Review of Trumbo (2015) by Cigs J — 07 Jan 2017

Bryan Cranston does a splendid turn as the talented but stubborn Dalton Trumbo. He wrote Sparcatus, Roman holiday and other oscar winning films. He was an avowed communist even though he was one of the richest men in Hollywood at the time.

Then the communist witch hunts began and he was jailed for a year. After that he, along with thousands of others were blacklisted. He had to revert to penning his work as his friends output or anonymously.

But he was so talented that Holywood bosses took a blind eye. The anti-communist committee was still persecuting people right up to 1975.
