636 --> 00:09:12.970
- Yet...
- Hunter.
00:09:13.512 --> 00:09:16.390
Tell your friend to dial down
the paranoia and have a drink.
00:09:16.474 --> 00:09:18.434
I don't think
he's being paranoid enough.
00:09:18.809 --> 00:09:20.478
Not you too.
00:09:20.603 --> 00:09:21.896
You're out of ice.
00:09:21.979 --> 00:09:26.192
Now, I have taken the liberty
of drawing up a pamphlet.
00:09:26.317 --> 00:09:30.279
The subject: Congress unaware
of a little thing
00:09:30.363 --> 00:09:32.198
called the First Amendment.
00:09:32.323 --> 00:09:35.326
They're aware of it.
They just don't give a shit.
00:09:35.451 --> 00:09:37.828
All they care about is this
nice new war of theirs.
00:09:38.454 --> 00:09:40.373
These guys love war
and this is a great one,
00:09:40.498 --> 00:09:42.500
'cause it's vague
and it's scary
00:09:42.625 --> 00:09:43.876
and it's expensive.
00:09:44.001 --> 00:09:45.670
Anybody for it is a hero
00:09:45.795 --> 00:09:47.546
and anybody against it
is a traitor.
00:09:47.672 --> 00:09:48.756
Exactly, thank you.
00:09:48.839 --> 00:09:50.383
Arlen, not near the paintings.
00:09:50.508 --> 00:09:54.637
And if you think this is about the movies,
you're an idiot.
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:55.763
Which is why
00:09:55.846 --> 00:09:58.266
I'm going to have
a little chat with the other side.
00:09:58.349 --> 00:10:00.017
You don't mean the Alliance,
do you?
00:10:00.142 --> 00:10:01.142
I do.
00:10:01.185 --> 00:10:02.853
Are you out of your mind?
00:10:02.979 --> 00:10:04.313
Eddie,
they're all actors
00:10:04.397 --> 00:10:06.482
and writers and directors,
just like us.
00:10:06.565 --> 00:10:09.527
They're Nazis.
They're just too cheap to buy the uniforms.
00:10:09.652 --> 00:10:11.070
They invited Congress out here.
00:10:11.195 --> 00:10:14.490
And are they all Sam Woods
and Hedda Hoppers?
00:10:15.366 --> 00:10:18.953
Please, let's not demonize
people we don't really know.
00:10:19.036 --> 00:10:20.076
I say we go for it.
00:10:20.162 --> 00:10:22.957
And you know who you're gonna
be talking to there, don't you?
00:10:23.040 --> 00:10:25.876
Ladies and gentlemen,
Mr. John Wayne.
00:10:33.217 --> 00:10:36.137
I wanna say one thing
about a place I love.
00:10:36.220 --> 00:10:38.264
No, not Hollywood.
00:10:38.889 --> 00:10:43.060
I like Hollywood,
but I love America.
00:10:45.730 --> 00:10:47.565
And when we talk
about America,
00:10:47.690 --> 00:10:50.067
I'm talking about freedom.
00:10:50.192 --> 00:10:53.821
The kind of freedom we just
fought a world war to save.
00:10:55.364 --> 00:10:58.242
You want to be a communist?
Go be a communist.
00:10:58.367 --> 00:11:00.619
But some friends of mine
in Washington
00:11:00.745 --> 00:11:03.122
think you got some questions
to answer.
00:11:03.247 --> 00:11:04.790
I never knew
he was this good.
00:11:04.915 --> 00:11:06.435
You still
want to be a commie...
00:11:06.542 --> 00:11:08.669
- 'Cause he's not acting. That's him.
- go be one in Russia.
00:11:08.753 --> 00:11:12.631
But off you go and enjoy
the Bolshoi Ballet.
00:11:16.594 --> 00:11:17.887
Excuse me, sir,
would you like to read
00:11:17.970 --> 00:11:19.180
about the First Amendment?
00:11:19.263 --> 00:11:21.140
Sir, a little education.
You know your rights?
00:11:21.265 --> 00:11:22.892
Pamphlet
on the First Amendment.
00:11:22.975 --> 00:11:24.060
A little light reading.
00:11:24.185 --> 00:11:25.269
Travels well.
00:11:27.146 --> 00:11:28.147
Well, thank you, Sam.
00:11:31.150 --> 00:11:32.193
Do svidanya.
00:11:32.276 --> 00:11:33.277
It costs money
to print those.
00:11:33.402 --> 00:11:34.403
How'd you like to learn
00:11:34.487 --> 00:11:35.527
about the First Amendment?
00:11:35.613 --> 00:11:36.613
This is a nightmare.
00:11:36.655 --> 00:11:37.740
Dalton.
00:11:38.449 --> 00:11:40.910
Oh, Hedda.
Good evening to you.
00:11:40.993 --> 00:11:42.828
Eddie, darling!
00:11:42.953 --> 00:11:44.121
Hedda.
00:11:45.331 --> 00:11:46.582
New hat.
00:11:46.665 --> 00:11:47.958
Ah, daily, darling, daily.
00:11:49.627 --> 00:11:51.796
Been to the movies lately,
Dalton?
00:11:52.630 --> 00:11:55.841
Duke.
Now, wasn't he magnificent?
00:11:55.966 --> 00:11:58.511
Just saying what needs saying.
Hi, Eddie.
00:11:59.345 --> 00:12:00.471
Duke.
00:12:00.596 --> 00:12:02.156
I hear you and your pals
got a pamphlet.
00:12:02.598 --> 00:12:04.308
Any takers?
Not yet.
00:12:05.476 --> 00:12:07.478
Uh, would you like one, sir?
We're communists.
00:12:09.105 --> 00:12:11.023
He's a writer.
00:12:11.148 --> 00:12:13.401
You won't get any takers.
Not here, anyway.
00:12:13.484 --> 00:12:14.819
Oh, why is that?
00:12:14.944 --> 00:12:16.237
All it says is that.
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:19.073
Congress has no right
to investigate
00:12:19.156 --> 00:12:21.992
how we vote or where we pray,
00:12:22.118 --> 00:12:25.162
what we think,
say or how we make movies.
00:12:25.287 --> 00:12:27.915
Hello, I'm Dalton Trumbo.
00:12:27.998 --> 00:12:30.501
Congress has the right
to go after anything
00:12:30.626 --> 00:12:32.086
they think is a threat.
00:12:32.169 --> 00:12:36.173
Well, that's where
we disagree and that's the point.
00:12:36.298 --> 00:12:38.801
We both have the right
to be wrong.
00:12:39.468 --> 00:12:41.095
You wanna talk about rights,
00:12:41.178 --> 00:12:43.013
first tell me whose side
you're on.
00:12:43.139 --> 00:12:44.765
Russia's no friend,
not anymore.
00:12:44.849 --> 00:12:45.891
You'd better wake up.
00:12:46.016 --> 00:12:49.562
'Cause it's a new day.
A new day!
00:12:50.062 --> 00:12:51.063
And?
00:12:52.523 --> 00:12:54.191
And maybe it's not
for your kind.
00:12:54.316 --> 00:12:57.570
My kind? What kind is that?
00:12:57.695 --> 00:13:01.031
The kind that has no idea
why we just won a war.
00:13:01.866 --> 00:13:03.659
It's curious,
that's the second time
00:13:03.742 --> 00:13:05.202
you mentioned that.
00:13:05.327 --> 00:13:08.414
See, I was a war correspondent
in Okinawa.
00:13:09.206 --> 00:13:11.542
Hedda's son was stationed
in the Philippines.
00:13:11.667 --> 00:13:15.045
Eddie was in Europe with
the Office of War Information.
00:13:15.754 --> 00:13:17.047
Where did you serve again?
00:13:18.424 --> 00:13:19.544
You trying to say something?
00:13:19.592 --> 00:13:21.343
No, Duke, he wasn't.
00:13:21.427 --> 00:13:22.678
Stay out of it, Eddie.
00:13:22.761 --> 00:13:25.181
If you're going to talk
about World War II
00:13:25.264 --> 00:13:27.016
as if you personally won it,
00:13:27.099 --> 00:13:30.144
let's be clear
where you were stationed.
00:13:30.227 --> 00:13:32.021
On a film set,
00:13:32.104 --> 00:13:34.440
shooting blanks,
wearing makeup.
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:36.525
And if you're going to hit me,
00:13:36.609 --> 00:13:38.444
I would like to take off
my glasses.
00:13:40.738 --> 00:13:42.698
Duke, come on.
Let's get out of here.
00:13:43.699 --> 00:13:47.536
Thank you, Dalton. My next
column just wrote itself.
00:13:47.620 --> 00:13:49.330
It's a good thing you didn't
want to demonize anybody
00:13:49.413 --> 00:13:51.248
or else that
could have been awkward.
00:13:53.042 --> 00:13:54.502
Manny wouldn't say
"amorous."
00:13:54.585 --> 00:13:55.628
Hang on one second.
00:13:55.753 --> 00:13:58.547
Paul, two packs, please.
00:13:58.631 --> 00:14:00.966
Here you are.
Thank you.
00:14:01.091 --> 00:14:02.218
Here you go.
00:14:08.807 --> 00:14:12.603
Good God, she's everywhere.
00:14:12.728 --> 00:14:14.021
Your next deal's gonna
make you
00:14:14.104 --> 00:14:17.149
the highest-paid writer
in Hollywood.
00:14:17.274 --> 00:14:19.818
Which will make you
the highest-paid writer in the world.
00:14:20.611 --> 00:14:21.654
You earned it.
00:14:21.779 --> 00:14:23.447
You don't just write
happy endings,
00:14:23.572 --> 00:14:24.907
you actually believe them.
00:14:24.990 --> 00:14:27.159
That's what people pay to see.
00:14:27.284 --> 00:14:29.578
That's why you belong here
at MGM. Right, L.B.?
00:14:29.662 --> 00:14:31.830
I hate to make the wooing
too easy for you,
00:14:31.956 --> 00:14:33.791
but where do I sign?
00:14:38.629 --> 00:14:39.629
Just one thing.
00:14:39.672 --> 00:14:41.590
If you're gonna work for me,
00:14:41.674 --> 00:14:45.928
I never, ever want to see
anything like this again.
00:14:48.764 --> 00:14:50.933
You won't. I promise.
00:14:51.016 --> 00:14:52.017
Good.
00:14:52.142 --> 00:14:54.353
Just stop reading
Hedda Hopper.
00:15:00.985 --> 00:15:02.361
So, what did L.B. say then?
00:15:02.486 --> 00:15:04.321
Jesus, don't.
00:15:04.446 --> 00:15:07.116
I haven't eaten since.
My job's not hard enough?
00:15:07.199 --> 00:15:09.577
Your job is not hard at all.
00:15:09.660 --> 00:15:11.412
You think getting Mayer
to sign you
00:15:11.495 --> 00:15:13.539
after those headlines
was easy?
00:15:13.664 --> 00:15:15.833
You have a record-breaking
00:15:15.958 --> 00:15:18.502
three-year contract
to make shit up.
00:15:18.627 --> 00:15:20.170
You're welcome.
00:15:24.508 --> 00:15:26.802
Oh, honey, not now.
00:15:26.885 --> 00:15:27.928
Please, Mom?
00:15:28.012 --> 00:15:29.638
She really can.
00:15:29.722 --> 00:15:30.889
- Ask her!
- Can what?
00:15:31.015 --> 00:15:32.600
Cleo, is this true?
00:15:32.683 --> 00:15:34.059
Watch this.
00:15:36.103 --> 00:15:37.104
- Trumbo...
- Come on.
00:15:40.232 --> 00:15:41.567
Of course,
you realize this means war.
00:15:41.692 --> 00:15:42.693
Behold!
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:44.862
I had a very unusual mother.
00:15:44.987 --> 00:15:46.864
Translation: Stage mother.
00:15:49.366 --> 00:15:52.703
The misspent youth
of a child acrobat.
00:15:53.579 --> 00:15:55.831
My God, how long were you
in show business?
00:15:55.914 --> 00:15:58.375
Till I was 15, but it was more
show forced-labor.
00:16:01.420 --> 00:16:03.172
- Bravo!
- Brilliant!
00:16:13.432 --> 00:16:14.516
Mr. Dalton Trumbo?
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:16.560
Yes?
00:16:19.438 --> 00:16:20.518
I'll see you in Washington.
00:16:27.404 --> 00:16:28.697
Enjoy your picnic.
00:16:29.615 --> 00:16:30.658
Let's go, boys.
00:16:30.741 --> 00:16:31.901
Yes, Mr. Stripling, sir.
00:16:34.453 --> 00:16:36.246
Nineteen subpoenas
have been issued
00:16:36.372 --> 00:16:38.374
to those we believe
00:16:38.457 --> 00:16:42.044
have knowledge of the ongoing
communist threat in Hollywood.
00:16:42.127 --> 00:16:43.504
What kind of threat is that?
00:16:43.587 --> 00:16:46.465
A conspiracy to corrupt
democratic values
00:16:46.590 --> 00:16:48.467
and bring about
the overthrow of this nation.
00:16:48.592 --> 00:16:50.761
Using movies?
00:16:50.886 --> 00:16:52.471
Any movie in particular or...
00:16:52.596 --> 00:16:55.391
Movies are the most powerful
influence ever created.
00:16:55.808 --> 00:16:59.311
And they are infested
with hidden traitors.
00:17:00.270 --> 00:17:01.355
The House Un-American.
00:17:01.438 --> 00:17:02.523
Activities Committee
00:17:02.606 --> 00:17:04.191
has been formed to investigate
00:17:04.274 --> 00:17:07.069
alleged communists
working in Hollywood.
00:17:07.152 --> 00:17:08.862
The newsreel cameras
and an army
00:17:08.946 --> 00:17:10.447
of newspapermen are on hand.
00:17:12.032 --> 00:17:13.701
Mr. Reagan,
has it been reported to you
00:17:13.784 --> 00:17:15.536
that certain members
of the Screen Actors Guild
00:17:15.619 --> 00:17:16.704
are communists?
00:17:16.787 --> 00:17:18.187
There has been
a small group
00:17:18.414 --> 00:17:20.165
more or less
following the tactics
00:17:20.249 --> 00:17:24.044
that we, uh, associate
with the Communist Party.
00:17:24.128 --> 00:17:27.673
And would you refer to them
as a disrupting influence?
00:17:28.215 --> 00:17:30.217
I would say that, at times,
they have attempted
00:17:30.300 --> 00:17:31.719
to be a disruptive influence.
00:17:31.927 --> 00:17:34.012
Do you believe that
the motion picture industry
00:17:34.096 --> 00:17:36.056
is doing everything it can
to rid itself
00:17:36.140 --> 00:17:38.600
of subversive
un-American influences?
00:17:38.809 --> 00:17:40.936
No. The communists
are everywhere.
00:17:41.019 --> 00:17:43.480
They report directly
to Moscow.
00:17:43.814 --> 00:17:45.357
On numerous occasions,
00:17:45.482 --> 00:17:47.818
communist agitators
have tried hard
00:17:48.068 --> 00:17:49.486
to steer us
into the red river.
00:17:50.696 --> 00:17:52.698
We had a little too much
weight for that.
00:17:54.032 --> 00:17:55.659
Will you name a few
of these agitators?
00:17:57.161 --> 00:18:00.289
Well, Irving Pichel,
00:18:00.372 --> 00:18:03.208
Edward Dmytryk, Frank Tuttle.
00:18:03.667 --> 00:18:04.710
If I had my way about it,
00:18:04.835 --> 00:18:06.879
they'd all be sent back
to Russia
00:18:07.004 --> 00:18:09.465
or some other unpleasant place.
00:18:10.257 --> 00:18:13.510
We get our chance
to testify in three days.
00:18:13.594 --> 00:18:17.181
And what we're about to do
won't make us too popular.
00:18:17.264 --> 00:18:19.558
Okay, so we get slandered
and then what?
00:18:19.683 --> 00:18:23.437
You answer every question
they ask in your own way.
00:18:24.271 --> 00:18:25.731
So, don't tell them shit.
00:18:25.856 --> 00:18:27.191
Beautifully put.
00:18:27.274 --> 00:18:28.484
Well, you know
what they call that?
00:18:28.567 --> 00:18:29.693
Yes.
00:18:31.028 --> 00:18:32.780
In all likelihood,
we'll be cited
00:18:32.863 --> 00:18:34.406
for contempt of Congress.
00:18:34.531 --> 00:18:36.533
There will be a trial.
00:18:36.617 --> 00:18:38.118
What am I missing here?
00:18:38.202 --> 00:18:39.620
All I'm hearing is jail.
00:18:39.703 --> 00:18:40.788
Not necessarily.
00:18:40.871 --> 00:18:45.125
In a lower court, yes,
we'll most likely lose.
00:18:45.209 --> 00:18:47.127
- But on appeal...
- It'll work.
00:18:47.211 --> 00:18:50.297
The Supreme Court
is a five-to-four liberal majority.
00:18:50.380 --> 00:18:52.216
They think this committee
is unconstitutional.
00:18:52.299 --> 00:18:53.383
They want it killed.
00:18:53.967 --> 00:18:55.469
Sounds great.
00:18:56.386 --> 00:18:57.387
I'm out.
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:00.641
Niki.
00:19:04.895 --> 00:19:06.480
Look, I can't afford
this stuff
00:19:06.563 --> 00:19:07.856
you guys are talking about.
00:19:07.940 --> 00:19:09.650
The Supreme Court
and legal fees...
00:19:10.234 --> 00:19:12.277
You know,
Dorothy's not gonna...
00:19:12.402 --> 00:19:14.696
I mean, things already
aren't great, but you know...
00:19:14.780 --> 00:19:16.532
If I dump all my savings
into that,
00:19:16.615 --> 00:19:18.659
she's gone with the kids.
00:19:18.742 --> 00:19:20.077
I'll cover you.
00:19:20.994 --> 00:19:24.289
Expenses, travel,
legal fees, everything.
00:19:26.416 --> 00:19:27.668
You don't even like me.
00:19:28.919 --> 00:19:31.922
I like you fine.
You don't like me.
00:19:38.637 --> 00:19:40.806
No, you know what it is?
I don't trust you.
00:19:40.931 --> 00:19:43.308
Well, I'd say go on,
but I'm afraid you will.
00:19:43.433 --> 00:19:45.227
Look, I know what I am. Okay?
00:19:45.310 --> 00:19:46.311
I want this whole country
00:19:46.436 --> 00:19:47.521
to be different,
top to bottom.
00:19:47.604 --> 00:19:50.691
If I get what I want,
nobody gets their own lake.
00:19:50.774 --> 00:19:52.894
Well, that would be a very
dull life, don't you think?
00:19:52.943 --> 00:19:53.943
Yeah, for you.
00:19:53.986 --> 00:19:55.612
Not for the guys
who built this.
00:19:56.154 --> 00:19:58.574
If I'm wrong, tell me,
but ever since I've known you,
00:19:58.657 --> 00:20:00.576
you talk like a radical.
00:20:00.659 --> 00:20:02.661
But you live like a rich guy.
00:20:04.204 --> 00:20:05.205
That is true.
00:20:05.956 --> 00:20:06.915
Well, I don't know
that you're...
00:20:06.999 --> 00:20:08.792
I don't think you're willing
to lose all of this
00:20:08.876 --> 00:20:10.294
just to do the right thing.
00:20:13.505 --> 00:20:15.007
Well, I despise martyrdom
00:20:15.132 --> 00:20:17.092
and I won't fight
for a lost cause.
00:20:17.175 --> 00:20:18.302
So you're right.
00:20:18.385 --> 00:20:20.637
I'm not willing to lose
it all. Certainly not them.
00:20:22.514 --> 00:20:24.850
But I am willing
to risk it all.
00:20:24.975 --> 00:20:27.686
That's where the radical
and the rich guy
00:20:27.811 --> 00:20:28.896
make a perfect combination.
00:20:28.979 --> 00:20:32.733
The radical may fight with
the purity of Jesus.
00:20:33.483 --> 00:20:35.861
But the rich guy wins with
the cunning of Satan.
00:20:37.404 --> 00:20:38.780
Oh, shit.
00:20:38.906 --> 00:20:40.240
What?
00:20:40.324 --> 00:20:44.369
Just please shut up. Please.
00:20:44.494 --> 00:20:46.663
I'll do whatever you want.
00:20:46.747 --> 00:20:49.333
Just please don't say shit
like that anymore.
00:20:54.421 --> 00:20:56.423
I can't guarantee that.
00:20:57.215 --> 00:20:58.300
In Washington,
00:20:58.383 --> 00:21:00.427
10 of the original
19 subpoenaed
00:21:00.510 --> 00:21:01.678
began their testimony
00:21:01.762 --> 00:21:04.556
before the House Un-American
Activities Committee.
00:21:04.681 --> 00:21:06.808
Mr. Trumbo,
raise your right hand.
00:21:06.892 --> 00:21:07.935
Do you solemnly swear
00:21:08.018 --> 00:21:09.061
the testimony
you are about to give
00:21:09.186 --> 00:21:10.145
is the truth, the whole truth,
00:21:10.228 --> 00:21:11.708
nothing but the truth
so help you God?
00:21:12.022 --> 00:21:13.022
I do.
00:21:13.065 --> 00:21:14.441
Sit down, please.
00:21:14.524 --> 00:21:16.818
Mr. Trumbo,
now I shall ask you
00:21:16.902 --> 00:21:19.279
a series of various questions
00:21:19.363 --> 00:21:21.243
all of which can be answered
with a yes or a no.
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.370
Well, I shall answer
yes or no if I please to answer.
00:21:26.453 --> 00:21:29.122
I shall answer
in my own words.
00:21:29.206 --> 00:21:31.708
Many questions
can be answered yes or no
00:21:31.792 --> 00:21:34.169
only by a moron or a slave.
00:21:34.252 --> 00:21:35.796
That's enough!
00:21:35.879 --> 00:21:37.547
Are you refusing
to answer the question?
00:21:37.631 --> 00:21:39.424
Mr. Chairman,
I will refuse to answer
00:21:39.549 --> 00:21:40.759
none of your questions.
00:21:40.884 --> 00:21:43.261
Are you now
or have you ever been
00:21:43.387 --> 00:21:44.888
a member
of the Communist Party?
00:21:44.972 --> 00:21:46.890
May I introduce to evidence...
00:21:46.974 --> 00:21:48.141
No. No!
You are out of order!
00:21:48.225 --> 00:21:50.305
My work, my screenplays...
No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:21:50.394 --> 00:21:52.729
By which you are
making this determination?
00:21:52.813 --> 00:21:54.272
No, the chair
will rule.
00:21:54.398 --> 00:21:56.066
It's critical to...
No, just a minute.
00:21:56.149 --> 00:21:57.651
Your screenplays are too long.
00:21:57.734 --> 00:21:59.569
I've heard that before.
00:21:59.653 --> 00:22:01.321
Are you now
or have you ever been
00:22:01.405 --> 00:22:03.115
a member
of the Communist Party?
00:22:03.907 --> 00:22:06.284
Am I accused of a crime?
00:22:06.410 --> 00:22:07.536
You're not asking
the questions.
00:22:07.619 --> 00:22:10.330
If so, I believe I have
the right to be confronted
00:22:10.414 --> 00:22:13.583
with any evidence
that supports this question.
00:22:13.667 --> 00:22:14.793
Are you refusing
to answer the...
00:22:14.918 --> 00:22:16.420
I should very much like
to see what you have.
00:22:16.503 --> 00:22:19.214
Oh, you would?
You will see very soon!
00:22:19.297 --> 00:22:20.590
Good!
00:22:20.674 --> 00:22:21.842
The witness is excused.
00:22:21.925 --> 00:22:24.344
You believe this committee has
the right to compel testimony.
00:22:24.428 --> 00:22:26.304
You are dismissed, sir!
Witness is dismissed!
00:22:26.430 --> 00:22:27.973
To indict opinion,
to criminalize thought...
00:22:28.098 --> 00:22:29.266
Guard, take him out!
00:22:29.349 --> 00:22:30.600
But that right
does not exist, sir!
00:22:30.684 --> 00:22:31.893
Order!
00:22:31.977 --> 00:22:34.021
And the moment it does,
God help us all!
00:22:34.104 --> 00:22:35.704
This is typical
communist tactic!
00:22:35.772 --> 00:22:38.316
This is the beginning of an
American concentration camp!
00:22:38.442 --> 00:22:39.651
Order!
00:22:40.027 --> 00:22:41.486
Uh, state your name, please.
00:22:41.611 --> 00:22:43.864
Arlen Hird.
I'm a screenwriter.
00:22:43.947 --> 00:22:46.700
You understand, sir,
that if you don't answer my questions,
00:22:46.783 --> 00:22:48.577
I can hold you in contempt
of Congress?
00:22:48.660 --> 00:22:50.370
I didn't refuse yet, did I?
00:22:50.454 --> 00:22:51.913
Are you now
or have you ever been
00:22:51.997 --> 00:22:53.237
a member
of the Communist Party?
00:22:53.832 --> 00:22:55.125
Well, I'd like to answer you,
Congressman,
00:22:55.208 --> 00:22:57.044
but I need to consult
with my physician.
00:22:57.127 --> 00:22:58.128
Your physician?
Yes.
00:22:58.211 --> 00:22:59.212
I don't understand.
00:22:59.296 --> 00:23:00.380
To find out
if he can surgically
00:23:00.464 --> 00:23:01.715
remove my conscience.
00:23:03.008 --> 00:23:04.468
This is a hostile witness.
00:23:04.551 --> 00:23:07.554
This is typical
communist tactics.
00:23:15.479 --> 00:23:18.440
Arlen. Arlen, what is it?
00:23:21.985 --> 00:23:23.487
It's cancer.
00:23:23.862 --> 00:23:24.905
What?
00:23:26.865 --> 00:23:28.158
Jesus...
00:23:30.494 --> 00:23:32.174
How long have you known?
00:23:32.996 --> 00:23:35.040
Three months.
Months?
00:23:35.165 --> 00:23:36.374
Mmm-hmm.
00:23:36.833 --> 00:23:39.461
Are you receiving treatment?
00:23:39.544 --> 00:23:41.755
Uh, I don't like the options.
00:23:43.006 --> 00:23:45.050
It's lung cancer.
00:23:45.175 --> 00:23:46.927
Bad if you operate,
bad if you don't.
00:23:49.679 --> 00:23:51.932
Well, is there anything
I can do for you?
00:23:53.850 --> 00:23:56.728
No! No, it's cancer.
00:23:56.853 --> 00:23:57.854
Yeah, but...
00:23:57.938 --> 00:23:59.356
Jesus.
00:24:00.398 --> 00:24:02.943
You want to do something?
Make sure this plan works.
00:24:03.944 --> 00:24:05.445
I'm out of options.
00:24:23.797 --> 00:24:26.424
We were so young.
We thought we knew everything.
00:24:26.550 --> 00:24:28.051
We did.
00:24:28.135 --> 00:24:29.553
No, not me.
00:24:30.470 --> 00:24:33.056
No, I didn't realize how much
I loved it all
00:24:33.140 --> 00:24:34.432
until I reached a certain age,
00:24:34.558 --> 00:24:37.060
and the roles
started drying up.
00:24:37.144 --> 00:24:39.563
I remember thinking,
"Now what do you do"
00:24:39.646 --> 00:24:42.190
"when you love something
but it stops loving you back?"
00:24:42.274 --> 00:24:43.400
You fight.
00:24:43.483 --> 00:24:47.320
No, no, no. You love it more
until it surrenders.
00:24:48.738 --> 00:24:52.075
Hedda, you never left MGM
or my heart.
00:24:55.620 --> 00:24:56.997
How's your boy?
00:24:57.122 --> 00:24:58.498
Fine. Fine.
00:24:58.582 --> 00:24:59.875
Still in the navy?
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:01.251
Yes, he's First Lieutenant.
00:25:01.835 --> 00:25:03.753
You raised a real hero.
00:25:03.837 --> 00:25:05.422
Which is why I would like
to tell him
00:25:05.505 --> 00:25:07.145
that we are doing
as much for this country
00:25:07.257 --> 00:25:08.258
as he is.
00:25:08.967 --> 00:25:10.552
It's complicated.
00:25:10.635 --> 00:25:13.597
Trumbo, the others,
all have contracts.
00:25:14.848 --> 00:25:19.436
Oh, L.B., you helped build
this business as did I.
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:21.897
We're not gonna watch
these pissants defile it.
00:25:21.980 --> 00:25:25.275
I'm running
a studio here, Hedda.
00:25:25.358 --> 00:25:27.819
You think I love every person
on my payroll?
00:25:27.944 --> 00:25:29.529
Grow up.
00:25:30.864 --> 00:25:32.949
Then how about I make it
crystal clear
00:25:33.033 --> 00:25:35.535
to my 35 million readers
00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:40.290
exactly who runs Hollywood
and won't fire these traitors?
00:25:41.791 --> 00:25:45.462
How about I name names?
Real names.
00:25:45.545 --> 00:25:51.259
Jacob Warner, Jack Warner.
Schmuel Gelbfisz, Sam Goldwyn.
00:25:51.343 --> 00:25:54.429
And of course, yours.
Lazar Meir.
00:25:54.512 --> 00:25:55.972
You watch what you say to me!
00:25:56.056 --> 00:25:58.892
Forty years ago, you were
starving in some shtetl.
00:25:58.975 --> 00:26:01.186
The greatest country on Earth
takes you in,
00:26:01.311 --> 00:26:02.562
gives you wealth, power.
00:26:02.646 --> 00:26:05.565
But the second we need you,
you do nothing.
00:26:05.649 --> 00:26:08.151
And that's exactly
what my readers expect
00:26:08.235 --> 00:26:10.695
from a business
run by kikes.
00:26:10.820 --> 00:26:11.821
Get out!
00:26:15.158 --> 00:26:17.410
You know, L.B.,
I am fond of you.
00:26:18.828 --> 00:26:20.997
Some of my happiest years
were spent on this lot.
00:26:21.498 --> 00:26:23.500
Not in your office, of course.
00:26:23.583 --> 00:26:25.877
You were always trying
to fuck me on the couch.
00:26:26.002 --> 00:26:29.005
Me, trying to maintain my
virtue... Barely.
00:26:29.673 --> 00:26:30.924
But times change.
00:26:31.508 --> 00:26:33.510
Now I'd happily fuck you.
00:26:38.598 --> 00:26:42.811
All studios unanimously agree
to discharge the Hollywood Ten
00:26:42.894 --> 00:26:45.397
without compensation,
effective immediately.
00:26:45.522 --> 00:26:47.565
No studio will ever employ
00:26:47.691 --> 00:26:50.110
a member
of the Communist Party
00:26:50.193 --> 00:26:52.320
or anyone refusing
to cooperate
00:26:52.404 --> 00:26:55.365
in our struggle
with this terrible new menace.
00:26:55.907 --> 00:27:00.370
He's been loved by film fans
for almost 20 years.
00:27:00.453 --> 00:27:04.291
But have you noticed he hasn't
been on-screen much lately?
00:27:04.374 --> 00:27:06.001
Bad box office?
00:27:06.084 --> 00:27:08.837
No. Bad politics.
00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:12.549
Bad news indeed
for Mr. Edward G. Robinson.
00:27:13.049 --> 00:27:14.384
Thank you so much for coming.
00:27:14.467 --> 00:27:18.471
The Hollywood Ten are going
to court for all of us.
00:27:19.264 --> 00:27:21.224
It'll be long, expensive,
00:27:21.308 --> 00:27:24.978
so please give as much as you
can to the defense fund.
00:27:25.061 --> 00:27:27.063
Thank you for coming.
00:27:28.732 --> 00:27:30.650
Good night, my dear.
Good luck.
00:27:30.734 --> 00:27:32.134
Good night, sir. Thank you.
Bye-bye.
00:27:33.069 --> 00:27:35.697
Well, this little gathering
didn't quite have
00:27:35.780 --> 00:27:38.283
the zip and zing
of yesteryear, did it?
00:27:38.408 --> 00:27:40.452
Where are all the liberals
all of a sudden?
00:27:40.577 --> 00:27:42.829
At their lawyers'
or psychiatrists'.
00:27:42.912 --> 00:27:44.331
Hmm, likely both.
00:27:45.832 --> 00:27:47.000
For the defense fund.
00:27:47.125 --> 00:27:48.251
Eddie...
00:27:49.169 --> 00:27:50.545
Have you been working?
00:27:50.628 --> 00:27:52.922
Eh.
It's a bit slow.
00:27:56.134 --> 00:27:57.135
You sold one.
00:27:58.928 --> 00:28:00.138
Oh, the van Gogh.
00:28:01.598 --> 00:28:03.433
Got a good price.
00:28:03.516 --> 00:28:04.809
Eddie...
00:28:06.269 --> 00:28:09.064
Dear God, look at this.
Eddie, I can't let you do...
00:28:09.147 --> 00:28:10.482
I'll be fine, kid, take it.
00:28:10.607 --> 00:28:13.276
No, it's too much.
It's just too much.
00:28:15.987 --> 00:28:17.280
Take it.
00:28:19.199 --> 00:28:21.201
Eddie, I...
00:28:21.284 --> 00:28:23.995
Everything that you have...
00:28:25.205 --> 00:28:28.416
What he's trying to say
is that he loves you.
00:28:28.500 --> 00:28:31.169
I love him too,
00:28:31.294 --> 00:28:32.962
the warty son of a bitch.
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:37.801
Got a great offer on the Monet if you
want to bribe the jury.
00:28:40.136 --> 00:28:41.137
In the matter of
00:28:41.221 --> 00:28:43.681
the United States
v. Dalton Trumbo,
00:28:44.474 --> 00:28:48.478
we find the defendant guilty
of contempt of Congress.
00:28:50.980 --> 00:28:52.899
Mr. Trumbo!
Mr. Trumbo!
00:28:54.234 --> 00:28:56.277
I'll meet you in the car.
00:28:56.361 --> 00:28:58.321
Mr. Trumbo, are you
in contempt of Congress?
00:28:58.405 --> 00:29:00.824
Well, I have total contempt
of this Congress.
00:29:00.907 --> 00:29:03.368
I just thought the jury
would see why.
00:29:03.493 --> 00:29:05.412
The Supreme Court
will drop kick
00:29:05.495 --> 00:29:07.622
this verdict
into speeding traffic
00:29:07.705 --> 00:29:09.457
and end the most
shameful chapter
00:29:09.541 --> 00:29:10.708
in Congressional history.
00:29:10.834 --> 00:29:12.794
Now, that's it, boys.
We have nothing else.
00:29:12.877 --> 00:29:14.045
No, we're done, we're done.
00:29:14.546 --> 00:29:16.131
How are you doing
for money?
00:29:16.214 --> 00:29:18.758
Broke as
a bankrupt's bastard. Why?
00:29:18.842 --> 00:29:20.468
Well,
you owe me $30,000,
00:29:20.552 --> 00:29:22.762
and this appeal's gonna be
twice that.
00:29:22.846 --> 00:29:24.305
Well,
I'd better get to work.
00:29:24.389 --> 00:29:27.934
Doing what? You have no talent
to do anything else.
00:29:28.852 --> 00:29:30.728
Hollywood fights back!
00:29:32.021 --> 00:29:33.523
This is Gregory Peck.
00:29:33.606 --> 00:29:35.233
A state of near hysteria
00:29:35.358 --> 00:29:37.360
over so-called communists
in this country
00:29:37.444 --> 00:29:39.004
threatens the freedom
of other citizens.
00:29:40.071 --> 00:29:42.782
So the Un-American Committee
bears its tragic fruit.
00:29:43.783 --> 00:29:45.368
This is Lucille Ball.
00:29:45.743 --> 00:29:46.870
All of us agree that
00:29:46.953 --> 00:29:48.580
the Constitution
of the United States
00:29:48.705 --> 00:29:50.290
must be defended.
00:29:50.373 --> 00:29:51.791
But the way to do this
00:29:51.875 --> 00:29:54.961
is not by shutting up
the man you disagree with.
00:29:55.044 --> 00:29:58.173
You must fight for his right
to speak and be heard.
00:29:58.256 --> 00:30:00.884
All civil liberties
go hand in hand.
00:30:00.967 --> 00:30:03.011
And when one goes,
the others are weakened.
00:30:03.094 --> 00:30:05.013
Just as a collapse
of one pillar in a house
00:30:05.096 --> 00:30:07.056
would endanger
the whole structure.
00:30:18.401 --> 00:30:20.403
We'll send you home
in a couple of days.
00:30:22.238 --> 00:30:25.200
Well, it sounds like
you're going to live.
00:30:25.283 --> 00:30:28.119
Yeah, they got me just
well enough to go to prison.
00:30:30.622 --> 00:30:31.748
How do you feel?
00:30:32.582 --> 00:30:36.252
Breathing with one lung,
which is half as good as two.
00:30:37.253 --> 00:30:41.633
Look, Arlen,
I heard about Dorothy.
00:30:41.758 --> 00:30:43.885
Yeah, she took off.
00:30:43.968 --> 00:30:47.096
Her timing was always amazing.
00:30:48.598 --> 00:30:50.058
I'm sorry.
00:30:50.141 --> 00:30:53.269
No, well, I know. I mean,
how could you leave all this?
00:30:56.856 --> 00:30:58.650
How's it going out there?
00:31:00.026 --> 00:31:01.861
Everyone envies you.
00:31:04.697 --> 00:31:06.741
Well, why wouldn't they?
00:31:06.824 --> 00:31:08.785
I got the best room
in the joint.
00:31:09.953 --> 00:31:11.955
You should know.
You paid for it.
00:31:13.873 --> 00:31:14.993
Congratulations, Buddy.
00:31:15.083 --> 00:31:16.084
Thank you, fellas.
00:31:16.167 --> 00:31:18.586
Who needs the studios?
I am strictly independent.
00:31:18.670 --> 00:31:21.464
Got cans of film,
wads of Wall Street dough,
00:31:21.548 --> 00:31:24.259
and my favorite boss, me.
00:31:24.342 --> 00:31:25.843
Cheers.
Cheers.
00:31:29.722 --> 00:31:31.307
And you,
you crazy son of a bitch,
00:31:31.391 --> 00:31:32.809
you're gonna write
all of my movies
00:31:32.892 --> 00:31:34.811
once this Washington crap
clears up.
00:31:35.979 --> 00:31:37.480
And how will that happen?
00:31:37.730 --> 00:31:39.023
I'm not political,
thank Jesus.
00:31:39.983 --> 00:31:41.943
If they called me in,
accused me, I'd just say,
00:31:42.026 --> 00:31:43.987
"Yup, did it.
Sorry, didn't mean it."
00:31:44.821 --> 00:31:46.656
So Congress then asks,
00:31:46.739 --> 00:31:49.659
"Are you now or have you ever
been a Democrat?"
00:31:51.077 --> 00:31:55.832
I am and, God, I just feel
awful about it.
00:31:57.083 --> 00:32:00.670
Then they want the names
of other Democrats.
00:32:00.753 --> 00:32:03.256
Bill and Earl, Nate, Tom.
00:32:06.301 --> 00:32:08.094
Then I say, "Go to hell."
00:32:08.678 --> 00:32:10.346
Really?
00:32:10.430 --> 00:32:13.308
How many banks fund
enemies of the state?
00:32:14.684 --> 00:32:16.519
Your money's gone unless
you give the names
00:32:16.603 --> 00:32:18.354
of your friends here.
00:32:18.438 --> 00:32:20.273
They'll never work again,
00:32:20.356 --> 00:32:22.358
but it's the only way
you ever will.
00:32:27.655 --> 00:32:30.450
We all know each other,
our families.
00:32:31.826 --> 00:32:32.869
We're friends.
00:32:35.163 --> 00:32:37.290
What would you do, Buddy?
00:32:41.836 --> 00:32:43.713
Only you.
00:32:43.796 --> 00:32:45.965
Piss on the best day
of a guy's life.
00:32:46.049 --> 00:32:48.217
Only you!
00:32:54.682 --> 00:32:56.559
Christ's sakes.
00:32:57.727 --> 00:33:00.146
According to
the protocol set forth...
00:33:05.735 --> 00:33:07.737
And what does she say?
00:33:09.739 --> 00:33:11.741
What does the princess say?
00:33:19.248 --> 00:33:22.085
Shit... Shit!
00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:28.174
Shouldn't be any likeness...
00:33:28.383 --> 00:33:30.718
It concerns me a little bit.
00:33:32.428 --> 00:33:34.764
Oh, good morning, Nikola.
00:33:35.098 --> 00:33:37.558
I thought you weren't allowed
to write anymore.
00:33:38.267 --> 00:33:43.690
Ah. No. No, just not allowed
to put my name on it,
00:33:43.940 --> 00:33:45.608
or get paid.
00:33:45.775 --> 00:33:47.193
How does that work?
00:33:50.238 --> 00:33:51.739
Not very well.
00:33:52.949 --> 00:33:56.786
It's funny.
It's breezy and romantic.
00:33:57.286 --> 00:33:58.371
Who wrote it?
00:33:58.454 --> 00:34:01.582
You did, old boy.
00:34:01.874 --> 00:34:03.793
You stick your name
on my labor,
00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:06.629
hand it in to your studio
and we're in business.
00:34:06.796 --> 00:34:09.132
Look, it is just dumb luck
that I wasn't subpoenaed
00:34:09.215 --> 00:34:10.925
and blacklisted myself.
00:34:11.092 --> 00:34:12.635
The hearings are going
to start up again soon.
00:34:12.802 --> 00:34:14.762
I'm going to get called
and canned.
00:34:14.929 --> 00:34:16.222
Well, then quick, lad.
00:34:16.305 --> 00:34:19.559
Let's sell this little beauty
and split the take, 50-50.
00:34:19.892 --> 00:34:23.312
Ridiculous. I'll take 10%.
00:34:23.646 --> 00:34:27.650
You'll take 20. No, 30!
And that's my final offer.
00:34:27.942 --> 00:34:29.485
You're the worst
businessman ever.
00:34:29.569 --> 00:34:30.570
Mmm.
00:34:30.820 --> 00:34:32.280
I hate the title.
00:34:32.405 --> 00:34:33.823
Me too.
00:34:34.907 --> 00:34:36.117
Really?
What's wrong with it?
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:37.952
The Princess and the Peasant.
Yes.
00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:40.496
God, please, Trumbo,
it sounds like a puppet show.
00:34:41.497 --> 00:34:42.623
Well, then, change it.
00:34:42.749 --> 00:34:43.833
I did.
00:34:47.754 --> 00:34:50.006
Really? You think
this title's better?
00:34:50.089 --> 00:34:52.091
Roman Holiday.
00:34:52.467 --> 00:34:53.843
I like it.
00:34:54.302 --> 00:34:55.553
Who invited you?
00:34:55.678 --> 00:34:57.013
I did.
00:34:57.513 --> 00:34:59.515
She's my favorite Trumbo.
00:35:00.183 --> 00:35:01.851
I'm introducing legislation
00:35:01.976 --> 00:35:04.520
so in the event
of a national emergency,
00:35:05.104 --> 00:35:08.024
all communists will be sent
to internment camps.
00:35:08.191 --> 00:35:09.859
And the president
supports this?
00:35:09.942 --> 00:35:11.110
He better.
00:35:11.277 --> 00:35:13.112
Parnell, I need to speak
to you privately
00:35:13.196 --> 00:35:15.031
about your employees.
00:35:15.990 --> 00:35:16.991
Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:35:18.201 --> 00:35:19.952
As I said, Bob,
these are legitimate
00:35:20.036 --> 00:35:21.871
salaried employees
from my home state.
00:35:22.038 --> 00:35:23.039
What you didn't tell me
is that
00:35:23.122 --> 00:35:24.540
every one of them
is a relative.
00:35:24.707 --> 00:35:25.792
Which is completely legal.
00:35:25.875 --> 00:35:28.377
Except that none of them
pay taxes.
00:35:28.711 --> 00:35:30.880
Don't say anything else
without a lawyer.
00:35:40.223 --> 00:35:41.849
- No.
- Mrs. Trumbo.
00:35:42.475 --> 00:35:43.893
Mrs. Trumbo! Hi.
00:35:44.060 --> 00:35:45.478
Jeff.
00:35:45.978 --> 00:35:48.481
Ma'am, I gotta get paid.
00:35:48.731 --> 00:35:50.608
Oh. I'm so sorry.
00:35:50.733 --> 00:35:52.693
I got men with families.
00:35:53.319 --> 00:35:55.404
My husband hasn't been able
to get any work.
00:35:55.530 --> 00:35:57.073
We owe everyone.
00:35:57.240 --> 00:35:59.075
Ma'am, please.
I'm so...
00:35:59.242 --> 00:36:03.579
Cleo, we're rich!
00:36:04.747 --> 00:36:06.541
There you are, Jeffrey.
00:36:07.124 --> 00:36:09.877
You people sure live
exciting lives.
00:36:10.753 --> 00:36:12.922
Well, I thank you.
Appreciate it.
00:36:13.047 --> 00:36:14.423
Thank you, Betty!
00:36:14.590 --> 00:36:16.259
We did it, Cleo!
00:36:16.384 --> 00:36:19.053
We sold Roman Holiday!
Paramount.
00:36:19.220 --> 00:36:21.597
Our beloved Ian is just...
00:36:21.931 --> 00:36:22.932
Why, what's the matter?
00:36:23.057 --> 00:36:24.058
Judge Rutledge died.
00:36:24.225 --> 00:36:26.310
No, no, that was Judge Murphy
who died last month.
00:36:26.435 --> 00:36:27.478
And Rutledge.
00:36:27.770 --> 00:36:29.272
Last night.
00:36:36.821 --> 00:36:38.114
Mmm.
00:36:38.573 --> 00:36:40.783
Oh, now...
00:36:42.118 --> 00:36:46.247
Everything will be all right.
You'll see.
00:36:47.415 --> 00:36:49.709
Without a liberal majority
on the court,
00:36:49.792 --> 00:36:52.420
our appeal's gonna be denied.
00:36:53.629 --> 00:36:57.633
Meaning we should all be
prepared to go to prison.
00:37:06.517 --> 00:37:10.813
I wouldn't change anything
going back. Not one thing.
00:37:13.691 --> 00:37:15.985
Let's ask each other
in a year.
00:37:27.121 --> 00:37:28.372
Will you do me
a favor?
00:37:28.706 --> 00:37:30.958
Hold on to this
while I'm gone.
00:37:32.627 --> 00:37:34.045
Thank you, dear.
00:37:36.380 --> 00:37:39.383
Your mother needs to laugh
at least once a day.
00:37:39.675 --> 00:37:40.801
Deal?
00:37:40.927 --> 00:37:42.011
Okay.
00:37:43.220 --> 00:37:46.223
Where's that little
pumpkin seed?
00:37:56.525 --> 00:37:57.965
To the Hollywood Ten!
Thank you.
00:38:04.367 --> 00:38:05.910
To the Hollywood Ten!
00:38:07.036 --> 00:38:08.537
You're heroes!
00:38:43.030 --> 00:38:46.075
28 cents. Gold lighter.
00:38:46.909 --> 00:38:50.454
Wallet. Cigarette case.
00:38:55.042 --> 00:38:56.085
Raise your hands.
00:38:57.628 --> 00:39:00.423
Open your mouth. Wider.
00:39:01.048 --> 00:39:04.593
Turn your head to the right.
To the left.
00:39:05.469 --> 00:39:06.971
Tilt your head back.
00:39:08.431 --> 00:39:10.099
Spread your legs.
00:39:12.393 --> 00:39:14.603
Grab your sack
and skin it back.
00:39:16.731 --> 00:39:18.107
Turn around.
00:39:19.900 --> 00:39:21.736
Spread your cheeks.
00:39:23.946 --> 00:39:27.241
Squat. Cough.
00:39:30.619 --> 00:39:32.121
Turn around.
00:39:34.790 --> 00:39:36.125
Move out.
00:39:37.501 --> 00:39:38.794
Next!
00:39:47.344 --> 00:39:49.638
So the warden says
I gotta do right.
00:39:49.805 --> 00:39:51.474
Boy want a better job?
00:39:51.640 --> 00:39:53.976
I put him in charge of
the whole goddamn supply room.
00:39:54.143 --> 00:39:55.743
'Cause I know something
the warden don't.
00:40:04.987 --> 00:40:08.657
Truck's unloaded.
Driver needs a signature.
00:40:20.336 --> 00:40:24.173
Actually, uh,
he needs it right here.
00:40:34.725 --> 00:40:39.230
You know, if, uh...
If you need any help,
00:40:39.396 --> 00:40:42.900
I used to run shipping
at a... At a bakery.
00:40:43.901 --> 00:40:45.319
Heard you's a writer.
00:40:45.444 --> 00:40:46.862
Well, that too.
00:40:47.029 --> 00:40:48.531
And a commie.
00:40:49.824 --> 00:40:52.201
What the fuck is wrong
with you people?
00:40:52.576 --> 00:40:53.869
This is a great country.
00:40:53.994 --> 00:40:55.246
Agreed.
00:40:57.039 --> 00:40:58.374
You type?
00:41:05.214 --> 00:41:06.423
Stop.
00:41:10.344 --> 00:41:13.180
Well, now,
if only I could read it.
00:41:19.687 --> 00:41:23.065
"Protocol as to return
of goods."
00:41:23.732 --> 00:41:27.236
"There shall be triplicate
copies of Form 14-A filed"
00:41:27.403 --> 00:41:30.573
"with Supply, Shipping
and Office of the Warden."
00:41:32.616 --> 00:41:34.618
You think you're gonna
teach me the alphabet
00:41:34.785 --> 00:41:37.079
and I'm gonna shake your hand
all grateful and say,
00:41:37.246 --> 00:41:40.207
"Thank you, Mr. Trumbo.
You done change my life, sir."
00:41:40.291 --> 00:41:42.042
"I'll never forget you."
00:41:46.422 --> 00:41:49.133
I got 20 years
for killing me a white man
00:41:49.258 --> 00:41:51.051
who tried to rob my bar.
00:41:51.302 --> 00:41:54.096
I did it and I'd do it again.
00:41:54.930 --> 00:41:57.766
You look down on me
and I will fuck you up like
00:41:57.933 --> 00:41:59.268
you've never been fucked up
00:41:59.393 --> 00:42:02.730
in your whole bullshit
Beverly Hills life.
00:42:03.272 --> 00:42:06.442
Now I'm here trying to build
my time and make parole.
00:42:06.734 --> 00:42:08.611
You wanna help
make that happen?
00:42:13.824 --> 00:42:17.494
Welcome to fucking Supply,
Comrade.
00:42:24.335 --> 00:42:28.464
Dear Cleo, I don't
count the days or hours...
00:42:29.131 --> 00:42:30.966
I count the seconds.
00:42:31.300 --> 00:42:36.597
Sometimes I think I'll die
of boredom. Other times, fear.
00:42:37.181 --> 00:42:38.807
Not of this place.
00:42:38.933 --> 00:42:42.186
So far, its challenges
are all surmountable.
00:42:42.436 --> 00:42:45.147
Augmented by days
of lovely boredom.
00:42:45.314 --> 00:42:49.026
So flat and calm in the wake
of all that churning
00:42:49.193 --> 00:42:51.487
ugly luckless battle.
00:42:52.655 --> 00:42:56.992
No, my fear is for what
will happen when I get out.
00:42:57.451 --> 00:43:00.120
To our family and our country.
00:43:01.830 --> 00:43:04.333
Not all the news is worrisome.
00:43:04.833 --> 00:43:06.126
Some reminds me
00:43:06.210 --> 00:43:09.004
that what the imagination
can't conjure
00:43:09.546 --> 00:43:12.007
reality delivers with a shrug.
00:43:12.216 --> 00:43:16.845
And reality has delivered
in all its beatific wonder
00:43:17.012 --> 00:43:21.350
to the federal penal system,
J. Parnell Thomas,
00:43:21.850 --> 00:43:24.353
convicted of tax evasion.
00:43:25.020 --> 00:43:28.649
Well, look at us.
Just a couple of jailbirds.
00:43:29.692 --> 00:43:32.653
Except you actually
committed a crime.
00:43:37.658 --> 00:43:40.202
Yet in all this,
00:43:40.661 --> 00:43:45.666
I know I'm the luckiest
unlucky man ever to live,
00:43:46.208 --> 00:43:49.878
because you and the children
warm, feed,
00:43:50.045 --> 00:43:53.424
clothe, pacify,
and rejuvenate me
00:43:54.008 --> 00:43:56.218
by never leaving my heart.
00:43:57.052 --> 00:44:01.432
Love, Prisoner Number 7 551.
00:44:07.021 --> 00:44:10.733
We're not gonna take that hill
from the Japs with bullets,
00:44:10.899 --> 00:44:12.776
bombs or fists.
00:44:12.901 --> 00:44:13.901
Yeah!
00:44:13.944 --> 00:44:15.144
We're gonna take it
with blood.
00:44:15.529 --> 00:44:18.240
Whoever spills more, loses.
00:44:18.782 --> 00:44:20.868
And we don't lose.
00:44:21.201 --> 00:44:22.328
Do we?
00:44:22.453 --> 00:44:23.579
No!
00:44:30.919 --> 00:44:32.087
You lose.
00:44:32.254 --> 00:44:33.922
That's what I thought.
00:44:39.053 --> 00:44:40.888
You know John Wayne?
00:44:41.013 --> 00:44:42.806
I do.
00:44:44.892 --> 00:44:47.102
What's he like?
00:44:47.227 --> 00:44:49.396
You'd love each other.
00:44:51.440 --> 00:44:54.610
Isn't he beautiful? Okay.
00:44:56.612 --> 00:44:58.238
Mom, I got a new one.
Huh?
00:45:00.949 --> 00:45:02.451
Okay, wait.
00:45:03.494 --> 00:45:05.746
Come on, you're gonna scare
the horse.
00:45:05.954 --> 00:45:08.457
Mom, you'd better come quick!
00:45:08.957 --> 00:45:10.209
Edward Robinson,
00:45:10.292 --> 00:45:11.835
are you now
or have you ever been
00:45:11.919 --> 00:45:13.462
a member
of the Communist Party?
00:45:13.629 --> 00:45:15.005
I'm not now, sir,
00:45:15.130 --> 00:45:17.800
nor have I ever been
a member of that party.
00:45:17.966 --> 00:45:20.928
I have always been
a Liberal Democrat.
00:45:21.095 --> 00:45:22.775
But in your home
over the years,
00:45:22.930 --> 00:45:25.182
there have been political
meetings attended by those
00:45:25.265 --> 00:45:26.642
that we now know
to be communists.
00:45:26.809 --> 00:45:30.771
Yes, sir. Yes, that has now
been made clear to me.
00:45:31.188 --> 00:45:34.024
There were tremendous
activities
00:45:34.149 --> 00:45:35.484
and fundraisers...
Shit.
00:45:35.609 --> 00:45:37.778
That went on in my house
during the war.
00:45:38.320 --> 00:45:40.697
I did not know then
00:45:40.823 --> 00:45:44.034
all of their true affiliations
00:45:44.159 --> 00:45:46.286
or the work
that they were up to.
00:45:46.870 --> 00:45:47.996
It never entered my mind
00:45:48.122 --> 00:45:50.374
that any of these people
were communists.
00:45:51.166 --> 00:45:55.963
I was duped and used.
I was lied to.
00:45:56.130 --> 00:45:57.589
But who used you?
00:45:57.714 --> 00:45:59.174
Well, um...
00:45:59.675 --> 00:46:01.051
These sinister forces
00:46:01.176 --> 00:46:04.388
who probably ran
these organizations.
00:46:04.555 --> 00:46:07.516
Oh, tell us the individuals
that you have reference to.
00:46:15.190 --> 00:46:16.358
Mr. Robinson?
00:46:19.820 --> 00:46:22.698
Well, uh,
you had Albert Maltz.
00:46:24.241 --> 00:46:25.576
Um...
00:46:26.368 --> 00:46:30.706
I knew Frank Tuttle
and that other fellow.
00:46:30.873 --> 00:46:32.624
That top fellow
00:46:32.708 --> 00:46:36.044
who they say is the, uh,
commissar out there. Um...
00:46:36.378 --> 00:46:37.713
Arlen Hird?
00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:39.214
Yes, yes, Arlen Hird.
00:46:40.007 --> 00:46:41.633
I didn't know Dmytryk at all.
00:46:41.758 --> 00:46:43.385
I'm a commissar now.
00:46:43.552 --> 00:46:47.556
Ian McLellan Hunter...
00:46:49.349 --> 00:46:53.020
and, uh, Dalton Trumbo.
00:46:55.063 --> 00:46:56.482
Thank you,
Mr. Robinson.
00:46:56.565 --> 00:46:58.066
Thank you, sir.
00:46:58.233 --> 00:47:00.736
Mr. Chairman,
I have no further questions.
00:47:01.570 --> 00:47:03.697
Snitch like that in here,
00:47:04.531 --> 00:47:07.075
you end up fucking dead.
00:47:17.794 --> 00:47:20.047
Eddie ought to go back to work.
He did what he had to.
00:47:20.214 --> 00:47:22.925
No, no, he did
what he was forced to do.
00:47:23.258 --> 00:47:25.469
Well, the point is,
he did it.
00:47:26.762 --> 00:47:27.930
Brave men and boys
00:47:28.055 --> 00:47:30.098
are fighting this battle
against communism.
00:47:30.265 --> 00:47:33.560
They are sacrificing in ways
we can't even imagine.
00:47:33.936 --> 00:47:36.438
And you wanna talk about some
asshole's movie career?
00:47:36.939 --> 00:47:39.566
I'd see Eddie Robinson
and everyone like him dead
00:47:39.650 --> 00:47:42.986
if it'd bring back one boy
from Korea. Just one.
00:47:43.320 --> 00:47:44.780
So what are you saying?
00:47:44.905 --> 00:47:47.115
Guys like Eddie cooperate
and get nothing?
00:47:47.783 --> 00:47:49.284
That isn't right.
00:47:49.409 --> 00:47:50.827
Careful, Duke.
00:47:51.119 --> 00:47:52.496
Or what, Hedda?
00:47:54.414 --> 00:47:58.001
If I'm not careful, what?
00:47:58.585 --> 00:48:01.421
I had no idea
you were such a softie.
00:48:01.755 --> 00:48:05.467
That's me all right.
All cuddles.
00:48:13.267 --> 00:48:14.935
Proud of ya, Eddie.
00:48:15.018 --> 00:48:17.646
Wasn't easy, I know.
But you did good.
00:48:18.605 --> 00:48:19.940
Thanks, Duke.
00:48:20.315 --> 00:48:23.527
I'm gonna call the studios.
The offers will pour in.
00:48:29.366 --> 00:48:30.826
Sure.
00:48:34.663 --> 00:48:35.831
Thanks.
00:48:46.466 --> 00:48:48.218
One of the greatest
peacetime spy dramas
00:48:48.343 --> 00:48:49.344
in the nation's history
00:48:49.469 --> 00:48:50.846
reaches its climax,
00:48:50.971 --> 00:48:53.807
as Julius and Ethel Rosenberg
are sentenced to death
00:48:54.141 --> 00:48:57.185
for revealing atomic secrets
to Soviet Russia.
00:48:58.395 --> 00:49:00.647
The junior senator from
Wisconsin, Joseph McCarthy,
00:49:01.023 --> 00:49:02.232
is ramping up
his investigation
00:49:02.357 --> 00:49:04.026
into alleged communists
he believes
00:49:04.192 --> 00:49:05.569
are infiltrating
our government,
00:49:05.694 --> 00:49:07.195
our military, and our schools.
00:49:07.362 --> 00:49:09.698
Because the enemy
has been able
00:49:09.823 --> 00:49:12.242
to get the traitors and dupes
00:49:12.409 --> 00:49:15.037
to do his work
within our government.
00:49:15.704 --> 00:49:17.914
One communist
on the faculty
00:49:18.040 --> 00:49:21.251
of one university
is one communist too many.
00:49:21.668 --> 00:49:23.962
A man is either loyal
or he's disloyal.
00:49:30.177 --> 00:49:31.553
Thank you, Billy.
00:50:38.453 --> 00:50:40.038
They're here!
They're here! Dad!
00:50:40.122 --> 00:50:41.790
Dad! They're home!
00:50:45.794 --> 00:50:49.423
I'm being attacked by giants!
Ah!
00:50:49.506 --> 00:50:51.299
What have you
beautiful creatures
00:50:51.425 --> 00:50:52.425
done with my little ones?
00:50:52.467 --> 00:50:53.468
Oh, Dad, we missed you.
00:50:53.593 --> 00:50:56.179
- Christopher. Mitzi.
- Hi, Dad.
00:50:56.972 --> 00:50:58.306
My goodness.
00:50:58.932 --> 00:51:00.809
Nikola, look at you.
00:51:00.934 --> 00:51:02.811
She got real tall.
00:51:03.812 --> 00:51:05.105
Oh, is that lipstick?
00:51:05.230 --> 00:51:06.523
Dad...
00:51:08.191 --> 00:51:11.319
Oh, I've missed you so much.
All of you.
00:51:12.904 --> 00:51:14.504
Let's go inside.
I wanna hear everything.
00:51:27.002 --> 00:51:29.212
Oh, I'm terribly sorry...
00:51:29.504 --> 00:51:34.384
Oh, Buddy!
Well, how are you?
00:51:35.469 --> 00:51:37.179
I got nothing to say to you.
00:51:44.394 --> 00:51:46.313
Looks like prison
has given us the plague.
00:51:46.480 --> 00:51:50.734
Yeah, well, that Buddy Ross,
he was always an asshole.
00:51:51.067 --> 00:51:52.152
Yeah.
00:51:52.277 --> 00:51:53.361
He's in trouble too.
00:51:53.904 --> 00:51:55.697
Three movies, three flops.
Oh, really?
00:51:55.822 --> 00:51:56.907
Mmm-hmm.
00:51:57.532 --> 00:51:58.867
Look at him.
He's trying to sell his soul,
00:51:58.992 --> 00:51:59.993
but he can't find it.
00:52:02.370 --> 00:52:03.890
I just hope he stays afloat
long enough
00:52:03.997 --> 00:52:05.237
to get the shit
sued out of him.
00:52:05.373 --> 00:52:07.542
Oh, really? By whom?
00:52:08.043 --> 00:52:09.294
By me and you
and all of us.
00:52:09.377 --> 00:52:10.545
Jeez...
00:52:10.712 --> 00:52:12.589
We use their capitalist system
against them...
00:52:12.756 --> 00:52:14.841
In civil court.
We go after their money.
00:52:15.008 --> 00:52:16.551
No. No. No.
For what they did to us!
00:52:16.718 --> 00:52:18.261
We make them
swear under oath...
00:52:18.386 --> 00:52:20.222
No, no, no. Christ!
00:52:20.388 --> 00:52:22.891
Haven't you spent
enough time in court?
00:52:23.058 --> 00:52:25.101
I know I have. Jesus Christ.
00:52:25.268 --> 00:52:26.895
Well, what else
are we supposed to do?
00:52:28.271 --> 00:52:32.526
We do the one thing
everyone says we can't.
00:52:36.071 --> 00:52:39.616
Look, you're a great writer.
We make shit.
00:52:39.741 --> 00:52:41.243
I don't see it.
00:52:42.285 --> 00:52:44.329
Mr. King, I'm a screenwriter.
00:52:44.412 --> 00:52:46.540
If I couldn't write shit,
I'd starve.
00:52:46.623 --> 00:52:48.416
Trumbo, we can't afford you.
00:52:49.584 --> 00:52:54.339
Well, how much did you pay
for the script of that?
00:52:54.422 --> 00:52:56.758
Bad Men of Tombstone
00:52:59.594 --> 00:53:00.762
$1,200.
00:53:02.597 --> 00:53:06.852
All right. I'll write you
a movie for $1,200, then.
00:53:06.935 --> 00:53:08.645
And you don't want
your name on it?
00:53:08.770 --> 00:53:10.981
No, you don't want
my name on it.
00:53:11.106 --> 00:53:12.440
You got that right.
00:53:13.024 --> 00:53:17.028
Especially if you're still,
you know, up to stuff.
00:53:17.112 --> 00:53:18.196
Are you?
00:53:18.697 --> 00:53:20.156
Perpetually.
00:53:21.491 --> 00:53:23.118
Jesus.
00:53:23.618 --> 00:53:24.786
You got any ideas?
00:53:25.954 --> 00:53:28.623
Well, I just got out
of prison.
00:53:28.707 --> 00:53:30.333
What about crime?
00:53:30.458 --> 00:53:33.128
A story of a gangster,
his rise and fall.
00:53:33.211 --> 00:53:34.838
I've seen that a few times.
00:53:34.963 --> 00:53:36.798
Because it always makes money.
00:53:36.882 --> 00:53:39.009
All right,
when do I get my goods?
00:53:40.051 --> 00:53:41.303
Three days.
00:53:41.386 --> 00:53:43.763
A 100-page screenplay
in three days?
00:53:43.847 --> 00:53:45.599
Are you trying to fuck me?
00:53:45.682 --> 00:53:47.726
'Cause if you fuck me,
I will fuck you.
00:53:48.977 --> 00:53:51.146
Mr. King,
I've heard this speech.
00:53:52.731 --> 00:53:54.649
It was better in jail.
00:54:31.019 --> 00:54:32.020
"No, boss..."
00:54:33.855 --> 00:54:34.940
"He..."
00:54:40.028 --> 00:54:43.615
Are you kidding me with this?
Hymie, get out here!
00:54:45.200 --> 00:54:49.913
Hymie, pay the man!
He's a genius. Beautiful.
00:54:50.038 --> 00:54:53.792
Wait a minute, look.
We got Killer in the Swamp.
00:54:53.875 --> 00:54:56.378
The best character's
the swamp. Oh, oh.
00:54:56.544 --> 00:54:57.545
Women in Prison.
00:54:57.629 --> 00:54:59.172
Dames fighting
in their underwear.
00:54:59.255 --> 00:55:01.466
It's perfect,
except it stinks.
00:55:01.549 --> 00:55:02.592
What else, Hymie?
00:55:02.717 --> 00:55:03.957
Pirates.
Can't afford the ocean.
00:55:04.219 --> 00:55:05.220
That's it.
00:55:05.804 --> 00:55:06.930
Fix them all.
00:55:07.055 --> 00:55:10.058
You want more, we got more.
Oh, baby!
00:55:14.229 --> 00:55:16.523
So, what do you think
of the new neighborhood?
00:55:16.606 --> 00:55:18.108
- I like it.
- Yeah, this is nice.
00:55:18.233 --> 00:55:19.609
Yeah, Dad.
Well...
00:55:24.322 --> 00:55:26.241
It's gonna be good
being in town.
00:55:28.410 --> 00:55:30.120
Whoa, look at that!
00:55:35.291 --> 00:55:36.611
I brought you
some lemonade.
00:55:36.668 --> 00:55:38.003
Thank you.
00:55:38.086 --> 00:55:39.546
Hard work.
You holding up okay?
00:55:39.629 --> 00:55:41.509
- Pretty good.
- All right, thank you.
00:55:49.806 --> 00:55:50.974
We forgot the towels!
00:55:51.099 --> 00:55:53.643
Oh, shoot!
Wait for me. Wait for me.
00:56:21.463 --> 00:56:23.131
Mitzi... Shh!
00:56:41.149 --> 00:56:47.655
Well, there are many angry and
ignorant people in the world.
00:56:49.157 --> 00:56:52.160
They seem to be breeding
in record numbers.
00:56:53.244 --> 00:56:55.580
Now, all we can do as a family
00:56:55.663 --> 00:57:00.085
is stick together
and remain vigilant.
00:57:14.557 --> 00:57:16.434
The Mouth of Truth.
00:57:16.518 --> 00:57:18.311
Legend is that
if you're given to lying,
00:57:18.394 --> 00:57:20.063
and you put your hand
in there,
00:57:20.188 --> 00:57:22.273
it'll be bitten off.
00:57:22.524 --> 00:57:24.275
Oh, what a horrid idea!
00:57:25.068 --> 00:57:26.111
Let's see you do it.
00:57:31.407 --> 00:57:33.284
Let's see you do it.
00:57:35.370 --> 00:57:36.538
Sure.
00:57:49.592 --> 00:57:50.802
Hello.
00:57:50.885 --> 00:57:52.554
You beast!
00:57:53.555 --> 00:57:56.599
It's a huge hit.
Great reviews.
00:57:56.724 --> 00:58:00.061
I haven't worked
in nine months. You?
00:58:01.604 --> 00:58:03.398
Well, there aren't quite
enough zeros
00:58:03.481 --> 00:58:07.152
in a King Brothers' salary
to survive,
00:58:07.235 --> 00:58:10.572
but they need scripts like
an army needs toilet paper.
00:58:10.989 --> 00:58:14.701
Quality minimum,
quantity maximum.
00:58:14.784 --> 00:58:17.036
You'd think that when
the artistic ambitions
00:58:17.120 --> 00:58:19.080
of a movie are non-existent,
00:58:19.164 --> 00:58:21.791
the work would be tossed off
in a week.
00:58:21.916 --> 00:58:25.587
But consistently pleasing
two former pinball salesmen
00:58:25.670 --> 00:58:28.464
turns out to be
a high hurdle indeed.
00:58:28.590 --> 00:58:31.718
And I've become a stranger
in my own house.
00:58:31.801 --> 00:58:36.806
Every workweek is seven days.
Every day is 18 hours.
00:58:36.931 --> 00:58:39.601
Every minute,
I'm further behind.
00:58:40.602 --> 00:58:42.645
They need five of you.
00:58:46.191 --> 00:58:48.985
Okay, the only question
is, can these pinkos write?
00:58:49.110 --> 00:58:51.905
Well, the dapper gentleman
in the gray suit
00:58:51.988 --> 00:58:54.157
is Ian McLellan Hunter.
00:58:54.282 --> 00:58:55.408
Guy who wrote Roman Holiday.
00:58:55.491 --> 00:58:57.285
Guy who just got subpoenaed.
00:58:57.368 --> 00:58:59.787
Guy who just got nominated
for an Academy Award.
00:58:59.871 --> 00:59:02.540
Everyone at that table's
been nominated.
00:59:03.333 --> 00:59:07.879
There's Alvah Bessie,
and Adrian Scott. Arlen Hird.
00:59:07.962 --> 00:59:11.966
And Ring Lardner, Jr.
And Albert Maltz and...
00:59:14.802 --> 00:59:16.304
Um...
00:59:16.387 --> 00:59:18.181
It'll be like this.
00:59:18.306 --> 00:59:20.558
I'll find the writer
and work with him.
00:59:20.642 --> 00:59:22.602
He'll deliver
the script to me.
00:59:22.685 --> 00:59:24.187
If it's good,
I'll give it to you.
00:59:24.312 --> 00:59:27.357
If it needs work,
I'll fix it.
00:59:27.815 --> 00:59:29.984
No one gets paid
until you're happy.
00:59:30.068 --> 00:59:33.321
And these writers, they're...
They're all...
00:59:34.322 --> 00:59:35.990
I mean, they're all black...
00:59:36.074 --> 00:59:37.075
Blacklisted.
00:59:37.158 --> 00:59:38.618
Jesus, you're
such a chicken-shit.
00:59:39.994 --> 00:59:41.955
You know, we're at war
with the communists.
00:59:42.038 --> 00:59:43.081
No we're not.
00:59:43.164 --> 00:59:44.164
It's a new kind of war.
00:59:44.207 --> 00:59:46.000
Yeah, if it
doesn't exist, very new.
00:59:46.501 --> 00:59:48.002
What about the Rosenbergs?
00:59:48.419 --> 00:59:49.459
What about the Rosenbergs?
00:59:49.545 --> 00:59:50.588
They stole the atom bomb.
00:59:50.672 --> 00:59:53.174
They didn't steal it off
a fucking camera truck.
00:59:54.092 --> 00:59:57.262
So look,
we bought a gorilla suit.
00:59:58.846 --> 01:00:00.056
We gotta use it.
01:00:04.352 --> 01:00:05.353
Oh.
01:00:06.604 --> 01:00:07.605
Well.
01:00:07.689 --> 01:00:09.274
So,
you had five jobs.
01:00:09.357 --> 01:00:10.358
Mmm-hmm.
01:00:10.441 --> 01:00:12.402
And now we got them
and now you got none?
01:00:12.527 --> 01:00:14.570
Oh, now I'm free to
get five more jobs
01:00:14.696 --> 01:00:16.239
and five more writers.
01:00:16.364 --> 01:00:18.157
And you each get
five more jobs
01:00:18.241 --> 01:00:20.326
and five more writers
and so on.
01:00:20.410 --> 01:00:21.411
To keep that going,
01:00:21.536 --> 01:00:23.079
we'd have to write
every script in the business.
01:00:23.204 --> 01:00:27.166
Oh, Arlen,
what a devious lad.
01:00:28.543 --> 01:00:29.543
So who wants to write
01:00:29.585 --> 01:00:31.170
a gorilla movie?
01:00:31.254 --> 01:00:32.922
Who doesn't?
01:00:33.047 --> 01:00:36.342
We now work at midnight
01:00:36.426 --> 01:00:40.430
in thick fog among strangers.
01:00:42.557 --> 01:00:43.933
Not literally.
01:00:44.392 --> 01:00:46.311
We're running
a family business.
01:00:46.394 --> 01:00:48.980
We'll be adding
new phone lines,
01:00:49.063 --> 01:00:52.942
and when answering,
never say, "Trumbo residence."
01:00:53.067 --> 01:00:55.486
I'll be writing for
various producers
01:00:55.570 --> 01:00:57.322
under different names.
01:00:57.405 --> 01:00:59.782
Whomever they ask for,
you come find me.
01:00:59.907 --> 01:01:01.075
Or take a message.
01:01:06.748 --> 01:01:07.915
Hello?
01:01:08.041 --> 01:01:09.125
Is John Abbott there?
01:01:09.250 --> 01:01:10.752
No, sir,
may I take a message?
01:01:10.835 --> 01:01:14.130
The door must be
answered at all hours.
01:01:16.132 --> 01:01:19.260
Got a pickup for
Sally Stubblefield.
01:01:22.472 --> 01:01:24.015
Can I get your mom to sign?
01:01:28.644 --> 01:01:29.687
Thank you.
01:01:32.440 --> 01:01:36.027
Dictation, shorthand
and typing will be learned.
01:01:36.110 --> 01:01:37.487
Those of legal age
01:01:37.653 --> 01:01:40.365
will have one of the most
important jobs imaginable.
01:01:40.448 --> 01:01:41.449
Courier.
01:01:42.367 --> 01:01:44.744
Scripts must be
delivered to producers
01:01:44.827 --> 01:01:46.954
without raising suspicion.
01:01:47.038 --> 01:01:49.791
Any questions? Concerns?
01:01:50.375 --> 01:01:52.377
Yes, Nikola.
Is there a schedule?
01:01:52.460 --> 01:01:53.503
A what?
01:01:53.628 --> 01:01:54.712
I need to know
when I can do homework.
01:01:54.796 --> 01:01:56.589
And I'm part of
a fundraising committee
01:01:56.672 --> 01:01:58.132
for Negro voting rights.
01:01:58.216 --> 01:01:59.592
Plus, every other Friday,
01:01:59.675 --> 01:02:01.552
we have meetings
for Student Council.
01:02:01.636 --> 01:02:02.970
I'm... I have to...
01:02:03.054 --> 01:02:05.056
Niki, we'll figure
something out, sweetheart.
01:02:05.807 --> 01:02:06.808
Won't we?
01:02:08.851 --> 01:02:10.019
And protests continued
01:02:10.144 --> 01:02:12.522
as the Supreme Court
may soon take up
01:02:12.647 --> 01:02:14.649
the issue of
racial segregation.
01:02:14.982 --> 01:02:16.609
Negros in Southern
towns and cities
01:02:16.692 --> 01:02:19.028
have taken to the streets
in large numbers.
01:02:19.153 --> 01:02:22.490
All under close scrutiny
by local law enforcement.
01:02:22.573 --> 01:02:24.409
There have been
unconfirmed reports
01:02:24.492 --> 01:02:26.369
of disturbances and rioting.
01:02:26.494 --> 01:02:27.620
But it is not clear
01:02:27.703 --> 01:02:30.289
if the violence was
initiated by protesters...
01:02:30.373 --> 01:02:31.916
Nikola!
01:02:32.041 --> 01:02:33.584
Or white vigilante groups.
01:02:33.709 --> 01:02:36.295
Beyond the South,
through the nation...
01:02:36.379 --> 01:02:38.673
Now, there you go.
01:02:38.756 --> 01:02:41.008
A few mistakes, not many.
01:02:41.551 --> 01:02:42.593
All right.
01:02:42.677 --> 01:02:45.513
All top-salaried
government officials
01:02:45.596 --> 01:02:46.848
should make a full
public statement
01:02:46.931 --> 01:02:48.015
of their income...
01:02:48.349 --> 01:02:51.519
This concludes our
program scheduled for today.
01:03:16.627 --> 01:03:19.630
Which one is Graham Tauper?
01:03:21.382 --> 01:03:22.842
Nympho Nun.
01:03:22.925 --> 01:03:24.051
Oh.
01:03:24.177 --> 01:03:25.261
Great job.
01:03:26.095 --> 01:03:29.515
Uh, Elwood Carr,
Murder at the Circus.
01:03:29.599 --> 01:03:31.476
It needs work.
I knew the clown did it.
01:03:31.559 --> 01:03:33.227
It's always the clown.
01:03:34.395 --> 01:03:36.939
So you are
The Alien and the Farm Girl.
01:03:37.064 --> 01:03:38.065
Yeah.
01:03:38.649 --> 01:03:40.026
So you wrote the alien
01:03:40.109 --> 01:03:42.111
talking about the rights
of the worker.
01:03:42.778 --> 01:03:44.947
The pathology of capitalism.
01:03:45.573 --> 01:03:48.159
The complacency
of the bourgeoisie.
01:03:48.242 --> 01:03:50.703
I don't even know what it is
and I fucking hate it.
01:03:50.786 --> 01:03:52.538
Well, the idea
was to use the...
01:03:52.622 --> 01:03:54.248
I paid you to
write a script about
01:03:54.332 --> 01:03:58.878
a guy with a giant bug head
shtupping a girl in a hayloft.
01:03:58.961 --> 01:04:00.129
And you write shit
01:04:00.254 --> 01:04:03.674
that's gonna get me
subpoenaed, and stinks!
01:04:04.967 --> 01:04:06.302
Fix it!
01:04:07.136 --> 01:04:08.638
Well, fuck Frank King.
01:04:08.763 --> 01:04:11.516
I said, until he's happy,
I'd rewrite.
01:04:11.599 --> 01:04:13.518
So you're gonna
stay up with that all night,
01:04:13.601 --> 01:04:15.269
for that crap?
01:04:15.353 --> 01:04:16.354
For what?
01:04:16.437 --> 01:04:19.023
To get it to his high literary
and political standards?
01:04:19.106 --> 01:04:22.818
Well, it shouldn't be
to anyone's political standards.
01:04:22.944 --> 01:04:24.570
It's The Alien
and the Farm Girl,
01:04:24.654 --> 01:04:25.655
for Christ's sake.
01:04:25.780 --> 01:04:27.114
What the hell
were you thinking?
01:04:27.198 --> 01:04:28.533
I was thinking.
01:04:28.616 --> 01:04:32.036
That's why I'm a writer.
To say things that matter.
01:04:32.119 --> 01:04:33.454
Remember that?
01:04:33.538 --> 01:04:37.667
I was a reporter. I was
nominated for a Pulitzer.
01:04:37.792 --> 01:04:41.128
I fought in Spain,
and I know Ernest Hemingway.
01:04:41.212 --> 01:04:43.965
I actually... I know him.
Oh, bullshit.
01:04:44.048 --> 01:04:45.174
And he knows me.
01:04:45.299 --> 01:04:47.677
If I walked into
a bar in Paris, he...
01:04:47.802 --> 01:04:49.136
Maybe not my name,
but he'll...
01:04:49.220 --> 01:04:50.263
I'll get a wave.
01:04:50.346 --> 01:04:51.681
Yeah.
01:04:51.806 --> 01:04:54.809
You... You won the
National fucking Book Award.
01:04:55.393 --> 01:04:56.852
I mean, what are we doing?
01:05:01.524 --> 01:05:02.525
Okay, so the alien...
01:05:03.484 --> 01:05:05.570
The alien
impregnates the farm girl.
01:05:05.653 --> 01:05:06.737
Right.
Why?
01:05:06.821 --> 01:05:08.698
Because he wants to
inseminate her
01:05:08.823 --> 01:05:10.283
and propagate a new species
01:05:10.366 --> 01:05:11.534
on Earth and take over?
No.
01:05:11.659 --> 01:05:15.162
Because she reminds him
of the girl he left behind.
01:05:15.746 --> 01:05:16.789
But he's got a bug head.
01:05:16.872 --> 01:05:19.000
His girlfriend's probably got
a bug head back home.
01:05:19.083 --> 01:05:21.294
You don't get hung up
on the looks of someone.
01:05:21.377 --> 01:05:22.837
He's falling
in love with her.
01:05:23.838 --> 01:05:25.256
Uh, okay.
01:05:25.339 --> 01:05:27.592
You're over-thinking.
01:05:32.263 --> 01:05:34.098
Are you all right?
Yeah.
01:05:34.181 --> 01:05:35.891
You want to do this later?
01:05:36.017 --> 01:05:37.685
No. Go, please.
01:05:40.855 --> 01:05:42.231
All right.
01:05:42.356 --> 01:05:46.444
I mean, do you ever miss
writing something...
01:05:46.527 --> 01:05:47.903
Forget great, just good?
01:05:49.196 --> 01:05:52.033
I mean, you must
have ideas still, right?
01:05:52.908 --> 01:05:54.702
I've got a few.
01:05:54.785 --> 01:05:57.705
There's one
that won't go away.
01:05:57.788 --> 01:06:03.502
Cleo and I are in Mexico
at a bullfight years ago.
01:06:03.586 --> 01:06:06.589
And the bull dies.
01:06:06.756 --> 01:06:11.010
And, uh, thousands of people
are just cheering.
01:06:11.093 --> 01:06:12.928
Three weren't.
01:06:13.054 --> 01:06:17.933
Cleo, me and this
young boy down front,
01:06:19.935 --> 01:06:21.604
crying.
01:06:23.981 --> 01:06:26.108
Always wondered why.
01:06:28.110 --> 01:06:30.488
Well, you
write it and you'll know.
01:06:32.615 --> 01:06:37.411
But please promise me,
not for Frank fucking King.
01:06:38.663 --> 01:06:39.914
Please.
01:06:41.582 --> 01:06:43.084
To present the writing awards,
01:06:43.167 --> 01:06:45.294
here is an actor
who also reads.
01:06:45.378 --> 01:06:46.796
Mr. Kirk Douglas.
01:06:46.879 --> 01:06:49.840
Niki, hurry!
01:06:49.924 --> 01:06:52.009
Who's doing it?
01:06:52.093 --> 01:06:53.427
Kirk Douglas!
01:06:53.552 --> 01:06:54.887
I'm coming,
I'm coming!
01:06:58.891 --> 01:07:00.184
The envelope.
01:07:02.436 --> 01:07:05.648
And the Oscar goes to
01:07:05.731 --> 01:07:06.816
Roman Holiday
01:07:06.899 --> 01:07:08.567
by Ian McLellan Hunter.
01:07:08.651 --> 01:07:12.905
Yes! That's you, Dad,
that's you!
01:07:12.988 --> 01:07:15.199
Dad, that is fantastic!
01:07:19.537 --> 01:07:22.623
This is accepted on behalf
of Ian McLellan Hunter.
01:07:22.707 --> 01:07:24.917
So do we get to be
happy now?
01:07:36.303 --> 01:07:38.889
I don't want it.
01:07:38.973 --> 01:07:40.933
Well, I don't want it.
01:07:41.016 --> 01:07:42.309
Your name's on it.
01:07:43.644 --> 01:07:44.770
You wrote it.
01:07:45.187 --> 01:07:46.747
They gave it to you.
01:07:48.816 --> 01:07:50.860
And it's done me wonders.
01:07:52.611 --> 01:07:54.321
Here's the gorilla script.
01:07:54.947 --> 01:07:55.948
Huh.
01:07:56.240 --> 01:07:57.533
Hey, Dad.
Ah?
01:07:57.616 --> 01:07:59.201
Phone for you.
01:07:59.326 --> 01:08:00.953
For which name?
01:08:01.036 --> 01:08:03.414
No, you. Some guy
named Buddy Ross.
01:08:03.497 --> 01:08:04.498
Huh.
01:08:06.208 --> 01:08:11.088
So, is the rumor true?
You wrote Roman Holiday?
01:08:13.924 --> 01:08:15.968
What can I do for you, Buddy?
01:08:16.594 --> 01:08:20.848
My movies have all bombed.
Dug me into a hole.
01:08:20.931 --> 01:08:22.767
I finally got something going.
01:08:22.850 --> 01:08:23.976
Classy.
01:08:24.059 --> 01:08:27.521
Three big stars.
The script...
01:08:29.231 --> 01:08:32.109
What script?
There is no script.
01:08:32.193 --> 01:08:33.194
I got 11 writers
who fucked me
01:08:33.277 --> 01:08:34.653
and now the actors
are gonna pull out.
01:08:34.737 --> 01:08:38.699
And if they do,
I lose everything.
01:08:39.325 --> 01:08:41.702
When do you shoot?
01:08:41.786 --> 01:08:43.120
Ten days.
01:08:44.371 --> 01:08:45.790
Is there anything?
01:08:52.129 --> 01:08:54.924
There'd be no credit,
obviously.
01:08:55.007 --> 01:08:57.009
I can't pay you till
we start shooting.
01:09:00.638 --> 01:09:03.474
I wouldn't blame you
if you spit in my face.
01:09:04.600 --> 01:09:06.977
But we did good stuff
back then.
01:09:08.437 --> 01:09:09.980
We really did.
01:09:13.776 --> 01:09:15.110
Please.
01:09:17.905 --> 01:09:22.159
I owe the King Brothers
a rewrite.
01:09:22.243 --> 01:09:23.869
And I can't do both.
01:09:25.079 --> 01:09:27.706
Here it is. I need
you to take over.
01:09:28.916 --> 01:09:30.709
So you can help that
great guy, Buddy Ross.
01:09:30.793 --> 01:09:31.794
Mmm-mmm.
01:09:31.877 --> 01:09:34.129
So we can keep tearing down
the blacklist.
01:09:34.213 --> 01:09:36.340
Oh, Jesus, here we go.
01:09:36.423 --> 01:09:37.863
This is going to be
a very big movie,
01:09:37.925 --> 01:09:39.051
and if Buddy
gets a good script...
01:09:39.134 --> 01:09:40.135
Which you're gonna give him.
01:09:40.219 --> 01:09:41.846
No, which I am
going to sell him.
01:09:41.929 --> 01:09:43.472
For money, 'cause that's why
we did all of this, right?
01:09:43.556 --> 01:09:44.598
Was for the money.
01:09:44.682 --> 01:09:46.976
Why can you not see this?
01:09:47.059 --> 01:09:51.230
If we get one big movie,
we can get all the big movies.
01:09:51.313 --> 01:09:52.898
And then this
whole rotten thing
01:09:52.982 --> 01:09:54.567
could collapse
on the sheer irony
01:09:54.650 --> 01:09:57.194
that every unemployable
writer is employed.
01:09:57.278 --> 01:09:59.446
Jesus Christ, do you
have to say everything
01:09:59.530 --> 01:10:01.824
like it's going to be
chiseled into a rock?
01:10:01.907 --> 01:10:04.201
I'm not gonna help you
help Buddy Ross!
01:10:04.285 --> 01:10:05.744
God's sake!
01:10:05.828 --> 01:10:07.454
- You are against every...
- No, I...
01:10:07.580 --> 01:10:09.915
- solid idea that comes up.
- Let's do something!
01:10:09.999 --> 01:10:11.667
These fuckers did things!
01:10:11.750 --> 01:10:14.962
We should be suing that
cockroach into the ground
01:10:15.087 --> 01:10:17.131
along with those congressmen...
There's an idea.
01:10:17.214 --> 01:10:18.215
Yes, and the producers!
Very good one.
01:10:18.299 --> 01:10:19.717
Yes, and the studios!
That'll be better.
01:10:19.800 --> 01:10:21.677
We should sue them!
Oh, yes, brilliant!
01:10:21.760 --> 01:10:24.179
Keep losing. Give all
of your money away to lawyers!
01:10:24.263 --> 01:10:25.848
I'd rather lose
for the right reasons.
01:10:25.931 --> 01:10:27.016
Why?
01:10:27.099 --> 01:10:29.393
It's still losing.
01:10:29.476 --> 01:10:34.315
You lose. I lose.
We all lose!
01:10:34.398 --> 01:10:36.233
Don't you see that?
01:10:36.317 --> 01:10:39.862
And the whole goddamn country
stays scared and dead.
01:10:40.529 --> 01:10:41.530
Well, you really think
01:10:41.614 --> 01:10:42.990
you can go on
living like this forever?
01:10:43.073 --> 01:10:44.867
Well, I'm not gonna have to.
01:10:47.745 --> 01:10:51.665
Arlen, we can do this.
01:10:51.749 --> 01:10:54.001
We can beat them.
We can win!
01:10:54.084 --> 01:10:55.961
I don't care if I win.
Bullshit!
01:10:56.045 --> 01:10:57.171
Everybody wants to win.
01:10:57.254 --> 01:10:59.798
No, you want to win.
I want to change things.
01:10:59.882 --> 01:11:00.883
I want to win
01:11:01.008 --> 01:11:02.648
so that I can change things.
No you don't!
01:11:02.676 --> 01:11:03.677
You want to win so that
01:11:03.761 --> 01:11:05.554
you can get an Oscar with
your name on it this time.
01:11:05.638 --> 01:11:08.182
And so you can get more money
that you burn through,
01:11:08.265 --> 01:11:09.683
writing shit for idiots!
01:11:09.767 --> 01:11:11.769
Why do I have to
explain everything to you
01:11:11.852 --> 01:11:13.187
like you're a fucking child?
01:11:13.270 --> 01:11:14.271
You don't have to.
01:11:14.355 --> 01:11:15.648
You really don't have to.
Piss off!
01:11:15.731 --> 01:11:18.317
You know, you do what you do
and that's fine for you.
01:11:18.400 --> 01:11:20.945
But don't pretend that
you getting your career back
01:11:21.028 --> 01:11:23.864
is part of some great crusade
for mankind. Okay?
01:11:23.948 --> 01:11:25.950
I'm doing this for everyone.
01:11:29.244 --> 01:11:30.621
Arlen...
01:11:43.676 --> 01:11:46.220
Fucking idiot.
01:12:28.387 --> 01:12:32.391
Happy birthday to you.
01:12:32.474 --> 01:12:36.979
Happy birthday, dear Nikola.
01:12:37.688 --> 01:12:42.192
Happy birthday to you.
01:12:42.860 --> 01:12:44.403
Make a wish.
01:12:45.070 --> 01:12:46.321
Ah.
01:12:46.613 --> 01:12:47.990
I got it.
01:12:48.615 --> 01:12:50.367
Sweet 16!
01:12:50.451 --> 01:12:52.077
Get together
with your sister.
01:12:52.161 --> 01:12:53.328
Chris, get in there.
01:12:53.704 --> 01:12:55.622
Ah. Thank you.
01:12:55.706 --> 01:12:57.374
Are you sure
we shouldn't go knock?
01:12:58.208 --> 01:12:59.501
I'm sure.
01:12:59.585 --> 01:13:00.794
He can't take five minutes?
01:13:00.919 --> 01:13:02.087
Nope.
01:13:03.047 --> 01:13:04.256
Two minutes?
01:13:04.381 --> 01:13:05.549
Niki.
01:13:05.632 --> 01:13:07.509
One minute.
01:13:12.431 --> 01:13:13.849
Chris, would you please
get the good plates?
01:13:13.932 --> 01:13:15.601
Yes, Mom.
Thank you.
01:13:19.855 --> 01:13:21.106
Dad!
01:13:22.983 --> 01:13:24.902
- Dad!
- Go away!
01:13:26.403 --> 01:13:27.946
We're having birthday cake.
01:13:28.030 --> 01:13:31.784
When you hear me working,
you don't knock!
01:13:31.867 --> 01:13:33.744
But it's my birthday.
01:13:33.827 --> 01:13:36.121
You don't knock! Ever!
01:13:36.205 --> 01:13:38.832
So the house is on fire,
you don't want to know?
01:13:38.916 --> 01:13:42.669
I work in a bathtub,
surrounded by water.
01:13:42.753 --> 01:13:43.921
So I'm fairly certain
01:13:44.004 --> 01:13:46.632
that even if the whole
goddamn country was on fire,
01:13:46.715 --> 01:13:48.383
that I could still function
01:13:48.467 --> 01:13:50.135
as this family's
personal slave.
01:13:50.219 --> 01:13:52.971
And all I ask is
to not be interrupted
01:13:53.055 --> 01:13:56.308
for every little slice
of fucking birthday cake!
01:13:57.559 --> 01:13:59.895
What? It's ridiculous!
01:14:01.021 --> 01:14:04.399
Now I've lost my place.
Christ's sake!
01:14:09.071 --> 01:14:10.531
Sure, maybe you, uh,
01:14:10.614 --> 01:14:13.408
get that long,
happy life we all want.
01:14:13.492 --> 01:14:16.203
But your eyes
never really close again.
01:14:16.286 --> 01:14:18.080
'Cause you spend that life
01:14:18.163 --> 01:14:20.916
scared of every
noise in the dark.
01:14:20.999 --> 01:14:25.337
We both do. I can't
let you do this, Rocco.
01:14:25.420 --> 01:14:27.965
I'll just have to
convince you I'm right.
01:14:40.644 --> 01:14:45.023
After all, kid,
what are friends for?
01:15:01.456 --> 01:15:03.041
Don't defend him, okay?
01:15:03.125 --> 01:15:05.169
He knows he's wrong.
01:15:05.252 --> 01:15:07.462
He hasn't even apologized.
01:15:07.546 --> 01:15:08.797
I think you surprised him.
01:15:09.381 --> 01:15:11.842
He's not used to seeing
another adult in the house.
01:15:11.925 --> 01:15:14.469
He has to be right
all the time.
01:15:14.553 --> 01:15:16.597
How do you stand it?
01:15:16.680 --> 01:15:19.016
Well, it's challenging sometimes,
especially lately.
01:15:21.018 --> 01:15:23.437
Hey, why don't you come
downstairs with me?
01:15:24.021 --> 01:15:25.397
I wanna show you something.
01:15:31.820 --> 01:15:32.905
You see my gloves?
01:15:35.949 --> 01:15:37.284
Thank you.
01:15:47.628 --> 01:15:49.713
Do you imagine
that's his head?
01:15:53.258 --> 01:15:56.011
No. But you can.
01:16:11.235 --> 01:16:14.363
Niki, is that
the script already?
01:16:14.446 --> 01:16:15.447
Fantastic.
01:16:15.948 --> 01:16:18.075
Ah. Tell your dad that...
01:16:41.181 --> 01:16:45.060
Oh, hello. Um, I'm
looking for Arlen Hird.
01:16:45.143 --> 01:16:46.937
Mr. Trumbo, it's Andrew.
01:16:47.938 --> 01:16:51.233
Good God! Look...
Look at you!
01:16:52.317 --> 01:16:55.821
Wow. Well, I'm certain
your father
01:16:55.904 --> 01:16:58.532
has told you some
nasty things about me,
01:16:58.615 --> 01:17:00.033
but I want to assure you,
01:17:00.117 --> 01:17:02.828
they're all true.
01:17:02.911 --> 01:17:05.163
Is, uh... Is he home?
01:17:07.040 --> 01:17:09.334
I'm sorry.
I thought you knew.
01:17:26.560 --> 01:17:28.103
I'm so sorry.
Thank you so much.
01:17:32.107 --> 01:17:33.442
Andrew.
01:17:35.485 --> 01:17:37.362
Joshua.
01:17:37.446 --> 01:17:40.449
My dad
left something for you.
01:17:40.532 --> 01:17:41.658
It's a record.
01:17:42.492 --> 01:17:45.245
Money that he owed you
and some other people.
01:17:47.914 --> 01:17:50.292
I'm sorry. I wish
we could pay you back.
01:17:53.128 --> 01:17:54.421
Andrew, no.
01:17:56.048 --> 01:17:57.591
I owed him.
01:18:01.345 --> 01:18:03.305
The debts are all mine.
01:18:05.932 --> 01:18:07.267
Thank you.
01:18:29.331 --> 01:18:30.957
Well...
01:18:31.083 --> 01:18:32.626
Hello, Eddie.
01:18:35.796 --> 01:18:37.923
This is
a bit of a surprise.
01:18:42.969 --> 01:18:44.388
What can I do for you?
01:18:45.055 --> 01:18:46.556
Arlen died.
01:18:46.640 --> 01:18:48.850
I heard. I was on location.
01:18:53.980 --> 01:18:57.359
This is the money you gave us
for the defense fund.
01:18:57.442 --> 01:18:59.694
It's everything that we
owe you. Arlen included.
01:18:59.778 --> 01:19:02.030
No, now, that was a gift.
01:19:02.239 --> 01:19:04.324
We'd like it
off our books.
01:19:06.034 --> 01:19:09.287
What is this supposed to be?
Some kind of message?
01:19:10.622 --> 01:19:11.623
What you and Arlen
01:19:11.706 --> 01:19:13.959
and the great Hollywood Ten
all think of me.
01:19:19.548 --> 01:19:22.509
Fine. Fine. But first
you're gonna listen.
01:19:26.555 --> 01:19:28.682
After you went to jail,
01:19:31.017 --> 01:19:33.353
I didn't work for a year.
01:19:35.605 --> 01:19:38.024
No offers,
not even an audition.
01:19:38.900 --> 01:19:43.196
People would see me,
cross the street.
01:19:43.280 --> 01:19:44.364
People I loved.
01:19:46.575 --> 01:19:48.493
People I made rich.
01:19:50.287 --> 01:19:51.663
I sat in front of
that committee.
01:19:51.746 --> 01:19:54.332
Why? I didn't do anything.
01:19:54.416 --> 01:19:57.878
None of us did anything.
We were all stupid babies.
01:19:58.628 --> 01:20:01.590
With no business
in any of it.
01:20:02.799 --> 01:20:04.634
I just wanted my life back.
01:20:06.303 --> 01:20:10.056
They had every name.
Yours, Arlen's, everybody's.
01:20:10.140 --> 01:20:14.394
I didn't give them anything
they didn't already have.
01:20:14.478 --> 01:20:19.357
I ended it, is all.
I just... I ended it!
01:20:19.441 --> 01:20:25.197
Oh, Eddie, you don't
end something like this.
01:20:25.280 --> 01:20:29.242
By giving them what
they have no right to ask.
01:20:29.326 --> 01:20:32.537
You're gonna tell me
how I should have handled it?
01:20:33.580 --> 01:20:35.624
Like you handled Congress?
01:20:37.083 --> 01:20:40.045
So you're saying that
you're proud of what you did?
01:20:40.128 --> 01:20:43.924
Proud? Who the hell
gets to be proud?
01:20:44.007 --> 01:20:45.425
You. You do.
01:20:45.509 --> 01:20:47.552
You with your fake names
and your fronts.
01:20:47.636 --> 01:20:49.012
You've got
all the work you want.
01:20:49.095 --> 01:20:52.098
I gotta go out
in the world every day.
01:20:52.182 --> 01:20:53.767
This is my work.
01:20:56.061 --> 01:20:58.772
I've got nobody else to be.
01:20:58.855 --> 01:21:00.941
I did what I had to.
01:21:01.024 --> 01:21:03.109
You did what
you wanted, Eddie.
01:21:04.528 --> 01:21:06.530
And you did it for more.
01:21:07.948 --> 01:21:10.867
More movies, more money,
01:21:11.660 --> 01:21:14.663
more dead bullshit
on your walls.
01:21:22.462 --> 01:21:24.631
What I did, I did,
01:21:25.757 --> 01:21:27.175
but did you ever wonder
how many years
01:21:27.259 --> 01:21:29.427
you hacked off Arlen's life?
01:21:31.054 --> 01:21:34.641
To show the world
what a rebel genius you are.
01:21:39.312 --> 01:21:41.231
You live with that!
01:21:53.910 --> 01:21:55.662
Drinking alone?
01:21:57.163 --> 01:21:58.331
Preferably.
01:21:59.541 --> 01:22:02.085
And what are you
up to these days?
01:22:04.296 --> 01:22:06.339
You know, Hedda,
01:22:06.423 --> 01:22:08.183
another one of these
and I just may tell you.
01:22:08.216 --> 01:22:09.801
Oh, then I'm buying.
01:22:10.594 --> 01:22:11.845
Usual. Same again.
01:22:12.012 --> 01:22:13.263
Yes, Miss Hopper.
01:22:14.723 --> 01:22:17.100
Oh, come on,
I hear the rumors.
01:22:19.060 --> 01:22:20.353
Show me you're
still in the game,
01:22:20.437 --> 01:22:22.314
fighting the good fight.
01:22:23.648 --> 01:22:25.525
Come on, rub my face in it.
01:22:25.609 --> 01:22:27.902
Whisper a movie
you've written in secret.
01:22:27.986 --> 01:22:29.487
Maybe I've even heard of it.
01:22:31.781 --> 01:22:33.116
Maybe you have.
01:22:33.199 --> 01:22:36.119
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry...
I'm filming. It's crazy.
01:22:36.202 --> 01:22:38.872
Buddy, do you know
Dalton Trumbo?
01:22:42.000 --> 01:22:45.587
Yes, I believe we have
worked together before.
01:22:45.670 --> 01:22:47.172
What was it? Was it MGM?
01:22:47.255 --> 01:22:49.633
A million years ago.
Nice to see you again, Buddy.
01:22:50.884 --> 01:22:52.677
I hear your new
script's in trouble.
01:22:52.761 --> 01:22:54.304
Maybe you should
hire Dalton.
01:22:54.387 --> 01:22:55.430
He used to be pretty good,
01:22:55.513 --> 01:22:57.682
and price-wise,
he'd be bargain basement.
01:22:57.766 --> 01:23:01.227
Not that you'd ever do it.
Not after Buddy named names.
01:23:03.188 --> 01:23:05.690
Oh, you didn't know?
01:23:05.774 --> 01:23:07.901
Word was he had hired someone
he shouldn't have.
01:23:07.984 --> 01:23:10.987
So he got subpoenaed.
He had to testify.
01:23:11.071 --> 01:23:13.657
Closed session. No press.
Makes it easier.
01:23:13.740 --> 01:23:15.659
So, he named you, of course.
01:23:17.285 --> 01:23:20.038
Now he's been cleared.
Gets to make his movie.
01:23:20.121 --> 01:23:22.707
In a way, thanks to you.
01:23:27.962 --> 01:23:31.341
Drink, Buddy?
You look as if you need one.
01:23:32.092 --> 01:23:33.968
Can you believe it?
01:23:34.052 --> 01:23:36.680
Democrats voting
for segregation.
01:23:36.763 --> 01:23:38.848
Oh, the Southern
Dixie-crats.
01:23:38.932 --> 01:23:41.309
We started a petition
for total integration.
01:23:41.393 --> 01:23:42.477
There it is.
01:23:42.560 --> 01:23:44.020
I already have
over 1,000 signatures.
01:23:44.104 --> 01:23:47.857
Well, I'd be happy
to make it 1,001.
01:23:47.941 --> 01:23:49.776
And this is the new draft
01:23:49.859 --> 01:23:53.238
that needs to be delivered
to Hymie King in Agoura.
01:23:54.531 --> 01:23:56.950
Wait, Agoura? I thought
the Kings were in Hollywood.
01:23:57.033 --> 01:23:58.702
Oh, no, no, no.
These are the rewrites.
01:23:58.785 --> 01:23:59.911
They're to be shot tonight,
01:23:59.994 --> 01:24:01.830
so Hymie needs them
on the set right away.
01:24:01.913 --> 01:24:03.456
Agoura's 40 miles.
01:24:03.540 --> 01:24:05.625
Yes, I'm sure
Chris knows that by now.
01:24:05.709 --> 01:24:06.710
Well, he can't.
01:24:08.378 --> 01:24:09.421
I'm sorry?
01:24:09.504 --> 01:24:12.132
He has a date.
He's taking her to a movie.
01:24:12.215 --> 01:24:17.178
Well, all right, then, Nikola,
you'll deliver the draft.
01:24:17.262 --> 01:24:18.263
I have a protest.
01:24:18.346 --> 01:24:20.765
Since when do protests
have hard start times?
01:24:21.433 --> 01:24:22.434
I'll take it.
01:24:22.559 --> 01:24:23.560
Nikola will take it.
01:24:23.643 --> 01:24:25.437
I said I can't.
01:24:25.562 --> 01:24:27.313
Young lady, you will.
01:24:27.397 --> 01:24:28.481
This is important.
01:24:28.606 --> 01:24:29.649
So is this.
01:24:29.733 --> 01:24:31.317
This is
important to me.
01:24:31.401 --> 01:24:32.736
And the date's
important to Chris,
01:24:32.819 --> 01:24:34.863
so figure something else out.
01:24:44.330 --> 01:24:46.541
Move on!
He needs those now!
01:24:59.637 --> 01:25:01.347
Oh, honey...
01:25:03.016 --> 01:25:04.684
She hasn't been
gone that long,
01:25:04.809 --> 01:25:06.853
and it's really
not that late.
01:25:10.190 --> 01:25:11.691
You know, this is
a blatant attempt
01:25:11.775 --> 01:25:13.693
to manipulate worry.
01:25:20.450 --> 01:25:23.119
Do you know when I realized
that I had to leave Hal?
01:25:23.203 --> 01:25:25.371
Hal? Hal who?
01:25:25.455 --> 01:25:27.123
My first husband Hal.
01:25:27.207 --> 01:25:29.334
Jesus, take the wheel!
01:25:31.377 --> 01:25:32.879
It was my wedding night.
01:25:34.005 --> 01:25:36.216
My first
wedding night with Hal.
01:25:36.299 --> 01:25:38.051
If we're going to
go back in time
01:25:38.176 --> 01:25:39.469
to that unholy coupling,
01:25:39.552 --> 01:25:42.639
then I have
a medical obligation to drink.
01:25:43.056 --> 01:25:45.683
I saw this was not a man
I could have children with.
01:25:46.017 --> 01:25:47.644
Now,
thank God for that.
01:25:47.727 --> 01:25:51.397
He'd bully me and them.
01:25:51.523 --> 01:25:52.482
And that we'd wind up like
01:25:52.565 --> 01:25:54.734
every miserable family
since forever.
01:25:55.693 --> 01:25:56.903
But you...
01:25:58.029 --> 01:26:01.074
I knew you would
never be like that.
01:26:01.199 --> 01:26:04.077
That whatever
happened out there,
01:26:04.160 --> 01:26:05.328
all that would matter,
01:26:05.411 --> 01:26:08.331
really matter, was us.
01:26:08.414 --> 01:26:10.208
Well, all that
matters is us.
01:26:10.333 --> 01:26:12.085
No.
01:26:13.503 --> 01:26:14.504
Not anymore.
01:26:14.629 --> 01:26:15.672
Well...
01:26:17.090 --> 01:26:19.259
You have no idea
what you could lose.
01:26:19.342 --> 01:26:20.593
Oh, please!
01:26:20.677 --> 01:26:22.762
My career
01:26:22.887 --> 01:26:24.931
and the First Amendment,
our country.
01:26:25.014 --> 01:26:26.140
Am I missing anything?
01:26:26.266 --> 01:26:27.433
Us.
01:26:27.517 --> 01:26:30.019
You're losing us.
Oh.
01:26:30.103 --> 01:26:34.691
Since prison,
you don't talk or ask.
01:26:34.774 --> 01:26:36.776
You just snap and bark.
01:26:36.901 --> 01:26:38.027
I keep waiting
for you to start
01:26:38.111 --> 01:26:39.863
pounding the dinner table
with a gavel.
01:26:39.946 --> 01:26:44.033
So in addition to being
a pariah out in the world,
01:26:44.117 --> 01:26:47.662
I also have the supreme joy
of battling insurrection
01:26:47.787 --> 01:26:49.706
in my own home where these...
Battling insurrection?
01:26:49.789 --> 01:26:51.207
Ten fingers literally
01:26:51.291 --> 01:26:53.459
clothe and feed
and shelter us.
01:26:53.585 --> 01:26:55.795
This isn't
just happening to you!
01:26:55.920 --> 01:26:57.714
We all hurt!
01:26:57.797 --> 01:27:00.967
Niki, me, your friends!
01:27:01.092 --> 01:27:03.219
Friends? What friends?
01:27:03.303 --> 01:27:06.222
Who the hell has
the luxury of friends?
01:27:06.306 --> 01:27:08.474
I've got allies and enemies.
01:27:08.558 --> 01:27:10.226
There's no room
for anything else.
01:27:10.310 --> 01:27:11.394
We know.
01:27:12.812 --> 01:27:13.813
Good.
01:27:13.938 --> 01:27:16.649
Then this discussion ends.
01:27:17.942 --> 01:27:21.237
This isn't a discussion.
It's a fight.
01:27:22.989 --> 01:27:26.326
I will not let our children
be raised by a bully.
01:27:43.468 --> 01:27:44.469
Be back.
01:27:44.594 --> 01:27:45.595
All right.
01:27:56.648 --> 01:27:58.448
I didn't want to fight
in front of my friends,
01:27:59.317 --> 01:28:00.985
but I'm not going home.
01:28:02.195 --> 01:28:03.947
I didn't come here to fight.
01:28:09.202 --> 01:28:13.456
You know, your mother
is a quiet person.
01:28:13.539 --> 01:28:14.540
Normally.
01:28:15.375 --> 01:28:16.542
The effect of which is that
01:28:16.668 --> 01:28:19.712
she can actually
make me hear myself.
01:28:19.796 --> 01:28:21.381
It's extraordinary.
01:28:22.382 --> 01:28:26.678
Lately, it's not a sound
I like much.
01:28:27.720 --> 01:28:31.891
Mostly because
what I hear is just how...
01:28:32.976 --> 01:28:36.229
How afraid I am.
01:28:38.898 --> 01:28:43.069
Afraid that
I'm scarring you...
01:28:43.194 --> 01:28:44.737
All of you.
01:28:48.741 --> 01:28:53.246
And what if it's all
for nothing? What then?
01:28:56.416 --> 01:29:01.421
Well, so, I fight.
01:29:03.339 --> 01:29:05.925
It's all I know
how to do anymore.
01:29:06.050 --> 01:29:07.760
Any... I mean, it's just...
01:29:07.844 --> 01:29:11.889
Just rage at anyone
who gets in my way.
01:29:14.267 --> 01:29:19.689
But you have never
been in my way, Nikola.
01:29:19.772 --> 01:29:21.733
Not once.
01:29:22.775 --> 01:29:25.403
It's crazy how mad
you make me.
01:29:27.280 --> 01:29:30.533
Since all I ever wanted
was to be just like you.
01:29:34.537 --> 01:29:38.791
Well, I'm afraid to say
that you've succeeded.
01:29:43.129 --> 01:29:44.881
We know, okay?
01:29:44.964 --> 01:29:47.800
It's a small town.
The gossip's always true.
01:29:47.925 --> 01:29:50.720
Fire Dalton Trumbo
and the rest of them
01:29:50.803 --> 01:29:53.222
or you got pickets,
headlines and boycotts.
01:29:53.306 --> 01:29:55.266
We will put you
right out of business.
01:29:55.808 --> 01:29:56.893
We?
01:29:56.976 --> 01:29:58.144
The Motion Picture Alliance
01:29:58.269 --> 01:30:01.314
for the Preservation
of American Ideals.
01:30:01.397 --> 01:30:03.733
Me and Ronald Reagan,
Hedda Hopper,
01:30:03.816 --> 01:30:06.319
guilds, studio heads,
John Wayne.
01:30:06.444 --> 01:30:07.570
I love John Wayne.
01:30:07.695 --> 01:30:08.821
Well, I'll introduce you.
01:30:08.946 --> 01:30:10.490
You guys could do
a movie together.
01:30:10.615 --> 01:30:12.742
Oh, gee,
that would be swell.
01:30:12.825 --> 01:30:15.203
Except I don't think
01:30:15.328 --> 01:30:16.928
you and me are gonna be pals.
Hey, Frank!
01:30:16.954 --> 01:30:17.954
You wanna keep me
01:30:17.997 --> 01:30:19.082
from hiring union?
Frank! Frank!
01:30:19.165 --> 01:30:21.834
I'll go downtown, hire a bunch of winos
and hookers!
01:30:22.502 --> 01:30:23.586
It doesn't matter!
01:30:23.669 --> 01:30:25.463
I make garbage!
Frank!
01:30:26.506 --> 01:30:29.133
You want to call me a pinko in the papers?
Do it!
01:30:29.258 --> 01:30:32.136
None of the people that go to
my fucking movies can read! No, wait.
01:30:34.597 --> 01:30:36.157
I am in this for the
money and the pussy
01:30:36.182 --> 01:30:38.101
and they're both
falling off the trees.
01:30:38.476 --> 01:30:40.019
Take it away from me.
01:30:40.103 --> 01:30:41.270
Go ahead. I won't sue you,
01:30:41.354 --> 01:30:43.689
but this will be
the last fucking thing you see
01:30:43.815 --> 01:30:45.274
before I beat you
to death with it.
01:30:45.358 --> 01:30:46.359
Tiffany!
01:30:46.442 --> 01:30:47.693
Right here.
01:30:59.372 --> 01:31:00.623
Fuck you want?
01:31:01.499 --> 01:31:03.626
Uh... Oh, uh...
01:31:03.709 --> 01:31:05.461
- New script.
- Oh, yeah?
01:31:05.545 --> 01:31:09.882
Yes, it's a family picture.
01:31:10.550 --> 01:31:12.218
Something I've been mulling.
01:31:12.343 --> 01:31:14.971
It's the story
of a young Mexican boy
01:31:15.054 --> 01:31:16.139
and his pet bull.
01:31:16.556 --> 01:31:18.558
Sounds a little fruity.
What's it called?
01:31:19.350 --> 01:31:22.979
The Brave One.
Oh, one problem though.
01:31:23.062 --> 01:31:24.230
Expensive?
01:31:24.397 --> 01:31:25.565
Worse.
01:31:26.566 --> 01:31:28.151
It's good.
01:31:38.244 --> 01:31:41.080
Olé! Olé!
01:31:45.168 --> 01:31:49.088
Who told you?
What else did they say?
01:31:52.592 --> 01:31:53.759
Well...
01:31:54.427 --> 01:31:57.555
You too.
And thank you, Frank.
01:32:00.099 --> 01:32:01.350
What?
01:32:03.603 --> 01:32:05.271
The Brave One
has been nominated
01:32:05.396 --> 01:32:07.064
for an Academy Award.
01:32:07.273 --> 01:32:08.733
Oh.
01:32:11.277 --> 01:32:14.197
Really?
Yes, really!
01:32:16.782 --> 01:32:18.534
That's crazy.
01:32:19.076 --> 01:32:20.870
I don't know.
It's like Roman Holiday.
01:32:20.953 --> 01:32:23.372
Oh, Hymie, this is nothing
like Roman Holiday.
01:32:23.956 --> 01:32:26.959
Roman Holiday had a guy
with a name and a body
01:32:27.084 --> 01:32:29.045
they could give the award to.
01:32:29.128 --> 01:32:33.591
There is no Robert Rich.
Who gets the thing if it wins?
01:32:34.383 --> 01:32:36.052
Well, maybe it won't.
01:32:36.135 --> 01:32:38.721
I mean, it's not that good.
No offense.
01:32:38.804 --> 01:32:40.223
None taken.
01:32:40.306 --> 01:32:41.390
And now I'd like to say
01:32:41.474 --> 01:32:42.558
two of the most
beautiful words
01:32:42.642 --> 01:32:44.143
in the motion-picture
industry,
01:32:44.268 --> 01:32:45.811
Deborah Kerr.
01:32:51.984 --> 01:32:55.321
The nominations for Best
Motion Picture Story are,
01:32:55.404 --> 01:32:57.323
Robert Rich for The Brave One,
01:32:57.448 --> 01:32:59.992
Leo Katcher for
The Eddy Duchin Story,
01:33:00.076 --> 01:33:02.745
Jean-Paul Sartre for
The Proud and the Beautiful,
01:33:02.828 --> 01:33:05.915
and Cesare Zavattini for
Umberto D.
01:33:05.998 --> 01:33:07.792
The envelope please.
01:33:10.670 --> 01:33:12.255
The Brave One, Robert Rich!
01:33:12.338 --> 01:33:13.339
Dad!
01:33:19.804 --> 01:33:21.013
- You won!
- Who's that guy?
01:33:21.097 --> 01:33:22.515
Mr. Jesse Lasky Jr.,
01:33:22.640 --> 01:33:24.320
Vice President of the
screenwriter's branch
01:33:24.350 --> 01:33:25.351
of the Writers Guild,
01:33:25.434 --> 01:33:26.794
will accept the award
for Mr. Rich.
01:33:27.186 --> 01:33:28.604
On behalf
of Robert Rich
01:33:28.688 --> 01:33:30.439
and his beautiful story,
01:33:30.523 --> 01:33:31.857
thank you very much.
01:33:31.941 --> 01:33:33.317
So weird.
01:33:36.696 --> 01:33:38.990
We can't find Mr. Rich anywhere.
He apparently...
01:33:39.115 --> 01:33:41.200
Who the hell is Robert Rich?
01:33:41.701 --> 01:33:43.035
I gotta go.
01:33:43.119 --> 01:33:45.538
It had better not be
who they say.
01:33:45.621 --> 01:33:47.039
- Mr. Trumbo.
- Yes?
01:33:47.164 --> 01:33:50.626
Are you Robert Rich?
Did you write The Brave One?
01:33:52.378 --> 01:33:55.047
Well, you see, it's my policy
01:33:55.131 --> 01:33:58.217
not to claim credit
for any one movie.
01:33:58.342 --> 01:33:59.385
That way, it's possible
01:33:59.468 --> 01:34:01.887
that I had something
to do with all of them.
01:34:01.971 --> 01:34:03.973
Except the stinkers,
which were all written
01:34:04.056 --> 01:34:05.641
by my enemies.
01:34:05.725 --> 01:34:07.893
What's your position
on the blacklist?
01:34:08.394 --> 01:34:11.314
Well, on it.
01:34:11.397 --> 01:34:13.566
Along with
thousands of others.
01:34:13.649 --> 01:34:16.485
Are you using this
Robert Rich controversy
01:34:16.569 --> 01:34:17.653
to try and end it?
01:34:19.405 --> 01:34:23.492
See, The Brave One
is a nice little picture.
01:34:23.576 --> 01:34:26.329
And if rumors
of my involvement
01:34:26.412 --> 01:34:28.581
can help sell tickets,
well, then, good.
01:34:28.664 --> 01:34:31.167
And if the
strange circumstances
01:34:31.250 --> 01:34:34.920
of its authorship
raised a few questions,
01:34:35.046 --> 01:34:36.422
well, even better.
01:34:36.547 --> 01:34:37.715
Trumbo?
Yes?
01:34:38.215 --> 01:34:40.217
- Phone for you.
- Well, who is it?
01:34:45.765 --> 01:34:48.100
Some crazy guy,
says he's Kirk Douglas.
01:34:48.225 --> 01:34:51.937
Really? Huh.
Well, thank you, Nikola.
01:35:04.075 --> 01:35:06.869
Niki? Kirk.
01:35:10.915 --> 01:35:12.291
Kirk.
01:35:12.458 --> 01:35:13.793
Dalton.
01:35:13.918 --> 01:35:14.960
My apologies.
01:35:15.044 --> 01:35:17.713
We've had more than our
share of crank calls lately.
01:35:17.797 --> 01:35:19.557
I can imagine.
Please have a seat.
01:35:19.590 --> 01:35:20.633
May I get you a drink?
01:35:20.758 --> 01:35:21.801
No. No thank you.
01:35:21.884 --> 01:35:23.052
All right.
01:35:26.472 --> 01:35:28.140
So?
I'm doing a new picture.
01:35:28.933 --> 01:35:30.184
And I just got the script.
01:35:31.727 --> 01:35:34.146
That must be seven hours
of entertainment there.
01:35:34.230 --> 01:35:35.564
Not a single page
is entertaining.
01:35:36.816 --> 01:35:40.069
But there's a good story
in there somewhere.
01:35:40.152 --> 01:35:44.490
About one man who tried
to take on the whole world.
01:35:45.324 --> 01:35:49.829
Well, you've got me so far.
01:35:49.954 --> 01:35:51.330
He was a slave
01:35:51.414 --> 01:35:53.749
who led a revolt
against the Roman Empire.
01:35:53.833 --> 01:35:54.834
Hmm.
01:35:56.168 --> 01:35:57.503
Now, what's the title?
01:35:58.087 --> 01:35:59.922
Spartacus.
01:36:00.005 --> 01:36:01.006
No, no, no.
01:36:01.132 --> 01:36:02.925
I can't tell you what
I'm working on now,
01:36:03.008 --> 01:36:04.009
except to say that
01:36:04.093 --> 01:36:06.762
the blacklist is
alive and well
01:36:06.846 --> 01:36:08.514
and so is the black market.
01:36:09.765 --> 01:36:12.184
Well, yes, you can
quote me on that.
01:36:12.476 --> 01:36:14.520
Seeing
my name in the papers
01:36:14.645 --> 01:36:17.022
drives certain people
out of their minds.
01:36:17.106 --> 01:36:18.691
Of course. Here he is.
01:36:18.816 --> 01:36:20.276
Kirk.
Hedda.
01:36:21.193 --> 01:36:23.612
I'd like you to meet
a friend of mine, Bob Stripling.
01:36:23.696 --> 01:36:26.449
House Un-American
Activities Committee.
01:36:26.532 --> 01:36:27.992
Mr. Douglas.
01:36:29.034 --> 01:36:30.536
Mr. Stripling.
01:36:37.376 --> 01:36:38.544
Drink?
01:36:38.669 --> 01:36:39.837
No, thank you.
01:36:41.005 --> 01:36:42.465
You said it was important.
01:36:43.507 --> 01:36:46.177
Only if you hired
Dalton Trumbo.
01:36:48.220 --> 01:36:49.555
Who I hire is my business.
01:36:49.722 --> 01:36:51.056
No, Mr. Douglas.
01:36:52.224 --> 01:36:53.476
It's ours.
01:36:54.059 --> 01:36:55.060
Why?
01:36:55.186 --> 01:36:57.313
'Cause we have to keep
this country safe.
01:36:57.396 --> 01:36:59.064
And how are you
doing that?
01:36:59.148 --> 01:37:02.401
Well, why don't I show you
by putting you on the stand?
01:37:03.152 --> 01:37:06.655
Hedda, is your friend
trying to scare me?
01:37:06.739 --> 01:37:09.742
He's just trying to show you
the way things are.
01:37:09.992 --> 01:37:12.495
Maybe I don't like
the way things are.
01:37:13.329 --> 01:37:15.831
Kirk, we've known
each other a long time.
01:37:15.915 --> 01:37:18.417
Since when did you become
such a bastard?
01:37:19.585 --> 01:37:23.923
I was always a bastard.
You just never noticed.
01:37:45.778 --> 01:37:46.779
Yes?
01:37:46.862 --> 01:37:50.115
I wish to see the man
who wrote this.
01:37:50.199 --> 01:37:51.784
Please, come in.
01:37:53.911 --> 01:37:55.079
Thank you.
01:37:58.958 --> 01:38:00.960
I am Otto Preminger.
01:38:03.295 --> 01:38:04.547
The director.
01:38:05.923 --> 01:38:06.966
Forgive me, I...
01:38:07.091 --> 01:38:10.719
I've just finished work
a few hours ago. I...
01:38:10.803 --> 01:38:12.638
A copy of which I've read.
01:38:12.721 --> 01:38:14.223
But how could...
01:38:14.306 --> 01:38:16.600
I just had that delivered
this morning.
01:38:17.268 --> 01:38:20.396
I am Otto Preminger,
the director.
01:38:21.939 --> 01:38:23.315
Please.
01:38:31.407 --> 01:38:33.576
Oh, yes, my youngest thinks
01:38:33.659 --> 01:38:37.746
that I can end the suffering
of all broken birds.
01:38:37.830 --> 01:38:40.457
As can I, with a broiler.
01:38:43.752 --> 01:38:47.172
Are your duties completed
for Mr. Kirk Douglas?
01:38:48.173 --> 01:38:52.595
No, but I do have
two weeks off for Christmas.
01:38:52.678 --> 01:38:56.181
During which time
you will work with me.
01:38:56.307 --> 01:38:57.349
Will I?
01:38:58.183 --> 01:39:01.103
If you're as intelligent
as your writing.
01:39:01.186 --> 01:39:03.814
And as greedy
as your reputation.
01:39:04.940 --> 01:39:05.941
Hmm.
01:39:06.025 --> 01:39:08.277
It is an adaptation
of the novel Exodus.
01:39:08.360 --> 01:39:09.445
You've read it?
01:39:09.528 --> 01:39:10.863
No.
01:39:11.030 --> 01:39:12.364
A colossal bestseller.
01:39:13.282 --> 01:39:15.659
Very nearly
a perfect piece of shit.
01:39:16.118 --> 01:39:20.122
But there's a good story
in there somewhere.
01:39:22.041 --> 01:39:24.877
I have no idea.
01:39:25.002 --> 01:39:27.212
But I have Paul Newman.
01:39:27.338 --> 01:39:31.133
We have spoken.
He is a little reticent,
01:39:31.216 --> 01:39:33.052
but I believe,
at the right price,
01:39:33.177 --> 01:39:34.219
he will accept.
01:39:34.303 --> 01:39:35.971
So you're doing it?
01:39:36.847 --> 01:39:40.392
Well, I think it's the only
way to get him to leave.
01:39:40.517 --> 01:39:41.717
It's very important.
01:39:43.228 --> 01:39:44.897
Poor Mr. Preminger.
01:39:44.980 --> 01:39:47.483
He thinks he's the cat
and you're the mouse.
01:40:02.915 --> 01:40:04.667
Oh, look at that. Perfect.
01:40:04.750 --> 01:40:06.335
Hey, Mitzi, what's that?
A Russian doll?
01:40:07.544 --> 01:40:08.624
Absolutely perfect.
01:40:08.671 --> 01:40:10.756
Oh! What is this, Santa?
01:40:10.839 --> 01:40:13.759
Just a little something
for Mrs. Claus.
01:40:13.884 --> 01:40:15.094
I'll open it later.
01:40:15.177 --> 01:40:16.261
Christmas is over.
01:40:19.014 --> 01:40:20.182
Well...
01:40:21.725 --> 01:40:23.268
Did you read the new scenes?
01:40:23.352 --> 01:40:26.522
Dreadful. Keep up
this level of work,
01:40:26.605 --> 01:40:29.608
and I will see to it
your name is on my movie.
01:40:30.442 --> 01:40:31.944
To take the blame.
01:40:40.077 --> 01:40:42.705
Well, there you go.
01:40:47.710 --> 01:40:51.130
Ooh! Hello. Hi, Sammy.
01:40:51.296 --> 01:40:52.881
Oh, do you know that.
01:40:52.965 --> 01:40:55.050
Kirk Douglas
gave me this bird?
01:40:55.134 --> 01:40:57.136
It's a distraction.
01:40:57.261 --> 01:40:59.221
No. No, not at all.
01:40:59.304 --> 01:41:02.558
I named him Sam Jackson.
01:41:02.641 --> 01:41:03.976
He wrote Spartacus.
01:41:07.062 --> 01:41:08.313
Well?
01:41:10.149 --> 01:41:11.817
Better.
Thank God.
01:41:11.900 --> 01:41:15.404
But it simply lacks genius.
01:41:16.488 --> 01:41:20.576
Otto, if every scene
is brilliant,
01:41:20.659 --> 01:41:23.829
your movie is going to be
utterly monotonous.
01:41:24.329 --> 01:41:26.498
I'll tell you what.
01:41:26.623 --> 01:41:30.669
You write every
scene brilliantly,
01:41:30.753 --> 01:41:33.505
and I will direct unevenly.
01:41:36.508 --> 01:41:37.509
What is it, dear?
01:41:40.345 --> 01:41:41.764
Thank you.
01:41:41.847 --> 01:41:43.348
Oh, hello, Kirk.
01:41:44.183 --> 01:41:46.268
Merry Christmas.
Thank you, Mitzi.
01:41:46.351 --> 01:41:48.604
Otto. How are you?
01:41:49.146 --> 01:41:51.148
I am very well, Kirk.
01:41:52.149 --> 01:41:53.984
I, uh, didn't mean
to interrupt.
01:41:55.360 --> 01:41:58.447
No, no. No, not
at all. Not at all.
01:41:58.530 --> 01:42:00.866
Otto, would you mind
if we had a little chat?
01:42:00.991 --> 01:42:01.992
Won't be a second.
01:42:07.539 --> 01:42:09.374
I sort of feel like
I walked in on my wife.
01:42:10.709 --> 01:42:11.794
Do you love him?
01:42:11.877 --> 01:42:13.879
Oh, it's far more
lurid than that.
01:42:14.046 --> 01:42:16.173
He's paying me
for my services.
01:42:17.007 --> 01:42:18.050
So am I.
01:42:18.133 --> 01:42:21.553
And you'll get them again,
January 2nd, as promised.
01:42:21.637 --> 01:42:24.389
I just need you a few days
on some of the new scenes.
01:42:24.473 --> 01:42:27.309
Of course,
but not until the 2nd.
01:42:28.227 --> 01:42:31.146
I wouldn't ask, but I've
never had a director
01:42:31.230 --> 01:42:35.150
who's a bigger pain in my ass
than Stanley Kubrick.
01:42:35.234 --> 01:42:37.736
The worst part is,
he's right.
01:42:39.738 --> 01:42:42.658
Well, I wouldn't refuse,
but...
01:42:45.410 --> 01:42:49.581
Well, I really...
This should remain between us.
01:42:49.706 --> 01:42:51.166
Of course.
01:42:51.291 --> 01:42:52.751
Well...
01:42:53.585 --> 01:42:55.546
Preminger has
declared that...
01:42:56.588 --> 01:42:58.590
Well, what he said was,
01:42:58.715 --> 01:43:01.176
"You keep up
this level of work,"
01:43:01.260 --> 01:43:05.180
"and I'll see to it that
your name is on my movie."
01:43:05.764 --> 01:43:07.683
Really?
Oh, yes.
01:43:07.766 --> 01:43:10.519
Those were his exact words.
01:43:15.774 --> 01:43:17.234
Be in touch.
01:43:17.359 --> 01:43:18.777
Very well.
01:43:18.861 --> 01:43:20.070
Merry Christmas!
01:43:20.195 --> 01:43:21.405
You too.
01:43:25.284 --> 01:43:27.953
I suppose
he wants you back.
01:43:28.036 --> 01:43:30.622
Well, no. No, no. He...
01:43:30.706 --> 01:43:35.502
He just stopped by
to talk about a screen credit.
01:43:38.171 --> 01:43:39.965
On Spartacus?
01:43:42.342 --> 01:43:46.221
Well, I really shouldn't
have said anything.
01:43:46.305 --> 01:43:47.639
You understand.
01:43:49.349 --> 01:43:52.519
Five minutes! Back in
five minutes, everybody!
01:43:54.438 --> 01:43:55.647
Kirk,
01:43:56.607 --> 01:43:57.691
Hedda Hopper just told me
01:43:57.774 --> 01:43:59.414
the American Legion
is going to boycott us
01:43:59.484 --> 01:44:00.527
unless you get rid
of Trumbo.
01:44:00.611 --> 01:44:02.905
Ed, he's not done
with the script.
01:44:02.988 --> 01:44:04.388
His name will never
be on the thing.
01:44:04.448 --> 01:44:05.908
What's anybody boycotting?
01:44:05.991 --> 01:44:08.493
Kirk... Just a second.
Please. Please.
01:44:08.577 --> 01:44:10.078
Just give me
five seconds, please.
01:44:10.162 --> 01:44:12.497
Listen. Twenty
million Americans
01:44:12.581 --> 01:44:14.082
are saying loud and clear,
01:44:14.166 --> 01:44:16.418
they will never buy
a ticket to our movie
01:44:16.501 --> 01:44:18.462
unless you fire one writer.
01:44:19.087 --> 01:44:22.424
Here's 50! Pick one.
01:44:43.362 --> 01:44:45.072
Mind if I stick my nose in?
01:44:45.155 --> 01:44:46.281
Please.
01:44:47.366 --> 01:44:51.995
He knows. He sees Kirk Douglas coming in
and out of here.
01:44:52.079 --> 01:44:54.498
And Otto Preminger
and his Rolls.
01:44:56.458 --> 01:44:59.670
He's an idiot.
But he's not stupid.
01:45:00.045 --> 01:45:02.172
Has he called the FBI?
01:45:02.255 --> 01:45:04.549
Congress?
01:45:04.633 --> 01:45:07.052
No, because everything
they can do,
01:45:07.135 --> 01:45:09.096
they've already done.
01:45:09.179 --> 01:45:11.515
That Oscar belongs to you.
01:45:13.308 --> 01:45:14.351
Get it!
01:45:15.560 --> 01:45:20.899
My God!
You're nothing like me.
01:45:20.983 --> 01:45:22.317
You're worse.
01:45:29.116 --> 01:45:31.702
For the record,
you're Robert Rich?
01:45:31.785 --> 01:45:32.786
I am.
01:45:32.869 --> 01:45:34.329
I've been through
the whole list, Ed.
01:45:34.413 --> 01:45:35.622
They're all hacks.
01:45:35.706 --> 01:45:37.624
And you
wrote The Brave One?
01:45:37.708 --> 01:45:38.917
I did.
01:45:40.043 --> 01:45:41.044
Ed, let me call you back.
01:45:41.128 --> 01:45:43.672
Why come forward now?
01:45:43.755 --> 01:45:46.466
Well, as someone who has been
thoroughly investigated
01:45:46.550 --> 01:45:48.719
by the House Un-American
Activities Committee,
01:45:48.802 --> 01:45:53.056
I started wondering,
why hasn't anyone taken
01:45:53.140 --> 01:45:56.101
a good long look at them
01:45:56.184 --> 01:45:58.603
and their work
in the movie industry?
01:45:58.687 --> 01:46:03.108
You see, they were convened
to uncover enemy agents,
01:46:04.151 --> 01:46:08.697
expose communist conspiracies
and write anti-sedition laws.
01:46:08.780 --> 01:46:12.909
Well, here we are,
thousands of hours
01:46:12.993 --> 01:46:15.746
and millions of dollars later.
01:46:15.829 --> 01:46:19.291
Agents uncovered, zero.
01:46:19.374 --> 01:46:23.920
Conspiracies exposed, zero.
Laws written, zero.
01:46:24.588 --> 01:46:29.593
You see, all they do is deny
people their right to work.
01:46:30.218 --> 01:46:32.095
And they can't even
get that right.
01:46:32.596 --> 01:46:34.639
Academy Awards, two.
01:46:39.144 --> 01:46:40.437
And how does that feel?
01:46:40.520 --> 01:46:41.938
To have so undermined
the blacklist
01:46:42.022 --> 01:46:43.523
that it's almost a joke.
01:46:43.607 --> 01:46:45.192
A joke?
01:46:49.112 --> 01:46:54.618
I know the blacklist
that produced Robert Rich.
01:46:54.701 --> 01:46:59.539
I've seen its horror
and cruelty.
01:46:59.873 --> 01:47:02.000
A hideous waste of life
01:47:02.084 --> 01:47:06.713
as I've walked in the
long line of its anonymous.
01:47:07.756 --> 01:47:14.304
And I cannot invent one more
witticism about Robert Rich
01:47:14.387 --> 01:47:17.557
or the Oscar he can't claim.
01:47:19.643 --> 01:47:24.356
Because that small,
01:47:24.981 --> 01:47:28.193
worthless golden statue
01:47:28.944 --> 01:47:32.072
is covered with the
blood of my friends.
01:47:38.954 --> 01:47:40.514
I'll get it.
01:47:42.457 --> 01:47:45.335
Hello? Oh, hello, Otto.
01:47:45.418 --> 01:47:47.587
I've read your last draft.
01:47:47.671 --> 01:47:48.880
What do you think?
01:47:48.964 --> 01:47:54.094
My answer is on the front page
of today's New York Times.
01:48:01.434 --> 01:48:03.436
You hated it that much?
01:48:03.979 --> 01:48:06.857
Merry Christmas, Mr. Trumbo.
01:48:12.612 --> 01:48:14.823
Ed, have a seat.
01:48:35.594 --> 01:48:36.845
Well,
why doesn't he kill him?
01:48:36.928 --> 01:48:38.430
Kill him.
01:48:38.513 --> 01:48:39.723
Kill him!
01:48:39.806 --> 01:48:41.183
- Kill him, you imbecile!
- Kill him!
01:48:41.266 --> 01:48:42.267
Kill him!
01:48:46.855 --> 01:48:49.191
Great. Great.
01:48:49.274 --> 01:48:50.483
Marty, have them
put up the scene
01:48:50.567 --> 01:48:51.610
with Varinia and Crassus.
01:48:51.693 --> 01:48:52.777
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
01:48:52.861 --> 01:48:54.779
Listen, Kirk, I...
One second.
01:49:01.494 --> 01:49:05.665
Warren, I'd like you to
put out a press release.
01:49:05.749 --> 01:49:08.376
The screen...
One second, Warren.
01:49:08.460 --> 01:49:11.755
What do you remember when
you think about Spartacus?
01:49:15.300 --> 01:49:18.136
He was a man
who began all alone
01:49:18.220 --> 01:49:19.387
like an animal.
01:49:20.180 --> 01:49:21.598
Yet on the day he died,
01:49:21.681 --> 01:49:23.183
thousands and thousands
01:49:23.266 --> 01:49:25.060
would gladly
have died in his place.
01:49:26.686 --> 01:49:29.356
What was he? Was he a god?
01:49:30.815 --> 01:49:33.526
He wasn't a god.
01:49:33.610 --> 01:49:37.280
He was simple man. A slave.
01:49:41.243 --> 01:49:42.410
I loved him.
01:49:43.370 --> 01:49:48.291
Warren, the press release
will say,
01:49:48.375 --> 01:49:51.753
"The screenplay for Spartacus
was written by Dalton Trumbo."
01:49:51.836 --> 01:49:52.837
Thank you.
01:49:54.506 --> 01:49:57.676
Kirk, if you don't get
rid of Trumbo, I will.
01:49:57.759 --> 01:50:01.388
And right after I quit,
you can reshoot all my scenes.
01:50:01.471 --> 01:50:06.476
You see, Ed,
for better or worse,
01:50:06.559 --> 01:50:08.603
I am Spartacus.
01:50:12.857 --> 01:50:16.945
There's a picture coming out.
It's called Spartacus.
01:50:17.028 --> 01:50:18.780
It's starring Kirk Douglas,
01:50:18.863 --> 01:50:21.783
and it is written by
Dalton Trumbo.
01:50:23.618 --> 01:50:26.121
If there is some
other writer's name on it,
01:50:26.204 --> 01:50:27.872
don't believe it.
01:50:27.956 --> 01:50:29.624
We're on to them.
01:50:36.339 --> 01:50:38.425
- Yes?
- Now, listen, Ed.
01:50:38.508 --> 01:50:40.760
We'll picket every theater
that movie is in
01:50:40.844 --> 01:50:43.054
unless you pull
the prints tonight.
01:50:43.138 --> 01:50:45.223
And you get that
traitor's name off it.
01:50:45.307 --> 01:50:47.142
Hedda, you can't
put me in this position.
01:50:47.225 --> 01:50:48.425
That's expensive
and pointless.
01:50:48.476 --> 01:50:50.145
Then you can kiss
your movie, your studio
01:50:50.228 --> 01:50:52.564
and your miserable ass
goodbye.
01:50:52.647 --> 01:50:54.232
Hollywood
turns out in force
01:50:54.316 --> 01:50:57.110
to hail Ul's new film
spectacle, Spartacus,
01:50:57.193 --> 01:50:59.321
on the premier of the
$12-million picture,
01:50:59.404 --> 01:51:00.572
in the film colony.
01:51:00.655 --> 01:51:03.074
The protesters also showed up
to remind everyone
01:51:03.158 --> 01:51:04.826
of the political controversy
01:51:04.909 --> 01:51:07.120
surrounding the
making of this film.
01:52:00.131 --> 01:52:01.299
Cleo?
01:52:05.095 --> 01:52:06.888
What is it? What's wrong?
01:52:07.013 --> 01:52:08.807
Oh...
01:52:15.480 --> 01:52:19.150
It's over, isn't it?
01:52:21.945 --> 01:52:23.488
Yes. Yes.
01:52:27.575 --> 01:52:29.244
And we made it.
01:52:33.873 --> 01:52:35.083
Yes.
01:52:39.629 --> 01:52:42.257
President Kennedy
enjoyed a rare evening off
01:52:42.340 --> 01:52:46.261
attending the new
Kirk Douglas film, Spartacus.
01:52:46.344 --> 01:52:49.931
We are here live, awaiting
the president's comments.
01:52:51.141 --> 01:52:53.893
Mr. President,
Mr. President, Mr. President!
01:52:53.977 --> 01:52:55.728
It's a very
controversial film.
01:52:55.812 --> 01:52:57.355
What did you think?
01:52:57.439 --> 01:53:00.191
Oh, I think
it's a fine picture,
01:53:00.275 --> 01:53:02.569
and I think
it's going to be a big hit.
01:53:02.652 --> 01:53:03.653
The implication of.
01:53:03.736 --> 01:53:06.698
Kennedy's approval of
this film are wide ranging.
01:53:06.781 --> 01:53:09.742
The novel was written
by a former communist.
01:53:10.285 --> 01:53:13.079
The screenplay was adapted
by a former communist.
01:53:13.329 --> 01:53:16.332
And this signifies the
blacklist may be over,
01:53:16.416 --> 01:53:19.210
as Kirk Douglas
and Otto Preminger
01:53:19.294 --> 01:53:22.839
have openly hired
and credited blacklisted writers.
01:53:23.298 --> 01:53:28.553
This is a clear repudiation of a
decade-long fight by anti-communists...
01:53:32.140 --> 01:53:33.766
This next award
is for the member
01:53:33.850 --> 01:53:36.561
who has advanced the
literature of motion pictures.
01:53:36.644 --> 01:53:39.522
Occasionally, there appears
among us a person
01:53:39.731 --> 01:53:42.400
whose virtues are so manifest,
01:53:42.484 --> 01:53:44.569
who so subordinates
his own ego
01:53:44.652 --> 01:53:45.987
to the concerns of others,
01:53:46.070 --> 01:53:48.114
who lives in such harmony
01:53:48.198 --> 01:53:50.325
with all the standards
of the community,
01:53:50.408 --> 01:53:53.411
that he is revered
and loved by everyone.
01:53:53.495 --> 01:53:56.247
Such a man,
Dalton Trumbo is not.
01:53:59.334 --> 01:54:01.211
It gives me great
pleasure to present
01:54:01.294 --> 01:54:03.880
the Writers Guild of
America Laurel Award
01:54:03.963 --> 01:54:05.715
to Dalton Trumbo.
01:54:12.680 --> 01:54:13.723
Congratulations.
01:54:13.806 --> 01:54:15.600
Thank you,
thank you very much.
01:54:22.065 --> 01:54:23.691
Thank you,
thank you very much,
01:54:23.775 --> 01:54:25.068
ladies and gentlemen.
01:54:26.528 --> 01:54:33.076
Often, when I stand before
the film community,
01:54:33.159 --> 01:54:35.954
there's an elephant
in the room.
01:54:36.037 --> 01:54:37.539
Me.
01:54:37.622 --> 01:54:41.793
And I thought
I would address that.
01:54:45.004 --> 01:54:50.343
The blacklist
was a time of evil.
01:54:50.426 --> 01:54:54.222
And no one who survived it
01:54:54.305 --> 01:54:57.684
came through
untouched by evil.
01:54:59.686 --> 01:55:02.981
Caught in a situation
that had passed
01:55:03.064 --> 01:55:06.526
beyond the control
of mere individuals.
01:55:07.402 --> 01:55:10.863
Each person reacted
as his nature,
01:55:10.947 --> 01:55:13.825
his needs, his convictions,
01:55:13.908 --> 01:55:16.119
and his particular
circumstances
01:55:16.202 --> 01:55:18.121
compelled him to.
01:55:18.204 --> 01:55:20.707
It was a time of fear.
01:55:22.166 --> 01:55:25.503
And no one was exempt.
01:55:25.587 --> 01:55:31.259
Scores of people
lost their homes.
01:55:31.884 --> 01:55:34.846
Their families disintegrated.
They lost!
01:55:40.435 --> 01:55:42.145
And in some...
01:55:46.691 --> 01:55:49.569
Some even lost their lives.
01:55:53.656 --> 01:55:59.287
But when you look back
upon that dark time,
01:55:59.370 --> 01:56:02.165
as I think you should
every now and then,
01:56:03.333 --> 01:56:05.001
it will do you no good
01:56:05.084 --> 01:56:10.715
to search
for heroes or villains.
01:56:10.798 --> 01:56:12.508
There weren't any.
01:56:13.635 --> 01:56:15.720
There were only victims.
01:56:17.972 --> 01:56:21.351
Victims, because each of us
01:56:21.434 --> 01:56:24.687
felt compelled to
say or do things
01:56:24.771 --> 01:56:26.189
that we otherwise would not.
01:56:27.982 --> 01:56:31.903
To deliver or receive wounds
01:56:31.986 --> 01:56:36.074
which we truly
did not wish to exchange.
01:56:38.368 --> 01:56:41.954
I look out to my family
sitting there,
01:56:42.038 --> 01:56:46.918
and I realize
what I've put them through.
01:56:48.836 --> 01:56:50.630
And it's unfair.
01:56:54.801 --> 01:57:01.641
My wife, who somehow
kept it all together,
01:57:02.266 --> 01:57:04.227
amazes me.
01:57:05.770 --> 01:57:10.441
And so what I say here tonight
01:57:10.525 --> 01:57:13.069
is not intended
01:57:13.152 --> 01:57:18.157
to be hurtful to anyone.
01:57:20.159 --> 01:57:24.330
It is intended
to heal the hurt.
01:57:26.541 --> 01:57:30.670
To repair the wounds which,
01:57:30.753 --> 01:57:33.297
for years,
01:57:33.381 --> 01:57:37.927
have been inflicted
upon each other.
01:57:38.970 --> 01:57:43.057
And most egregiously,
upon ourselves.
01:57:48.855 --> 01:57:51.649
Thank you. Thank you kindly.
02:00:41.152 --> 02:00:43.613
If you receive the Oscar,
02:00:43.696 --> 02:00:45.865
what do you intend
to do with it?
02:00:45.948 --> 02:00:50.953
I have... I have a daughter,
13 years old.
02:00:52.622 --> 02:00:56.542
I've been blacklisted
since she was three.
02:00:56.626 --> 02:00:58.502
She's known the title
02:00:58.586 --> 02:01:02.214
of every motion picture
I've written in this study.
02:01:02.298 --> 02:01:05.843
And she's kept that title
secret till now.
02:01:05.927 --> 02:01:08.137
A soldier.
02:01:08.220 --> 02:01:11.182
When her friends say to her,
as children do,
02:01:11.265 --> 02:01:14.602
"My father does so-and-so.
What does your father do?"
02:01:14.685 --> 02:01:19.023
This has confronted her
with a very real problem.
02:01:19.106 --> 02:01:20.426
It confronts her
with the problem,
02:01:20.483 --> 02:01:22.777
and has since she was three,
02:01:22.860 --> 02:01:25.988
of who her father really is.
02:01:26.072 --> 02:01:29.033
And what her father
really does.
02:01:30.701 --> 02:01:34.163
I, uh, think
02:01:34.246 --> 02:01:38.334
I will give this Oscar,
if I get it, to that girl.
02:01:39.752 --> 02:01:42.296
I think I will tell her,
02:01:42.380 --> 02:01:45.007
"Well, here is one secret"
02:01:45.091 --> 02:01:48.386
"you no longer need
to be burdened with."
02:01:49.303 --> 02:01:54.141
I'll tell her we have
our names back again.
02:01:54.165 --> 02:02:05.165
