00:02:42,794 --> 00:02:45,928
What do you want, Rocco? What we all want.
3
00:02:45,930 --> 00:02:49,899
Not die young, poor or alone.
4
00:02:49,901 --> 00:02:53,337
Manny, these guys, they...
5
00:02:53,339 --> 00:02:56,405
I don't give 'em what they're after,
6
00:02:56,407 --> 00:02:58,408
they'll kill me.
7
00:02:58,410 --> 00:03:00,743
Hold it, Rocco.
8
00:03:00,745 --> 00:03:05,381
We don't fight these guys,
sure, maybe you get that...
9
00:03:05,383 --> 00:03:06,783
Shit. Goddamn it.
10
00:03:06,785 --> 00:03:08,117
Cut.
11
00:03:08,119 --> 00:03:09,920
- Props.
- Cut.
12
00:03:09,922 --> 00:03:12,421
- Sorry. Sorry, everyone.
- Going again, Eddie.
13
00:03:12,423 --> 00:03:14,023
Sorry, Sam.
14
00:03:14,025 --> 00:03:16,760
Of course. The one day
the author is among us.
15
00:03:16,762 --> 00:03:19,830
Among us. Sure as hell ain't one of us.
16
00:03:19,832 --> 00:03:23,399
- What's my brilliant line, Trumbo?
- Oh.
17
00:03:23,401 --> 00:03:25,534
I've got it right here. "Hold it, Rocco.
18
00:03:25,536 --> 00:03:28,637
Now, if we don't fight these guys,
19
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:33,510
sure, maybe you get that
long, happy life we all want."
20
00:03:33,512 --> 00:03:35,678
So, what do you got me fighting for then?
21
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,582
Well, peace on earth, goodwill toward men.
22
00:03:39,584 --> 00:03:42,853
Well, you can't do that. This is America.
23
00:03:42,855 --> 00:03:46,088
All right. How about sex and money?
24
00:03:46,090 --> 00:03:48,992
There you go. Two things we all love.
25
00:03:48,994 --> 00:03:52,161
- Well...
- One of your little sermons on citizenship.
26
00:03:52,163 --> 00:03:56,133
All right, going again.
27
00:03:56,135 --> 00:03:57,868
Mayer lined up the "A" Team.
28
00:03:57,870 --> 00:04:01,137
Sam Wood to shoot. Dalton
Trumbo for rewrites.
29
00:04:01,139 --> 00:04:03,539
- I had no crew to work.
- So fingers crossed.
30
00:04:03,541 --> 00:04:05,174
You wouldn't work, God forbid,
31
00:04:05,176 --> 00:04:07,777
you cross a picket line for set builders.
32
00:04:07,779 --> 00:04:11,181
What the hell do set builders
have to do with writing?
33
00:04:11,183 --> 00:04:14,683
What writers write, builders build.
34
00:04:14,685 --> 00:04:17,154
What they build, you shoot.
35
00:04:17,156 --> 00:04:20,524
Now, you make all the money you possibly
can. So do I. Why shouldn't they?
36
00:04:20,526 --> 00:04:22,125
And why can't we help them?
37
00:04:22,127 --> 00:04:24,760
Listen to you, the swimming pool Soviet.
38
00:04:24,762 --> 00:04:28,798
Oh, for God sakes, you won,
Sam. The strike is over.
39
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,000
And you just might try
being a gracious winner.
40
00:04:31,002 --> 00:04:32,835
You know, it's never over with you people.
41
00:04:32,837 --> 00:04:35,772
- "You people"?
- Strike after strike after strike.
42
00:04:35,774 --> 00:04:37,707
Whatever it takes to seek justice.
43
00:04:37,709 --> 00:04:42,145
Hey, you know what?
44
00:04:42,147 --> 00:04:43,880
- I'm gonna go on strike...
- Good for you.
45
00:04:43,882 --> 00:04:45,882
against people who go on strike.
46
00:04:45,884 --> 00:04:48,618
- Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam.
- And I won't cross your picket line either.
47
00:04:48,620 --> 00:04:50,887
Oh, give me that, Trumbo. You're just...
48
00:04:50,889 --> 00:04:53,890
You know what? I've spent a
hell of a long time... What?
49
00:04:53,892 --> 00:04:55,625
You're not helping... Eddie...
50
00:04:55,627 --> 00:04:57,226
Sam, we gotta talk about
those scenes tomorrow.
51
00:04:57,228 --> 00:04:59,695
Disaster. Who the hell wrote that crap?
52
00:04:59,697 --> 00:05:01,964
- But, uh, first...
- Oh!
53
00:05:01,966 --> 00:05:04,967
- May I have this dance?
- Eddie. God.
54
00:05:04,969 --> 00:05:07,371
Having fun?
55
00:05:08,707 --> 00:05:12,644
- Eternally.
- Miss Hopper.
56
00:05:14,479 --> 00:05:16,246
Dateline, Hollywood.
57
00:05:16,248 --> 00:05:19,782
The offices of top
columnist Hedda Hopper.
58
00:05:19,784 --> 00:05:21,984
Greetings from our film capital
59
00:05:21,986 --> 00:05:24,520
where all is sun and fun.
60
00:05:24,522 --> 00:05:27,823
Or is it? You see the
famous faces here?
61
00:05:27,825 --> 00:05:32,094
Danny Kaye, Humphrey Bogart, his
dishy bride, Lauren Bacall...
62
00:05:32,096 --> 00:05:34,130
all of whom have declared solidarity
63
00:05:34,132 --> 00:05:37,166
with film crews picketing
for higher wages
64
00:05:37,168 --> 00:05:39,803
in walkouts that
quickly turned violent.
65
00:05:39,805 --> 00:05:45,207
Because these strikes were in fact
the work of dangerous radicals.
66
00:05:45,209 --> 00:05:48,044
Here, we see actor
Edward G. Robinson,
67
00:05:48,046 --> 00:05:49,912
star of Double Indemnity.
68
00:05:49,914 --> 00:05:52,948
And this is writer Dalton Trumbo,
69
00:05:52,950 --> 00:05:56,719
who is, like many of those
strikers and their supporters,
70
00:05:56,721 --> 00:05:59,154
a registered Communist.
71
00:05:59,156 --> 00:06:01,724
Who exactly is behind
these walkouts?
72
00:06:01,726 --> 00:06:03,726
You actually create something.
73
00:06:03,728 --> 00:06:05,762
- And why?
- And they reap all the profits.
74
00:06:05,764 --> 00:06:07,931
- Now, is that fair?
- No!
75
00:06:07,933 --> 00:06:09,798
Our elected leaders will find out.
76
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,669
- Unite and fight!
- Congressman J. Parnell Thomas
77
00:06:12,671 --> 00:06:15,805
and his House Un-American
Activities Committee.
78
00:06:15,807 --> 00:06:19,642
Communism is not
some faraway threat.
79
00:06:19,644 --> 00:06:21,710
Its most dangerous agents are here,
80
00:06:21,712 --> 00:06:24,080
controlling the airwaves
and movie screens,
81
00:06:24,082 --> 00:06:26,116
taking over its employees
and their unions.
82
00:06:26,118 --> 00:06:31,154
They need to be identified
as the enemies they are.
83
00:06:31,156 --> 00:06:34,823
Communists. Their
goal: world domination.
84
00:06:34,825 --> 00:06:38,727
The front line of a new
kind of war, a Cold War.
85
00:06:38,729 --> 00:06:41,130
A conspiracy to corrupt
democratic values
86
00:06:41,132 --> 00:06:45,101
and bring about the
overthrow of this nation.
87
00:06:45,103 --> 00:06:48,037
Mitzi fell asleep.
88
00:06:48,039 --> 00:06:51,608
Hey. That you in the newsreel?
89
00:06:51,610 --> 00:06:53,342
Yes, it was.
90
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,614
Traitor.
91
00:06:58,616 --> 00:07:00,683
Oh, my God. Honey.
92
00:07:00,685 --> 00:07:03,286
No, I'm all right. I'm
all right. No harm done.
93
00:07:03,288 --> 00:07:06,658
- Come on. Let's go home.
- How rude.
94
00:07:08,827 --> 00:07:10,859
- Dad.
- Hmm?
95
00:07:10,861 --> 00:07:13,729
Are you a Communist?
96
00:07:13,731 --> 00:07:15,766
I am.
97
00:07:17,135 --> 00:07:19,368
Is that against the law?
98
00:07:19,370 --> 00:07:21,238
It is not.
99
00:07:23,774 --> 00:07:28,945
The lady with the big hat said
you were a dangerous radical.
100
00:07:28,947 --> 00:07:31,781
Are you?
101
00:07:31,783 --> 00:07:35,751
Radical? Maybe.
102
00:07:35,753 --> 00:07:37,753
Dangerous.
103
00:07:37,755 --> 00:07:40,089
Only to men who fling cokes.
104
00:07:40,091 --> 00:07:42,726
I love our country.
105
00:07:42,728 --> 00:07:44,995
And it's a good government.
106
00:07:44,997 --> 00:07:47,897
But anything good could be better.
107
00:07:47,899 --> 00:07:49,901
Don't you think?
108
00:07:51,069 --> 00:07:53,803
Is Mom a Communist?
109
00:07:53,805 --> 00:07:56,138
No.
110
00:07:56,140 --> 00:07:59,274
Am I?
111
00:07:59,276 --> 00:08:03,346
Well, why don't we give
you the official test.
112
00:08:03,348 --> 00:08:05,248
Mom makes your favorite lunch.
113
00:08:05,250 --> 00:08:07,917
- Ham and cheese.
- Ham and cheese.
114
00:08:07,919 --> 00:08:11,821
And at school, you see
someone with no lunch at all.
115
00:08:11,823 --> 00:08:13,789
What do you do?
116
00:08:13,791 --> 00:08:16,159
- Share.
- Share?
117
00:08:16,161 --> 00:08:20,063
- Well, you don't tell them to just go get a job?
- No.
118
00:08:20,065 --> 00:08:23,366
Oh. You offer them a loan at six
percent. Oh, that's very clever.
119
00:08:23,368 --> 00:08:25,201
Dad.
120
00:08:25,203 --> 00:08:29,905
- Ah, then you just ignore them.
- No.
121
00:08:29,907 --> 00:08:32,107
Well, well.
122
00:08:32,109 --> 00:08:35,377
You little Commie.
123
00:08:35,379 --> 00:08:39,082
Trumbo, as usual, you
only make sense to you.
124
00:08:39,084 --> 00:08:42,217
Let 'em call you a
Communist, me a Democrat.
125
00:08:42,219 --> 00:08:43,952
They're both legitimate parties.
126
00:08:43,954 --> 00:08:45,989
Yours is just meaner and duller.
127
00:08:45,991 --> 00:08:48,757
- But there's nothing illegal about any of it.
- Yet.
128
00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:52,428
Hunter, tell your friend to dial
down the paranoia and have a drink.
129
00:08:52,430 --> 00:08:54,463
I don't think he's being paranoid enough.
130
00:08:54,465 --> 00:08:56,866
Oh, not you too.
131
00:08:56,868 --> 00:08:58,467
You're out of ice.
132
00:08:58,469 --> 00:09:02,038
Now, I have taken the liberty
of drawing up a pamphlet.
133
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,906
The subject:
134
00:09:03,908 --> 00:09:08,444
Congress unaware of a little
thing called the First Amendment.
135
00:09:08,446 --> 00:09:11,246
Oh, they're aware of it.
They just don't give a shit.
136
00:09:11,248 --> 00:09:14,016
All they care about is
this nice new war of theirs.
137
00:09:14,018 --> 00:09:16,752
These guys love war,
and this is a great one,
138
00:09:16,754 --> 00:09:20,189
'cause it's vague and it's
scary and it's expensive.
139
00:09:20,191 --> 00:09:23,760
Anybody for it is a hero and
anybody against it is a traitor.
140
00:09:23,762 --> 00:09:25,227
Exactly. Thank you.
141
00:09:25,229 --> 00:09:26,962
Arlen, not near the painting.
142
00:09:26,964 --> 00:09:30,866
If you think this is about
the movies, you're an idiot.
143
00:09:30,868 --> 00:09:34,437
Which is why I'm going to have a
little chat with the other side.
144
00:09:34,439 --> 00:09:37,240
- You don't mean the Alliance, do you?
- I do.
145
00:09:37,242 --> 00:09:39,141
Are you out of your mind?
146
00:09:39,143 --> 00:09:42,812
Eddie, they're all actors and
writers and directors, just like us.
147
00:09:42,814 --> 00:09:45,814
They're Nazis. They're just
too cheap to buy the uniforms.
148
00:09:45,816 --> 00:09:47,350
They invited Congress out here.
149
00:09:47,352 --> 00:09:50,819
And are they all Sam
Woods and Hedda Hoppers?
150
00:09:50,821 --> 00:09:54,524
Please, let's not demonize
people we don't really know.
151
00:09:54,526 --> 00:09:56,326
I say we go for it.
152
00:09:56,328 --> 00:09:59,162
And you know who you're gonna
be talking to there, don't you?
153
00:09:59,164 --> 00:10:02,801
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. John Wayne.
154
00:10:08,773 --> 00:10:12,308
I wanna say one thing about a place I love.
155
00:10:12,310 --> 00:10:14,343
No, not Hollywood.
156
00:10:14,345 --> 00:10:16,478
I like Hollywood,
157
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,948
but I love America.
158
00:10:21,051 --> 00:10:23,886
And when we talk about America,
159
00:10:23,888 --> 00:10:26,322
I'm talking about freedom.
160
00:10:26,324 --> 00:10:28,957
The kind of freedom we just
fought a World War to save.
161
00:10:31,329 --> 00:10:34,364
You wanna be a Communist,
go be a Communist.
162
00:10:34,366 --> 00:10:36,866
But some friends of mine in Washington
163
00:10:36,868 --> 00:10:39,235
think you've got some questions to answer.
164
00:10:39,237 --> 00:10:41,037
I never knew he was this good.
165
00:10:41,039 --> 00:10:43,173
- You still wanna be a Commie?
- 'Cause he's not acting.
166
00:10:43,175 --> 00:10:44,973
- Go be one in Russia.
- That's him.
167
00:10:44,975 --> 00:10:49,146
But off you go, and
enjoy the Bolshoi Ballet.
168
00:10:52,850 --> 00:10:55,552
Excuse me, sir. Would you like
to read about the First Amendment?
169
00:10:55,554 --> 00:10:57,287
- Sir, a little education.
- To know your rights.
170
00:10:57,289 --> 00:10:59,154
Pamphlet on the First Amendment.
171
00:10:59,156 --> 00:11:01,423
- A little light reading.
- Travels well.
172
00:11:01,425 --> 00:11:03,159
No.
173
00:11:03,161 --> 00:11:05,563
Well, thank you, Sam.
174
00:11:07,265 --> 00:11:08,898
Do svidaniya.
175
00:11:08,900 --> 00:11:10,366
It costs money to print those.
176
00:11:10,368 --> 00:11:13,436
- How would you like to learn about the First Amendment?
- This is a nightmare.
177
00:11:13,438 --> 00:11:15,371
- Dalton.
- Oh, Hedda.
178
00:11:15,373 --> 00:11:17,039
Good evening to you.
179
00:11:17,041 --> 00:11:18,942
Eddie, darling.
180
00:11:18,944 --> 00:11:20,443
Hedda.
181
00:11:20,445 --> 00:11:22,178
A new hat.
182
00:11:22,180 --> 00:11:24,981
Oh. Daily, darling. Daily.
183
00:11:24,983 --> 00:11:28,418
Been to the movies lately, Dalton?
184
00:11:28,420 --> 00:11:32,087
Duke. Now, wasn't he magnificent?
185
00:11:32,089 --> 00:11:34,490
Just saying what needs saying. Hiya, Eddie.
186
00:11:34,492 --> 00:11:36,592
Duke.
187
00:11:36,594 --> 00:11:38,627
I hear you and your pals got a pamphlet.
188
00:11:38,629 --> 00:11:40,496
- Any takers?
- Not yet.
189
00:11:40,498 --> 00:11:44,867
Uh, would you like one,
sir? We're Communists.
190
00:11:44,869 --> 00:11:47,270
He's, uh, a writer.
191
00:11:47,272 --> 00:11:49,472
You won't get any takers. Not here anyway.
192
00:11:49,474 --> 00:11:51,307
Oh, why's that?
193
00:11:51,309 --> 00:11:56,446
All it says is that Congress has
no right to investigate how we vote
194
00:11:56,448 --> 00:12:01,317
or where we pray, what we
think, say or how we make movies.
195
00:12:01,319 --> 00:12:04,254
Hello. I'm Dalton Trumbo.
196
00:12:04,256 --> 00:12:08,223
Congress has the right to go after
anything they think is a threat.
197
00:12:08,225 --> 00:12:10,326
Well, that's where we disagree.
198
00:12:10,328 --> 00:12:12,194
And that's the point.
199
00:12:12,196 --> 00:12:15,130
We both have the right to be wrong.
200
00:12:15,132 --> 00:12:19,235
You wanna talk about rights? First,
tell me whose side you're one.
201
00:12:19,237 --> 00:12:22,105
Russia's no friend, not
anymore. You better wake up,
202
00:12:22,107 --> 00:12:24,106
'cause it's a new day.
203
00:12:24,108 --> 00:12:25,942
A new day.
204
00:12:25,944 --> 00:12:28,510
And?
205
00:12:28,512 --> 00:12:30,380
And maybe it's not for your kind.
206
00:12:30,382 --> 00:12:33,917
My kind? What... What kind is that?
207
00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:37,352
The kind that has no idea
why we just won a war.
208
00:12:37,354 --> 00:12:41,423
It's curious. That's the
second time you mentioned that.
209
00:12:41,425 --> 00:12:44,593
See, I was a war correspondent in Okinawa.
210
00:12:44,595 --> 00:12:47,963
Hedda's son was stationed
in the Philippines.
211
00:12:47,965 --> 00:12:51,167
Eddie was in Europe with the
Office of War Information.
212
00:12:51,169 --> 00:12:54,136
Where did you serve again?
213
00:12:54,138 --> 00:12:55,638
You trying to say something?
214
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,042
- No, Duke, he wasn't.
- Stay out of it, Eddie.
215
00:12:59,044 --> 00:13:03,246
If you're going to talk about World
War II as if you personally won it,
216
00:13:03,248 --> 00:13:06,381
let's be clear where you were stationed.
217
00:13:06,383 --> 00:13:10,520
On a film set, shooting
blanks, wearing makeup.
218
00:13:10,522 --> 00:13:12,621
And if you're going to hit me,
219
00:13:12,623 --> 00:13:15,626
I would like to take off my glasses.
220
00:13:16,961 --> 00:13:18,727
Duke, come on. Let's get out of here.
221
00:13:18,729 --> 00:13:20,630
Thank you, Dalton.
222
00:13:20,632 --> 00:13:23,533
My next column just wrote itself.
223
00:13:23,535 --> 00:13:25,568
It's a good thing you
didn't wanna demonize anybody
224
00:13:25,570 --> 00:13:28,139
or else that could have been awkward.
225
00:13:29,174 --> 00:13:31,341
Manny wouldn't say "amorous."
226
00:13:31,343 --> 00:13:34,309
Hang on one second.
Paul, two packs, please.
227
00:13:34,311 --> 00:13:36,446
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
228
00:13:36,448 --> 00:13:38,850
Here you go.
229
00:13:45,190 --> 00:13:48,323
Good God. She's everywhere.
230
00:13:48,325 --> 00:13:53,029
Your next deal's gonna make you the
highest paid writer in Hollywood.
231
00:13:53,031 --> 00:13:55,664
Which will make you the highest
paid writer in the world.
232
00:13:55,666 --> 00:13:58,034
You earned it.
233
00:13:58,036 --> 00:14:01,103
You don't just write happy
endings. You actually believe them.
234
00:14:01,105 --> 00:14:03,239
That's what people pay to see.
235
00:14:03,241 --> 00:14:05,241
That's why you belong
here at MGM. Right, L.B.?
236
00:14:05,243 --> 00:14:10,347
I hate to make the wooing too
easy for you, but where do I sign?
237
00:14:13,417 --> 00:14:15,650
- All right.
- Just one thing.
238
00:14:15,652 --> 00:14:17,754
If you're gonna work for me,
239
00:14:17,756 --> 00:14:24,260
I never, ever wanna see
anything like this again.
240
00:14:24,262 --> 00:14:25,761
You won't.
241
00:14:25,763 --> 00:14:28,231
- I promise.
- Good.
242
00:14:28,233 --> 00:14:31,202
Just stop reading Hedda Hopper.
243
00:14:36,507 --> 00:14:38,640
So, what did L.B. say then?
244
00:14:38,642 --> 00:14:43,279
Oh, Jesus, don't. I haven't eaten
since. My job's not hard enough?
245
00:14:43,281 --> 00:14:45,781
Your job is not hard at all.
246
00:14:45,783 --> 00:14:49,785
You think getting Mayer to sign
you after those headlines was easy?
247
00:14:49,787 --> 00:14:54,656
You have a record-breaking
three-year contract to make shit up.
248
00:14:54,658 --> 00:14:56,827
You're welcome.
249
00:15:00,330 --> 00:15:04,167
- Oh! Honey, not now.
- Please, Mom?
250
00:15:04,169 --> 00:15:06,702
She really can. Ask her.
251
00:15:06,704 --> 00:15:08,603
Cleo, is this true?
252
00:15:08,605 --> 00:15:10,775
Watch this.
253
00:15:12,109 --> 00:15:13,744
Trumbo.
254
00:15:16,180 --> 00:15:18,713
- Of course you realize this means war.
- Behold.
255
00:15:18,715 --> 00:15:20,850
I had a very unusual mother.
256
00:15:20,852 --> 00:15:22,784
Translation: stage mother.
257
00:15:22,786 --> 00:15:24,853
Oh!
258
00:15:24,855 --> 00:15:28,824
The misspent youth of a child acrobat.
259
00:15:28,826 --> 00:15:32,160
Ooh! My God, how long
were you in show business?
260
00:15:32,162 --> 00:15:34,529
Till I was 15. But it was
more show forced labor.
261
00:15:34,531 --> 00:15:37,500
- Hey!
- Bravo!
262
00:15:37,502 --> 00:15:39,803
Brilliant!
263
00:15:49,113 --> 00:15:51,347
Mr. Dalton Trumbo?
264
00:15:51,349 --> 00:15:53,751
Yes?
265
00:15:55,119 --> 00:15:57,087
I'll see you in Washington.
266
00:16:02,694 --> 00:16:04,693
Enjoy your picnic.
267
00:16:04,695 --> 00:16:06,862
Let's go, boys.
268
00:16:06,864 --> 00:16:10,232
Yes, Mr. Stripling, sir.
269
00:16:10,234 --> 00:16:12,534
Nineteen subpoenas have been issued
270
00:16:12,536 --> 00:16:15,303
to those we believe have knowledge
271
00:16:15,305 --> 00:16:18,307
of the ongoing Communist
threat in Hollywood.
272
00:16:18,309 --> 00:16:19,909
What kind of threat is that?
273
00:16:19,911 --> 00:16:22,611
Conspiracy to corrupt democratic values
274
00:16:22,613 --> 00:16:24,614
and bring about the
overthrow of this nation.
275
00:16:24,616 --> 00:16:26,848
Using movies?
276
00:16:26,850 --> 00:16:28,717
Any movie in particular or...
277
00:16:28,719 --> 00:16:31,553
Movies are the most powerful
influence ever created.
278
00:16:31,555 --> 00:16:36,358
And they are infested with hidden traitors.
279
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,495
The House Un-American Activities
Committee has been formed
280
00:16:39,497 --> 00:16:43,232
to investigate alleged
Communists working in Hollywood.
281
00:16:43,234 --> 00:16:47,038
The newsreel cameras and an army
of newspapermen are on hand.
282
00:16:48,238 --> 00:16:50,339
Mr. Reagan, has it
been reported to you
283
00:16:50,341 --> 00:16:52,774
that certain members of the Screen
Actors Guild are Communists?
284
00:16:52,776 --> 00:16:54,476
There has been a small group
285
00:16:54,478 --> 00:16:56,312
more or less following the tactics
286
00:16:56,314 --> 00:17:00,248
that we, uh, associate
with the Communist Party.
287
00:17:00,250 --> 00:17:03,785
And would you refer to them
as a disrupting influence?
288
00:17:03,787 --> 00:17:07,924
I would say that at times they have
attempted to be a disruptive influence.
289
00:17:07,926 --> 00:17:11,427
Do you believe that the motion picture
industry is doing everything it can
290
00:17:11,429 --> 00:17:14,697
to rid itself of subversive
un-American influences?
291
00:17:14,699 --> 00:17:16,899
No. The Communists are everywhere.
292
00:17:16,901 --> 00:17:19,502
They... They report
directly to Moscow.
293
00:17:19,504 --> 00:17:21,437
On numerous occasions,
294
00:17:21,439 --> 00:17:23,805
Communist agitators have tried hard
295
00:17:23,807 --> 00:17:25,675
to steer us into the red river.
296
00:17:25,677 --> 00:17:29,879
We had a little too
much weight for that.
297
00:17:29,881 --> 00:17:32,881
Will you name a few
of these agitators?
298
00:17:32,883 --> 00:17:34,984
Well, Irving Pichel,
299
00:17:34,986 --> 00:17:39,322
uh, Edward Dmytryk, Frank Tuttle.
300
00:17:39,324 --> 00:17:40,957
If I had my way about it,
301
00:17:40,959 --> 00:17:44,459
they'd all be sent back to Russia
or some other unpleasant place.
302
00:17:46,363 --> 00:17:49,631
We get our chance to testify in three days.
303
00:17:49,633 --> 00:17:53,335
And what we're about to do
won't make us too popular.
304
00:17:53,337 --> 00:17:55,670
Okay, so we get slandered, and then what?
305
00:17:55,672 --> 00:17:59,542
You answer every question
they ask in your own way.
306
00:17:59,544 --> 00:18:03,411
- So don't tell them shit.
- Beautifully put.
307
00:18:03,413 --> 00:18:06,983
- Well, you know what they call that.
- Yes.
308
00:18:06,985 --> 00:18:10,486
In all likelihood, we'll be
cited for contempt of Congress.
309
00:18:10,488 --> 00:18:12,755
There will be a trial.
310
00:18:12,757 --> 00:18:16,891
- What am I missing here? All I'm hearing is jail.
- Not necessarily.
311
00:18:16,893 --> 00:18:20,963
In a lower court, yes,
we'll most likely lose.
312
00:18:20,965 --> 00:18:23,332
But on appeal, it'll work.
313
00:18:23,334 --> 00:18:26,569
The Supreme Court is a
five-to-four liberal majority.
314
00:18:26,571 --> 00:18:29,438
They think this committee is
unconstitutional. They want it killed.
315
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:34,744
Sounds great. I'm out.
316
00:18:34,746 --> 00:18:37,180
Niki.
317
00:18:40,852 --> 00:18:43,785
Look, I can't afford this stuff
you guys are talking about...
318
00:18:43,787 --> 00:18:45,720
the Supreme Court and legal fees.
319
00:18:45,722 --> 00:18:48,323
You know, Dorothy's not gonna...
320
00:18:48,325 --> 00:18:49,925
I mean, things already aren't great,
321
00:18:49,927 --> 00:18:52,695
but, you know, if I dump
all my savings into that,
322
00:18:52,697 --> 00:18:54,697
she's gone, with the kids.
323
00:18:54,699 --> 00:18:56,799
I'll cover you.
324
00:18:56,801 --> 00:19:00,705
Expenses, travel, legal fees, everything.
325
00:19:02,073 --> 00:19:04,974
You don't even like me.
326
00:19:04,976 --> 00:19:08,446
I like you fine. You don't like me.
327
00:19:14,651 --> 00:19:16,886
No, you know what it is? I don't trust you.
328
00:19:16,888 --> 00:19:19,322
Well, I'd say go on,
but I'm afraid you will.
329
00:19:19,324 --> 00:19:21,424
Look, I know what I am. Okay?
330
00:19:21,426 --> 00:19:23,692
I want this whole country to
be different, top to bottom.
331
00:19:23,694 --> 00:19:26,829
If I get what I want,
nobody gets their own lake.
332
00:19:26,831 --> 00:19:29,031
Well, that would be a very
dull life, don't you think?
333
00:19:29,033 --> 00:19:31,600
Yeah, for you. Not for
the guys who built this.
334
00:19:31,602 --> 00:19:33,401
If I'm wrong, tell me.
335
00:19:33,403 --> 00:19:36,538
But ever since I've known
you, you talk like a radical,
336
00:19:36,540 --> 00:19:39,475
but you live like a rich guy.
337
00:19:39,477 --> 00:19:41,509
That is true.
338
00:19:41,511 --> 00:19:44,780
Well, I don't know that you... I don't
think you're willing to lose all of this
339
00:19:44,782 --> 00:19:47,582
just to do the right thing.
340
00:19:49,519 --> 00:19:51,419
Well, I despise martyrdom,
341
00:19:51,421 --> 00:19:54,622
and I won't fight for a
lost cause, so you're right.
342
00:19:54,624 --> 00:19:56,691
I'm not willing to lose
it all, certainly not them.
343
00:19:58,363 --> 00:20:00,996
But I am willing to risk it all.
344
00:20:00,998 --> 00:20:04,967
That's where the radical and the
rich guy make a perfect combination.
345
00:20:04,969 --> 00:20:08,871
The radical may fight
with the purity of Jesus.
346
00:20:08,873 --> 00:20:13,074
But the rich guy wins
with the cunning of Satan.
347
00:20:13,076 --> 00:20:15,578
- Oh, shit.
- What?
348
00:20:15,580 --> 00:20:18,781
Just please shut up.
349
00:20:18,783 --> 00:20:20,515
Please.
350
00:20:20,517 --> 00:20:22,685
I'll do whatever you want. Just...
351
00:20:22,687 --> 00:20:26,721
Please don't say shit like that anymore.
352
00:20:30,161 --> 00:20:32,961
I can't guarantee that.
353
00:20:32,963 --> 00:20:34,764
In Washington,
354
00:20:34,766 --> 00:20:37,867
10 of the original 19
subpoenaed began their testimony
355
00:20:37,869 --> 00:20:40,703
before the House Un-American
Activities Committee.
356
00:20:40,705 --> 00:20:42,205
Mr. Trumbo, raise your right hand.
357
00:20:42,207 --> 00:20:44,739
Do you solemnly swear the
testimony you are about to give
358
00:20:44,741 --> 00:20:47,543
is the truth, the whole truth,
nothing but the truth so help you God?
359
00:20:47,545 --> 00:20:50,713
- I do.
- Sit down, please.
360
00:20:50,715 --> 00:20:55,016
Mr. Trumbo, now I shall ask you
a series of various questions,
361
00:20:55,018 --> 00:20:57,553
all of which can be
answered with a yes or no.
362
00:20:57,555 --> 00:21:02,425
Well, I shall answer yes or
no if I please to answer.
363
00:21:02,427 --> 00:21:05,160
I shall answer in my own words.
364
00:21:05,162 --> 00:21:07,830
Many questions can
be answered yes or no
365
00:21:07,832 --> 00:21:10,432
only by a moron or a slave.
366
00:21:10,434 --> 00:21:11,900
That's enough!
367
00:21:11,902 --> 00:21:13,803
Are you refusing to answer the question?
368
00:21:13,805 --> 00:21:16,938
Mr. Chairman, I will refuse to
answer none of your questions.
369
00:21:16,940 --> 00:21:21,177
Are you now or have you ever been
a member of the Communist Party?
370
00:21:21,179 --> 00:21:24,045
- May I introduce into evidence...
- No. No. You are out of order.
371
00:21:24,047 --> 00:21:26,448
- my work or screenplays...
- No, no, no, no, no. No, no.
372
00:21:26,450 --> 00:21:28,817
by which you are making this determination?
373
00:21:28,819 --> 00:21:30,453
The chair will rule.
374
00:21:30,455 --> 00:21:32,086
- It's critical to...
- No. Just a minute.
375
00:21:32,088 --> 00:21:33,788
Your screenplays are too long.
376
00:21:33,790 --> 00:21:35,858
I've heard that before.
377
00:21:35,860 --> 00:21:39,227
Are you now or have you ever been
a member of the Communist Party?
378
00:21:39,229 --> 00:21:43,532
- Am I accused of a crime?
- You're not asking the questions.
379
00:21:43,534 --> 00:21:45,700
If so, I believe I have the right
380
00:21:45,702 --> 00:21:49,772
to be confronted with any evidence
that supports this question.
381
00:21:49,774 --> 00:21:52,842
- Are you refusing to answer?
- I should very much like to see what you have.
382
00:21:52,844 --> 00:21:55,244
Oh, you would? You will see very soon.
383
00:21:55,246 --> 00:21:57,846
- Good.
- The witness is excused.
384
00:21:57,848 --> 00:22:00,049
You believe this committee has
the right to compel testimony...
385
00:22:00,051 --> 00:22:02,150
You are dismissed, sir.
Witness is dismissed.
386
00:22:02,152 --> 00:22:05,521
- to indict opinion, to criminalize thought.
- Take him out!
387
00:22:05,523 --> 00:22:07,890
- But that right does not exist, sir.
- Order!
388
00:22:07,892 --> 00:22:09,891
And the moment it does, God help us all.
389
00:22:09,893 --> 00:22:12,127
This is typical Communist
tactics. Typical Communist tactics.
390
00:22:12,129 --> 00:22:14,596
This is the beginning of an
American concentration camp.
391
00:22:14,598 --> 00:22:15,730
Order!
392
00:22:15,732 --> 00:22:17,999
Uh, state your name, please.
393
00:22:18,001 --> 00:22:20,069
Arlen Hird. I'm a screenwriter.
394
00:22:20,071 --> 00:22:22,804
You understand, sir, that if
you don't answer my questions,
395
00:22:22,806 --> 00:22:24,672
I can hold you in contempt of Congress.
396
00:22:24,674 --> 00:22:26,876
I didn't refuse yet, did I?
397
00:22:26,878 --> 00:22:29,978
Are you now or have you ever been
a member of the Communist Party?
398
00:22:29,980 --> 00:22:33,148
Well, I'd like to answer you, Congressman,
but I need to consult with my physician.
399
00:22:33,150 --> 00:22:35,184
- Your physician? I don't understand.
- Yes.
400
00:22:35,186 --> 00:22:37,719
To find out if he can
surgically remove my conscience.
401
00:22:39,190 --> 00:22:40,855
This is a hostile witness.
402
00:22:40,857 --> 00:22:43,792
This is typical Communist tactics.
403
00:22:50,267 --> 00:22:54,069
Arlen. Arlen, what is it?
404
00:22:58,276 --> 00:22:59,941
It's cancer.
405
00:22:59,943 --> 00:23:02,977
What?
406
00:23:02,979 --> 00:23:05,880
Jesus.
407
00:23:05,882 --> 00:23:08,684
Well... How long have you known?
408
00:23:08,686 --> 00:23:10,151
Three months.
409
00:23:10,153 --> 00:23:12,086
- Months?
- Mm-hmm.
410
00:23:12,088 --> 00:23:15,224
Are you receiving treatments?
411
00:23:15,226 --> 00:23:18,960
Ah, I don't like the options.
412
00:23:18,962 --> 00:23:21,063
It's lung cancer.
413
00:23:21,065 --> 00:23:23,501
Bad if you operate, bad if you don't.
414
00:23:25,769 --> 00:23:28,471
Well, is there anything I can do for you?
415
00:23:29,739 --> 00:23:31,273
No.
416
00:23:31,275 --> 00:23:32,941
No. It's cancer.
417
00:23:32,943 --> 00:23:36,178
- Yeah, uh...
- Jesus.
418
00:23:36,180 --> 00:23:38,913
You wanna do something?
Make sure this plan works.
419
00:23:38,915 --> 00:23:41,851
I'm out of options.
420
00:23:59,236 --> 00:24:02,338
We were so young. We
thought we knew everything.
421
00:24:02,340 --> 00:24:04,005
We did.
422
00:24:04,007 --> 00:24:06,307
No, not me.
423
00:24:06,309 --> 00:24:09,311
No, I didn't realize
how much I loved it all
424
00:24:09,313 --> 00:24:13,148
until I reached a certain age
and the roles started drying up.
425
00:24:13,150 --> 00:24:16,619
I remember thinking, now, what
do you do when you love something
426
00:24:16,621 --> 00:24:18,187
but it stops loving you back?
427
00:24:18,189 --> 00:24:20,622
- You fight.
- No, no, no.
428
00:24:20,624 --> 00:24:24,726
You love it more till it surrenders.
429
00:24:24,728 --> 00:24:29,698
Hedda, you never left MGM or my heart.
430
00:24:31,168 --> 00:24:32,834
How's your boy?
431
00:24:32,836 --> 00:24:34,703
Fine. Fine.
432
00:24:34,705 --> 00:24:37,238
- Still in the navy?
- Yes. He's first lieutenant.
433
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,742
You raised a real hero.
434
00:24:39,744 --> 00:24:41,709
Which is why I would like to tell him
435
00:24:41,711 --> 00:24:44,213
that we are doing as much
for this country as he is.
436
00:24:44,215 --> 00:24:46,381
It's complicated.
437
00:24:46,383 --> 00:24:50,252
Trumbo, the others, all have contracts.
438
00:24:50,254 --> 00:24:52,388
Oh, L.B.,
439
00:24:52,390 --> 00:24:55,390
you helped build this business, as did I.
440
00:24:55,392 --> 00:24:58,026
We're not gonna watch
these pissants defile it.
441
00:24:58,028 --> 00:25:01,196
I'm running a studio here, Hedda.
442
00:25:01,198 --> 00:25:03,832
You think I love every
person on my payroll?
443
00:25:03,834 --> 00:25:07,035
Grow up.
444
00:25:07,037 --> 00:25:11,806
Then how about I make it crystal
clear to my 35 million readers
445
00:25:11,808 --> 00:25:17,412
exactly who runs Hollywood
and won't fire these traitors.
446
00:25:17,414 --> 00:25:21,115
How about I name names? Real names.
447
00:25:21,117 --> 00:25:24,386
Jacob Warner. Jack Warner.
448
00:25:24,388 --> 00:25:27,288
Szmuel Gelbfisz. Sam Goldwyn.
449
00:25:27,290 --> 00:25:30,458
And, of course, yours. Lazar Meir.
450
00:25:30,460 --> 00:25:32,194
You watch what you say to me.
451
00:25:32,196 --> 00:25:35,130
Forty years ago, you were
starving in some shtetl.
452
00:25:35,132 --> 00:25:38,766
The greatest country on earth takes
you in, gives you wealth, power.
453
00:25:38,768 --> 00:25:41,903
But the second we need you, you do nothing.
454
00:25:41,905 --> 00:25:46,708
And that's exactly what my readers
expect from a business run by kikes.
455
00:25:46,710 --> 00:25:48,379
Get out!
456
00:25:50,980 --> 00:25:53,916
You know, L.B., I am fond of you.
457
00:25:53,918 --> 00:25:57,085
Some of my happiest years
were spent on this lot.
458
00:25:57,087 --> 00:25:59,455
Not in your office, of course.
459
00:25:59,457 --> 00:26:02,056
You were always trying
to fuck me on the couch.
460
00:26:02,058 --> 00:26:05,026
Me, trying to maintain my virtue, barely.
461
00:26:05,028 --> 00:26:07,028
But times change.
462
00:26:07,030 --> 00:26:10,399
Now I'd happily fuck you.
463
00:26:13,903 --> 00:26:20,074
All studios unanimously agree to discharge
the Hollywood 10 without compensation,
464
00:26:20,076 --> 00:26:22,143
effective immediately.
465
00:26:22,145 --> 00:26:25,913
No studio will ever employ a
member of the Communist Party
466
00:26:25,915 --> 00:26:28,417
or anyone refusing to cooperate
467
00:26:28,419 --> 00:26:31,419
in our struggle with
this terrible new menace.
468
00:26:31,421 --> 00:26:36,291
He's been loved by film
fans for almost 20 years.
469
00:26:36,293 --> 00:26:40,294
But have you noticed? He hasn't
been on screen much lately.
470
00:26:40,296 --> 00:26:42,797
Bad box office? No.
471
00:26:42,799 --> 00:26:44,932
Bad politics.
472
00:26:44,934 --> 00:26:48,504
Bad news indeed for
Mr. Edward G. Robinson.
473
00:26:48,506 --> 00:26:50,405
Thank you so much for coming.
474
00:26:50,407 --> 00:26:54,476
The, uh... The Hollywood 10 are
going to court for all of us.
475
00:26:54,478 --> 00:26:57,379
It'll be long, expensive,
476
00:26:57,381 --> 00:27:01,015
so please give as much as
you can to the defense fund.
477
00:27:01,017 --> 00:27:04,285
Thank you for coming.
478
00:27:04,287 --> 00:27:06,788
- Good night, my dear.
- Good luck.
479
00:27:06,790 --> 00:27:08,556
Good night, sir. Thank you.
480
00:27:08,558 --> 00:27:10,825
Well...
481
00:27:10,827 --> 00:27:14,295
This little gathering didn't quite have
the zip and zing of yesteryear, did it?
482
00:27:14,297 --> 00:27:16,430
Where are all the liberals all of a sudden?
483
00:27:16,432 --> 00:27:18,867
At their lawyers or psychiatrists.
484
00:27:18,869 --> 00:27:21,803
Oh, likely both.
485
00:27:21,805 --> 00:27:23,371
For the defense fund.
486
00:27:23,373 --> 00:27:25,239
Eddie.
487
00:27:25,241 --> 00:27:26,975
Have you been working?
488
00:27:26,977 --> 00:27:29,546
Ah. It's a bit slow.
489
00:27:32,182 --> 00:27:34,515
You sold one.
490
00:27:34,517 --> 00:27:37,319
Ah, the van Gogh.
491
00:27:37,321 --> 00:27:39,188
Got a good price.
492
00:27:39,190 --> 00:27:42,224
Eddie.
493
00:27:42,226 --> 00:27:45,194
Dear God. Look at this.
Eddie, I can't let you do...
494
00:27:45,196 --> 00:27:47,496
- I'll be fine, kid. Take it.
- No. It's too much.
495
00:27:47,498 --> 00:27:49,531
- You...
- It's just too much.
496
00:27:51,602 --> 00:27:53,838
Take it.
497
00:27:55,072 --> 00:27:57,171
Eddie, I...
498
00:27:57,173 --> 00:28:01,275
Everything that you have...
499
00:28:01,277 --> 00:28:04,379
What he's trying to say
is that he loves you.
500
00:28:04,381 --> 00:28:07,015
I love him too,
501
00:28:07,017 --> 00:28:09,051
the warty son of a bitch.
502
00:28:09,053 --> 00:28:11,986
Got a great offer on the Monet.
503
00:28:11,988 --> 00:28:14,022
If you wanna bribe the jury.
504
00:28:15,992 --> 00:28:20,294
In the matter of The United
States v. Dalton Trumbo,
505
00:28:20,296 --> 00:28:24,365
we find the defendant guilty
of contempt of Congress.
506
00:28:26,503 --> 00:28:28,637
Mr. Trumbo! Mr. Trumbo!
507
00:28:30,341 --> 00:28:32,608
I'll meet you in the car.
508
00:28:32,610 --> 00:28:34,575
Mr. Trumbo, are you in
contempt of Congress?
509
00:28:34,577 --> 00:28:37,044
Well, I have total
contempt of this Congress.
510
00:28:37,046 --> 00:28:39,614
I just thought the jury would see why.
511
00:28:39,616 --> 00:28:43,919
The Supreme Court will drop-kick
this verdict into speeding traffic
512
00:28:43,921 --> 00:28:47,121
and end the most shameful
chapter in congressional history.
513
00:28:47,123 --> 00:28:50,191
Now, that's it, boys. We have nothing
else. No, we're done. We're done.
514
00:28:50,193 --> 00:28:52,226
How are you doing for money?
515
00:28:52,228 --> 00:28:54,563
Broke as a bankrupt's bastard. Why?
516
00:28:54,565 --> 00:28:56,665
Oh, well, you owe me $30,000,
517
00:28:56,667 --> 00:28:58,633
and this appeal's going to be twice that.
518
00:28:58,635 --> 00:29:00,435
Well, I'd better get to work.
519
00:29:00,437 --> 00:29:04,305
Doing what? You have no
talent to do anything else.
520
00:29:04,307 --> 00:29:07,942
Hollywood fights back.
521
00:29:07,944 --> 00:29:09,578
This is Gregory Peck.
522
00:29:09,580 --> 00:29:13,515
A state of near hysteria over
so-called Communists in this country
523
00:29:13,517 --> 00:29:16,251
threatens the freedom
of other citizens.
524
00:29:16,253 --> 00:29:19,921
So the Un-American Committee
bears its tragic fruit.
525
00:29:19,923 --> 00:29:21,323
This is Lucille Ball.
526
00:29:21,325 --> 00:29:22,858
All of us agree
527
00:29:22,860 --> 00:29:26,428
that the Constitution of the
United States must be defended.
528
00:29:26,430 --> 00:29:31,033
But the way to do this is not by
shutting up the man you disagree with.
529
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:34,303
You must fight for his
right to speak and be heard.
530
00:29:34,305 --> 00:29:37,072
All civil liberties go hand in hand.
531
00:29:37,074 --> 00:29:39,174
And when one goes, the
others are weakened.
532
00:29:39,176 --> 00:29:41,208
Just as a collapse of
one pillar in a house
533
00:29:41,210 --> 00:29:44,715
would endanger the whole structure.
534
00:29:54,458 --> 00:29:57,127
We'll send you home in a couple of days.
535
00:29:58,228 --> 00:30:01,697
Well, sounds like you're going to live.
536
00:30:01,699 --> 00:30:04,735
Yeah. They got me just
well enough to go to prison.
537
00:30:06,469 --> 00:30:08,402
How do you feel?
538
00:30:08,404 --> 00:30:13,140
Breathing with one lung,
which is half as good as two.
539
00:30:13,142 --> 00:30:15,610
Look, Arlen,
540
00:30:15,612 --> 00:30:17,379
I heard about Dorothy.
541
00:30:17,381 --> 00:30:20,015
Yeah. She took off.
542
00:30:20,017 --> 00:30:23,084
Her timing was always amazing.
543
00:30:24,555 --> 00:30:26,388
I'm sorry.
544
00:30:26,390 --> 00:30:29,827
No, well, I know. I mean,
how could you leave all this?
545
00:30:32,363 --> 00:30:36,098
How's... How's it going out there?
546
00:30:36,100 --> 00:30:38,769
Everyone envies you.
547
00:30:40,403 --> 00:30:42,704
Well, why wouldn't they?
548
00:30:42,706 --> 00:30:45,239
I got the best room in the joint.
549
00:30:45,241 --> 00:30:46,675
You should know.
550
00:30:46,677 --> 00:30:49,511
You paid for it.
551
00:30:49,513 --> 00:30:51,246
Congratulations, Buddy.
552
00:30:51,248 --> 00:30:53,247
Thank you, fellas. Who needs the studios?
553
00:30:53,249 --> 00:30:55,684
I am strictly independent.
Got cans of film,
554
00:30:55,686 --> 00:30:59,487
wads of Wall Street dough
and my favorite boss, me.
555
00:31:01,357 --> 00:31:05,659
- Hear! Hear!
- Cheers! Cheers!
556
00:31:05,661 --> 00:31:08,063
And you, you crazy son of a bitch,
557
00:31:08,065 --> 00:31:11,565
you're gonna write all my movies
once this Washington crap clears up.
558
00:31:11,567 --> 00:31:13,701
And how will that happen?
559
00:31:13,703 --> 00:31:15,669
I'm not political, thank Jesus.
560
00:31:15,671 --> 00:31:17,538
If they called me in, accused me,
561
00:31:17,540 --> 00:31:20,074
I'd just say, "Yep, did
it. Sorry. Didn't mean it."
562
00:31:20,076 --> 00:31:22,677
So Congress then asks,
563
00:31:22,679 --> 00:31:26,680
are you now or have you
ever been a Democrat?
564
00:31:26,682 --> 00:31:28,483
I am.
565
00:31:28,485 --> 00:31:33,220
And, God, I just feel awful about it.
566
00:31:33,222 --> 00:31:36,425
Then they want the
names of other Democrats.
567
00:31:36,427 --> 00:31:39,863
Bill and Earl, Nate, Tom.
568
00:31:42,065 --> 00:31:44,166
Then I say, go to hell.
569
00:31:44,168 --> 00:31:46,435
Really?
570
00:31:46,437 --> 00:31:49,973
How many banks fund enemies of the state?
571
00:31:51,174 --> 00:31:54,442
Your money's gone unless you give
the names of your friends here.
572
00:31:54,444 --> 00:31:56,477
They'll never work again,
573
00:31:56,479 --> 00:31:59,248
but it's the only way you ever will.
574
00:32:03,453 --> 00:32:09,392
We all know each other,
our families. We're friends.
575
00:32:11,194 --> 00:32:13,963
What would you do, Buddy?
576
00:32:17,668 --> 00:32:20,101
Only you.
577
00:32:20,103 --> 00:32:22,838
Piss on the best day of
a guy's life. Only you.
578
00:32:30,747 --> 00:32:33,747
Christ's sake.
579
00:32:33,749 --> 00:32:37,254
"According to the protocol set forward"...
580
00:32:41,458 --> 00:32:44,160
And what does she say?
581
00:32:45,595 --> 00:32:48,431
What does the princess say?
582
00:32:55,238 --> 00:32:57,371
Shit.
583
00:32:57,373 --> 00:32:59,877
Shit!
584
00:33:01,879 --> 00:33:04,446
"Shouldn't be any likeness.
585
00:33:04,448 --> 00:33:08,483
It concerns me a little bit."
586
00:33:08,485 --> 00:33:10,886
Oh. Good morning, Nikola.
587
00:33:10,888 --> 00:33:13,588
I thought you weren't
allowed to write anymore.
588
00:33:13,590 --> 00:33:16,725
Ah, no.
589
00:33:16,727 --> 00:33:21,630
No, just not allowed to put
my name on it or get paid.
590
00:33:21,632 --> 00:33:23,833
How does that work?
591
00:33:25,902 --> 00:33:28,903
Not very well.
592
00:33:28,905 --> 00:33:30,772
- It's funny.
- Yeah.
593
00:33:30,774 --> 00:33:34,476
It's breezy and romantic. Who wrote it?
594
00:33:34,478 --> 00:33:37,579
You did, old boy.
595
00:33:37,581 --> 00:33:39,880
You stick your name on my labor,
596
00:33:39,882 --> 00:33:42,950
hand it in to your studio,
and we're in business.
597
00:33:42,952 --> 00:33:47,221
Look, it is just dumb luck that I
wasn't subpoenaed and blacklisted myself.
598
00:33:47,223 --> 00:33:48,924
The hearings are going
to start up again soon.
599
00:33:48,926 --> 00:33:50,759
I'm going to get called and canned.
600
00:33:50,761 --> 00:33:52,560
Well, then quick, lad.
601
00:33:52,562 --> 00:33:55,629
Let's sell this little beauty
and split the take, 50-50.
602
00:33:55,631 --> 00:33:59,366
Ridiculous. I'll take 10%.
603
00:33:59,368 --> 00:34:01,303
You'll take 20.
604
00:34:01,305 --> 00:34:03,772
No, 30. And that's my final offer.
605
00:34:03,774 --> 00:34:06,274
- You're the worst businessman ever.
- Hmm.
606
00:34:06,276 --> 00:34:08,609
I hate the title.
607
00:34:08,611 --> 00:34:10,712
Me too.
608
00:34:10,714 --> 00:34:12,379
Really? What's wrong with it?
609
00:34:12,381 --> 00:34:14,348
- The Princess and the Peasant.
- Yes.
610
00:34:14,350 --> 00:34:17,685
Please, Trumbo, it
sounds like a puppet show.
611
00:34:17,687 --> 00:34:20,389
- Well, then, change it.
- I did.
612
00:34:23,727 --> 00:34:26,228
Really? You think this title's better?
613
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:28,462
Roman Holiday.
614
00:34:28,464 --> 00:34:29,797
I like it.
615
00:34:29,799 --> 00:34:32,667
Who invited you?
616
00:34:32,669 --> 00:34:35,904
I did. She's my favorite Trumbo.
617
00:34:35,906 --> 00:34:37,938
I'm introducing legislation
618
00:34:37,940 --> 00:34:41,009
so in the event of a national emergency,
619
00:34:41,011 --> 00:34:43,712
all Communists will be
sent to internment camps.
620
00:34:43,714 --> 00:34:45,647
And the president supports this?
621
00:34:45,649 --> 00:34:47,515
He'd better.
622
00:34:47,517 --> 00:34:51,319
Parnell, I need to speak to you
privately about your employees.
623
00:34:51,321 --> 00:34:53,922
- Where's the authority?
- Excuse me, gentlemen.
624
00:34:53,924 --> 00:34:55,757
As I said, Bob,
625
00:34:55,759 --> 00:34:58,393
these are legitimate salaried
employees from my home state.
626
00:34:58,395 --> 00:35:01,328
What you didn't tell me is that
every one of them is a relative.
627
00:35:01,330 --> 00:35:04,665
- Which is completely legal.
- Except that none of them pay taxes.
628
00:35:04,667 --> 00:35:06,567
Don't say anything else without a lawyer.
629
00:35:06,569 --> 00:35:08,572
Congressman!
630
00:35:16,413 --> 00:35:17,812
- No.
- Mrs. Trumbo.
631
00:35:17,814 --> 00:35:19,813
Mrs. Trumbo!
632
00:35:19,815 --> 00:35:21,549
- Hi.
- Jeff.
633
00:35:21,551 --> 00:35:24,551
Ma'am, I gotta get paid.
634
00:35:24,553 --> 00:35:26,721
Oh. I'm so sorry.
635
00:35:26,723 --> 00:35:28,823
I-I got men with families.
636
00:35:28,825 --> 00:35:31,792
My husband hasn't been
able to get any work.
637
00:35:31,794 --> 00:35:33,527
We owe everyone.
638
00:35:33,529 --> 00:35:35,397
- Ma'am, please.
- I'm so...
639
00:35:35,399 --> 00:35:39,035
Ha! We're rich!
640
00:35:40,803 --> 00:35:43,004
Here you are, Jeffrey.
641
00:35:43,006 --> 00:35:45,940
You people sure live exciting lives.
642
00:35:45,942 --> 00:35:48,877
Well, I thank you. Appreciate it.
643
00:35:48,879 --> 00:35:50,578
Thank you, Betty.
644
00:35:50,580 --> 00:35:52,614
We did it, Cleo.
645
00:35:52,616 --> 00:35:54,616
We sold Roman Holiday. Paramount.
646
00:35:54,618 --> 00:35:57,851
Our beloved Ian is just...
647
00:35:57,853 --> 00:36:00,054
- Why, what's the matter?
- Judge Rutledge died.
648
00:36:00,056 --> 00:36:03,525
- No, that was Judge Murphy who died last month.
- And Rutledge.
649
00:36:03,527 --> 00:36:06,129
Last night.
650
00:36:14,471 --> 00:36:18,038
Oh, now.
651
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,908
Everything will be all right.
652
00:36:20,910 --> 00:36:23,411
You'll see.
653
00:36:23,413 --> 00:36:25,879
Without a liberal majority on the court,
654
00:36:25,881 --> 00:36:29,817
our appeal's gonna be denied.
655
00:36:29,819 --> 00:36:34,358
Meaning we should all be
prepared to go to prison.
656
00:36:42,466 --> 00:36:45,600
I wouldn't change anything going back,
657
00:36:45,602 --> 00:36:47,604
not one thing.
658
00:36:49,638 --> 00:36:52,541
Let's ask each other in a year.
659
00:37:02,752 --> 00:37:07,456
Will you do me a favor? Hold
on to this while I'm gone.
660
00:37:08,491 --> 00:37:10,626
Thank you, dear.
661
00:37:12,094 --> 00:37:15,429
Your mother needs to
laugh at least once a day.
662
00:37:15,431 --> 00:37:16,897
Deal?
663
00:37:16,899 --> 00:37:19,433
Okay.
664
00:37:19,435 --> 00:37:22,706
Where's that little pumpkin seed?
665
00:37:32,015 --> 00:37:33,781
- To the Hollywood 10!
- Thank you.
666
00:37:35,886 --> 00:37:38,188
To the Hollywood 10!
667
00:37:40,957 --> 00:37:45,062
To the Hollywood 10! You're heroes!
668
00:38:18,962 --> 00:38:21,995
Twenty-eight cents. Gold lighter.
669
00:38:21,997 --> 00:38:24,366
Wallet.
670
00:38:25,669 --> 00:38:27,601
Cigarette case.
671
00:38:30,906 --> 00:38:33,674
Raise your hands.
672
00:38:33,676 --> 00:38:35,143
Open your mouth.
673
00:38:35,145 --> 00:38:36,978
Wider.
674
00:38:36,980 --> 00:38:39,080
Turn your head to the right.
675
00:38:39,082 --> 00:38:41,181
To the left.
676
00:38:41,183 --> 00:38:44,051
Tilt your head back.
677
00:38:44,053 --> 00:38:46,555
Spread your legs.
678
00:38:47,957 --> 00:38:51,393
Grab your sack and skin it back.
679
00:38:52,629 --> 00:38:56,029
Turn around.
680
00:38:56,031 --> 00:38:58,400
Spread your cheeks.
681
00:38:59,969 --> 00:39:01,935
Squat.
682
00:39:01,937 --> 00:39:03,904
Cough.
683
00:39:06,576 --> 00:39:08,578
Turn around.
684
00:39:10,580 --> 00:39:13,281
Move out.
685
00:39:13,283 --> 00:39:15,552
Next!
686
00:39:23,093 --> 00:39:25,960
So the warden says I gotta be right.
687
00:39:25,962 --> 00:39:27,828
Boy, want another job?
688
00:39:27,830 --> 00:39:30,130
I put him in charge of the
whole goddamn supply room.
689
00:39:30,132 --> 00:39:32,334
'Cause I know something the warden don't.
690
00:39:38,808 --> 00:39:42,976
Truck's unloaded.
691
00:39:42,978 --> 00:39:46,448
Driver needs a signature.
692
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:00,664
Actually, uh, he needs it right here.
693
00:40:10,774 --> 00:40:15,275
You know, if, uh... if you need any help,
694
00:40:15,277 --> 00:40:19,647
I used to run shipping at a... at a bakery.
695
00:40:19,649 --> 00:40:21,181
I heard you was a writer.
696
00:40:21,183 --> 00:40:22,951
Ah, well, that too.
697
00:40:22,953 --> 00:40:25,886
And a Commie.
698
00:40:25,888 --> 00:40:28,355
What the fuck is wrong with you people?
699
00:40:28,357 --> 00:40:32,893
- This is a great country.
- Agreed.
700
00:40:32,895 --> 00:40:34,930
You type?
701
00:40:41,103 --> 00:40:43,439
Stop.
702
00:40:46,076 --> 00:40:49,678
Well, now, if only I could read it.
703
00:40:55,618 --> 00:40:59,654
"Protocol as to return of goods.
704
00:40:59,656 --> 00:41:03,658
There shall be triplicate
copies of form 14-A filed
705
00:41:03,660 --> 00:41:07,396
with Supply, Shipping
and office of the warden."
706
00:41:08,797 --> 00:41:10,897
You think you gonna teach me the alphabet
707
00:41:10,899 --> 00:41:12,866
and I'm gonna shake your hand all grateful
708
00:41:12,868 --> 00:41:14,801
and say, "Thank you, Mr. Trumbo.
709
00:41:14,803 --> 00:41:18,674
You done changed my life,
sir. I never forget you."
710
00:41:22,678 --> 00:41:27,080
I got 20 years killing me a
white man who tried to rob my bar.
711
00:41:27,082 --> 00:41:30,884
I did it, and I'd do it again.
712
00:41:30,886 --> 00:41:34,022
You look down on me and I will fuck you up
713
00:41:34,024 --> 00:41:39,192
like you've never been fucked up in
your whole bullshit Beverly Hills life.
714
00:41:39,194 --> 00:41:42,763
Now I'm here trying to build
my time and make parole.
715
00:41:42,765 --> 00:41:45,067
You wanna help make that happen?
716
00:41:49,406 --> 00:41:53,977
Welcome to fucking Supply, comrade.
717
00:42:00,183 --> 00:42:02,417
Dear Cleo,
718
00:42:02,419 --> 00:42:05,053
I don't count the days or hours.
719
00:42:05,055 --> 00:42:07,254
I count the seconds.
720
00:42:07,256 --> 00:42:10,424
Sometimes I think
I'll die of boredom.
721
00:42:10,426 --> 00:42:12,993
Other times, fear.
722
00:42:12,995 --> 00:42:15,129
Not of this place.
723
00:42:15,131 --> 00:42:18,266
So far its challenges
are all surmountable,
724
00:42:18,268 --> 00:42:21,335
augmented by days of lovely boredom.
725
00:42:21,337 --> 00:42:25,138
So flat and calm in the
wake of all that churning,
726
00:42:25,140 --> 00:42:28,009
ugly, luckless battle.
727
00:42:28,011 --> 00:42:33,114
No, my fear is for what
will happen when I get out.
728
00:42:33,116 --> 00:42:35,817
To our family and our country.
729
00:42:35,819 --> 00:42:38,018
One gallon of baked beans.
730
00:42:38,020 --> 00:42:40,788
Not all the news is worrisome.
731
00:42:40,790 --> 00:42:45,493
Some reminds me that what the
imagination can't conjure,
732
00:42:45,495 --> 00:42:48,261
reality delivers with a shrug.
733
00:42:48,263 --> 00:42:53,100
And reality has delivered
in all its beatific wonder
734
00:42:53,102 --> 00:42:57,304
to the federal penal
system, J. Parnell Thomas,
735
00:42:57,306 --> 00:43:00,308
convicted of tax evasion.
736
00:43:00,310 --> 00:43:02,944
Well, look at us.
737
00:43:02,946 --> 00:43:05,413
Just a couple of jailbirds.
738
00:43:05,415 --> 00:43:09,552
Except you actually committed a crime.
739
00:43:13,422 --> 00:43:16,491
Yet, in all this,
740
00:43:16,493 --> 00:43:22,029
I know I'm the luckiest
unlucky man ever to live,
741
00:43:22,031 --> 00:43:26,933
because you and the
children warm, feed, clothe,
742
00:43:26,935 --> 00:43:29,904
pacify and rejuvenate me
743
00:43:29,906 --> 00:43:32,973
by never leaving my heart.
744
00:43:32,975 --> 00:43:37,947
Love, prisoner number 7551.
745
00:43:42,785 --> 00:43:45,353
We're not gonna take
that hill from the Japs
746
00:43:45,355 --> 00:43:49,190
with bullets, bombs or fists.
747
00:43:49,192 --> 00:43:51,125
- Yeah!
- We're gonna take it with blood.
748
00:43:51,127 --> 00:43:54,562
Whoever spills more, loses.
749
00:43:54,564 --> 00:43:58,031
And we don't lose. Do we?
750
00:43:58,033 --> 00:44:00,035
No!
751
00:44:06,875 --> 00:44:09,009
You lose.
752
00:44:09,011 --> 00:44:11,447
That's what I thought.
753
00:44:15,018 --> 00:44:17,919
You know John Wayne?
754
00:44:17,921 --> 00:44:19,988
I do.
755
00:44:21,024 --> 00:44:23,924
What's he like?
756
00:44:23,926 --> 00:44:27,027
You'd love each other.
757
00:44:27,029 --> 00:44:29,129
Isn't he beautiful?
758
00:44:29,131 --> 00:44:31,066
Okay.
759
00:44:32,268 --> 00:44:35,205
Mom, I got a new one.
760
00:44:37,073 --> 00:44:39,339
Okay, wait.
761
00:44:39,341 --> 00:44:42,009
Come on. You're gonna scare the horse.
762
00:44:42,011 --> 00:44:45,179
Mom, you better come quick!
763
00:44:45,181 --> 00:44:48,015
Edward Robinson, are you
now or have you ever been
764
00:44:48,017 --> 00:44:49,549
a member of the Communist Party?
765
00:44:49,551 --> 00:44:54,054
I'm not now, sir, nor have I
ever been a member of that party.
766
00:44:54,056 --> 00:44:57,190
I have always been a liberal Democrat.
767
00:44:57,192 --> 00:44:58,993
But in your home over the years,
768
00:44:58,995 --> 00:45:01,194
there have been political
meetings attended by those
769
00:45:01,196 --> 00:45:02,897
that we now know to be Communists.
770
00:45:02,899 --> 00:45:07,335
Yes, sir. Yes, that has
now been made clear to me.
771
00:45:07,337 --> 00:45:11,471
- There were tremendous activities and fund-raisers
- Shit.
772
00:45:11,473 --> 00:45:14,174
that went on in my
house during the war.
773
00:45:14,176 --> 00:45:20,248
I did not know then all
of their true affiliations
774
00:45:20,250 --> 00:45:22,516
or-or the work that they were up to.
775
00:45:22,518 --> 00:45:26,386
It never entered my mind that any
of these people were Communists.
776
00:45:26,388 --> 00:45:30,391
I was duped and used.
777
00:45:30,393 --> 00:45:32,125
I was lied to.
778
00:45:32,127 --> 00:45:34,228
But who used you?
779
00:45:34,230 --> 00:45:37,297
Well, um, these sinister forces
780
00:45:37,299 --> 00:45:40,533
who-who probably ran these organizations.
781
00:45:40,535 --> 00:45:44,006
Well, tell us the individuals
that you have referenced to.
782
00:45:50,980 --> 00:45:53,049
Mr. Robinson?
783
00:45:55,919 --> 00:45:59,155
Well, uh, you had Albert Maltz.
784
00:46:00,189 --> 00:46:05,659
Um, I knew Frank Tuttle...
785
00:46:05,661 --> 00:46:09,096
and that other fellow,
that top fellow
786
00:46:09,098 --> 00:46:11,464
who they say is the
commissar out there.
787
00:46:11,466 --> 00:46:13,266
- Uh...
- Arlen Hird?
788
00:46:13,268 --> 00:46:16,069
Yes, yes. Arlen Hird.
789
00:46:16,071 --> 00:46:19,406
- Uh, I didn't know Dmytryk at all.
- I'm a commissar now.
790
00:46:19,408 --> 00:46:22,243
Ian McLellan Hunter.
791
00:46:22,245 --> 00:46:25,212
And, uh...
792
00:46:25,214 --> 00:46:28,181
Dalton...
793
00:46:28,183 --> 00:46:30,317
Trumbo.
794
00:46:30,319 --> 00:46:34,087
- Thank you, Mr. Robinson.
- Thank you, sir.
795
00:46:34,089 --> 00:46:36,656
Mr. Chairman, I have
no further questions.
796
00:46:36,658 --> 00:46:40,060
Snitch like that in here,
797
00:46:40,062 --> 00:46:43,665
you end up fucking dead.
798
00:46:53,609 --> 00:46:56,310
Eddie ought to go back to
work. He did what he had to.
799
00:46:56,312 --> 00:46:59,179
No, no, he did what he was forced to do.
800
00:46:59,181 --> 00:47:02,017
Well, the point is, he did it.
801
00:47:03,118 --> 00:47:06,319
Brave men and boys are fighting
this battle against communism.
802
00:47:06,321 --> 00:47:10,024
They are sacrificing in
ways we can't even imagine.
803
00:47:10,026 --> 00:47:12,560
And you wanna talk about
some asshole's movie career?
804
00:47:12,562 --> 00:47:15,663
I'd see Eddie Robinson
and everyone like him dead
805
00:47:15,665 --> 00:47:19,100
if it'd bring back one
boy from Korea, just one.
806
00:47:19,102 --> 00:47:20,768
So what are you saying?
807
00:47:20,770 --> 00:47:23,170
Guys like Eddie cooperate and get nothing?
808
00:47:23,172 --> 00:47:25,239
That isn't right.
809
00:47:25,241 --> 00:47:26,741
Careful, Duke.
810
00:47:26,743 --> 00:47:29,044
Or what, Hedda?
811
00:47:30,446 --> 00:47:34,214
If I'm not careful, what?
812
00:47:34,216 --> 00:47:37,417
I had no idea you were such a softy.
813
00:47:37,419 --> 00:47:39,687
That's me all right.
814
00:47:39,689 --> 00:47:42,392
All cuddles.
815
00:47:49,098 --> 00:47:51,132
Proud of ya, Eddie.
816
00:47:51,134 --> 00:47:54,368
It wasn't easy, I know, but you did good.
817
00:47:54,370 --> 00:47:56,170
Thanks, Duke.
818
00:47:56,172 --> 00:48:00,076
I'm gonna call the studios.
The offers will pour in.
819
00:48:05,415 --> 00:48:07,684
Sure.
820
00:48:10,486 --> 00:48:12,722
Thanks.
821
00:48:22,131 --> 00:48:25,399
One of the greatest peacetime spy
dramas in the nations's history
822
00:48:25,401 --> 00:48:27,201
reaches its climax,
823
00:48:27,203 --> 00:48:30,071
as Julius and Ethel Rosenberg
are sentenced to death
824
00:48:30,073 --> 00:48:33,774
for revealing atomic
secrets to Soviet Russia.
825
00:48:33,776 --> 00:48:36,810
The junior senator from
Wisconsin, Joseph McCarthy,
826
00:48:36,812 --> 00:48:39,813
is ramping up his investigation
into alleged Communists
827
00:48:39,815 --> 00:48:43,484
he believes are infiltrating our
government, our military and our schools.
828
00:48:43,486 --> 00:48:48,355
...because the enemy has been
able to get the traitors and dupes
829
00:48:48,357 --> 00:48:51,391
to do his work within
our government.
830
00:48:51,393 --> 00:48:55,295
One Communist on the
faculty of one university
831
00:48:55,297 --> 00:48:57,397
is one Communist too many.
832
00:48:57,399 --> 00:49:01,737
A man is either loyal
or he's disloyal.
833
00:49:06,142 --> 00:49:08,276
Thank you, Billy.
834
00:49:49,886 --> 00:49:52,155
Mmm.
835
00:50:14,509 --> 00:50:18,411
- They're here! They're here! Dad!
- Dad! They're home!
836
00:50:18,413 --> 00:50:21,781
Dad!
837
00:50:21,783 --> 00:50:24,884
I'm being attacked by giants. Oh!
838
00:50:24,886 --> 00:50:28,321
Ha-ha! What have you beautiful
creatures done with my little ones?
839
00:50:28,323 --> 00:50:32,692
- Christopher. Mitzi.
- Hi, Dad.
840
00:50:32,694 --> 00:50:34,328
My goodness.
841
00:50:34,330 --> 00:50:36,462
Nikola.
842
00:50:36,464 --> 00:50:38,966
- Look at you.
- She got real tall.
843
00:50:38,968 --> 00:50:41,534
What is that? Is that lipstick?
844
00:50:41,536 --> 00:50:44,471
Dad.
845
00:50:44,473 --> 00:50:46,839
Oh, I missed you so much, all of you.
846
00:50:46,841 --> 00:50:48,775
We missed you too, Dad.
847
00:50:48,777 --> 00:50:52,048
Let's go inside. I wanna hear
everything about what you've been up to.
848
00:51:02,792 --> 00:51:05,259
Oh, I'm terribly sor...
849
00:51:05,261 --> 00:51:07,962
Oh, Buddy.
850
00:51:07,964 --> 00:51:11,397
Well, how are you?
851
00:51:11,399 --> 00:51:14,202
I got nothing to say to you.
852
00:51:20,509 --> 00:51:22,676
Looks like prison has given us the plague.
853
00:51:22,678 --> 00:51:26,547
Yeah, well, that Buddy Ross,
he was always an asshole.
854
00:51:26,549 --> 00:51:27,815
Yeah.
855
00:51:27,817 --> 00:51:31,252
He's in trouble too.
Three movies, three flops.
856
00:51:31,254 --> 00:51:33,286
- Oh, really?
- Mm-hmm.
857
00:51:33,288 --> 00:51:35,922
Look at him. He's trying to sell
his soul, but he can't find it.
858
00:51:38,261 --> 00:51:41,295
I just hope he stays afloat long
enough to get the shit sued out of him.
859
00:51:41,297 --> 00:51:43,864
Oh, really? By whom?
860
00:51:43,866 --> 00:51:47,033
- By me and you and all of us.
- Oh, Jesus.
861
00:51:47,035 --> 00:51:48,736
We use their capitalist
system against them.
862
00:51:48,738 --> 00:51:51,304
- In civil court we go after their money.
- No.
863
00:51:51,306 --> 00:51:53,473
- For what they did to us.
- No, no, no.
864
00:51:53,475 --> 00:51:56,442
- We make them swear under oath...
- No, no, no. Christ.
865
00:51:56,444 --> 00:52:00,480
Haven't you spent enough
time in court? I know I have.
866
00:52:00,482 --> 00:52:04,384
- Jesus Christ.
- Well, what else are we supposed to do?
867
00:52:04,386 --> 00:52:09,291
We do the one thing everyone says we can't.
868
00:52:12,361 --> 00:52:15,828
Look, you're a great writer. We make shit.
869
00:52:15,830 --> 00:52:17,797
I don't see it.
870
00:52:17,799 --> 00:52:20,600
Mr. King, I'm a screenwriter.
871
00:52:20,602 --> 00:52:23,069
If I couldn't write shit, I'd starve.
872
00:52:23,071 --> 00:52:25,806
Trumbo, we can't afford you.
873
00:52:25,808 --> 00:52:30,576
Well, how much did you
pay for the script of that?
874
00:52:30,578 --> 00:52:33,648
Bad Men of Tombstone.
875
00:52:35,051 --> 00:52:37,419
Twelve hundred bucks.
876
00:52:38,620 --> 00:52:40,554
All right.
877
00:52:40,556 --> 00:52:43,056
I'll write you a movie for 1,200 then.
878
00:52:43,058 --> 00:52:44,924
And you don't want your name on it.
879
00:52:44,926 --> 00:52:47,527
No, you don't want my name on it.
880
00:52:47,529 --> 00:52:49,362
You got that right.
881
00:52:49,364 --> 00:52:52,766
Especially if you're still,
uh, you know, up to stuff.
882
00:52:52,768 --> 00:52:54,435
Are you?
883
00:52:54,437 --> 00:52:57,437
Perpetually.
884
00:52:57,439 --> 00:52:59,406
Jesus.
885
00:52:59,408 --> 00:53:01,942
You got any ideas?
886
00:53:01,944 --> 00:53:05,045
Well, I just got out of prison.
887
00:53:05,047 --> 00:53:09,449
What about crime? A story of
a gangster's rise and fall.
888
00:53:09,451 --> 00:53:11,018
I've seen that a few times.
889
00:53:11,020 --> 00:53:12,953
Because it always makes money.
890
00:53:12,955 --> 00:53:15,888
All right, when do I get my goods?
891
00:53:15,890 --> 00:53:17,658
Three days.
892
00:53:17,660 --> 00:53:20,527
A hundred-page screenplay in three days?
893
00:53:20,529 --> 00:53:22,029
Are you trying to fuck me?
894
00:53:22,031 --> 00:53:25,098
'Cause if you fuck me, I will fuck you.
895
00:53:25,100 --> 00:53:27,769
Mr. King, I've heard this speech.
896
00:53:28,904 --> 00:53:34,176
It was better in jail.
897
00:54:16,185 --> 00:54:18,451
Are you kidding me with this?
898
00:54:18,453 --> 00:54:21,154
Hymie, get out here!
899
00:54:21,156 --> 00:54:23,190
Hymie! Pay the man!
900
00:54:23,192 --> 00:54:26,192
He's a genius. Beautiful. Mwah.
901
00:54:26,194 --> 00:54:29,929
Wait a minute. Look. We got
Killer in the Swamp.
902
00:54:29,931 --> 00:54:31,799
The best character's the swamp.
903
00:54:31,801 --> 00:54:33,833
Oh, oh. Women in Prison.
904
00:54:33,835 --> 00:54:36,036
Dames fighting in their
underwear. It's perfect.
905
00:54:36,038 --> 00:54:37,837
Except it stinks.
906
00:54:37,839 --> 00:54:40,476
- What else, Hymie?
- Pirates Can't Afford the Ocean.
907
00:54:41,944 --> 00:54:44,678
Fix 'em all. You want more, we got more.
908
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:46,749
Oh, baby!
909
00:54:50,553 --> 00:54:52,618
So, what do you think
of the new neighborhood?
910
00:54:52,620 --> 00:54:54,455
- I like it.
- Yeah, this is nice.
911
00:54:54,457 --> 00:54:56,123
- Yeah, Dad.
- Well...
912
00:54:56,125 --> 00:54:58,625
♪ Lead us lest too
far we wander ♪
913
00:54:58,627 --> 00:55:00,761
♪ Love's sweet voice

914
00:55:00,763 --> 00:55:02,629

00:55:02,631 --> 00:55:04,730
♪ Shine little glow-worm

916
00:55:04,732 --> 00:55:07,067

00:55:08,571 --> 00:55:10,870

- I brought you some lemonade.
- Thank you.
920
00:55:14,210 --> 00:55:15,875
Hard work. You holding up okay?
921
00:55:15,877 --> 00:55:17,880
We're all right. Thank you.
922
00:55:26,020 --> 00:55:27,821
We forgot the towels.
923
00:55:27,823 --> 00:55:30,793
Oh, shoot. Wait for me. Wait for me.
924
00:55:58,152 --> 00:56:01,389
Mitzi. Shh, shh.
925
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:21,308
Well, there are many angry
926
00:56:21,310 --> 00:56:25,279
and ignorant people in the world.
927
00:56:25,281 --> 00:56:29,181
They seem to be breeding in record numbers.
928
00:56:29,183 --> 00:56:34,955
Now, all we can do as a
family is stick together and...
929
00:56:34,957 --> 00:56:37,492
remain vigilant.
930
00:56:51,105 --> 00:56:52,806
The Mouth of Truth.
931
00:56:52,808 --> 00:56:54,908
Legend is that if
you're given to lying,
932
00:56:54,910 --> 00:56:58,645
you put your hand in
there, it'll be bitten off.
933
00:56:58,647 --> 00:57:00,948
Oh, what a hard idea.
934
00:57:00,950 --> 00:57:03,485
Let's see you do it.
935
00:57:08,756 --> 00:57:11,158
Let's see you do it.
936
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,428
Sure.
937
00:57:24,607 --> 00:57:27,575
Hello.
938
00:57:29,377 --> 00:57:32,679
It's a huge hit. Great reviews.
939
00:57:32,681 --> 00:57:35,082
I haven't worked in nine months.
940
00:57:35,084 --> 00:57:37,350
You?
941
00:57:37,352 --> 00:57:39,652
Well, there aren't quite enough zeros
942
00:57:39,654 --> 00:57:41,855
in a King Bros. salary to survive,
943
00:57:41,857 --> 00:57:46,726
but they need scripts like
an army needs toilet paper.
944
00:57:46,728 --> 00:57:50,897
Quality minimum, quantity maximum.
945
00:57:50,899 --> 00:57:55,167
You'd think that when the artistic
ambitions of a movie are nonexistent,
946
00:57:55,169 --> 00:57:57,870
the work would be
tossed off in a week.
947
00:57:57,872 --> 00:58:01,741
But consistently pleasing
two former pinball salesmen
948
00:58:01,743 --> 00:58:04,645
turns out to be a
high hurdle indeed.
949
00:58:04,647 --> 00:58:07,948
And I've become a
stranger in my own house.
950
00:58:07,950 --> 00:58:12,386
Every workweek is seven
days. Every day is 18 hours.
951
00:58:12,388 --> 00:58:16,255
Every minute I'm further behind.
952
00:58:16,257 --> 00:58:18,961
They need five of you.
953
00:58:21,864 --> 00:58:25,297
Okay, the only question
is, can these pinkos write?
954
00:58:25,299 --> 00:58:30,002
Well, the dapper gentleman in the
gray suit is Ian McLellan Hunter.
955
00:58:30,004 --> 00:58:31,437
Guy wrote Roman Holiday.
956
00:58:31,439 --> 00:58:33,205
Guy just got subpoenaed.
957
00:58:33,207 --> 00:58:36,009
Guy just got nominated
for an Academy Award.
958
00:58:36,011 --> 00:58:38,745
Everyone at that table's been nominated.
959
00:58:38,747 --> 00:58:42,281
There's Alvah Bessie and Adrian Scott.
960
00:58:42,283 --> 00:58:44,051
Arlen Hird.
961
00:58:44,053 --> 00:58:48,721
And Ring Laudner Jr. and
Albert Maltz and, uh...
962
00:58:50,158 --> 00:58:54,261
Um, it'll... it'll be like this.
963
00:58:54,263 --> 00:58:56,429
I'll find the writer and work with him.
964
00:58:56,431 --> 00:58:58,732
He'll deliver the script to me.
965
00:58:58,734 --> 00:59:00,366
If it's good, I'll give it to you.
966
00:59:00,368 --> 00:59:03,469
If it needs work, I'll fix it.
967
00:59:03,471 --> 00:59:06,105
No one gets paid until you're happy.
968
00:59:06,107 --> 00:59:10,310
And these writers,
they're... they're all...
969
00:59:10,312 --> 00:59:12,145
I mean, they're all black...
970
00:59:12,147 --> 00:59:16,016
Blacklisted. Jesus,
you're such a chicken-shit.
971
00:59:16,018 --> 00:59:18,118
You know, we're at war with the Communists.
972
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:20,187
- No, we're not.
- It's a new kind of war.
973
00:59:20,189 --> 00:59:22,089
Yeah. If it doesn't exist, very new.
974
00:59:22,091 --> 00:59:24,156
What about the Rosenbergs?
975
00:59:24,158 --> 00:59:26,993
- What about the Rosenbergs?
- They stole the atom bomb.
976
00:59:26,995 --> 00:59:29,462
They didn't steal it off
a fucking camera truck.
977
00:59:29,464 --> 00:59:34,400
So look, we bought a gorilla suit.
978
00:59:34,402 --> 00:59:36,036
We gotta use it.
979
00:59:40,308 --> 00:59:43,944
Oh. Well.
980
00:59:43,946 --> 00:59:48,482
So you had five jobs and now we
got 'em, and now you got none?
981
00:59:48,484 --> 00:59:52,185
Oh, now I'm free to get five
more jobs and five more writers.
982
00:59:52,187 --> 00:59:54,187
And you each get five more jobs
983
00:59:54,189 --> 00:59:56,522
and five more writers and so on.
984
00:59:56,524 --> 00:59:59,125
To keep that going, we have to
write every script in the business.
985
00:59:59,127 --> 01:00:00,893
Oh, Arlen,
986
01:00:00,895 --> 01:00:04,297
what a devious lad.
987
01:00:04,299 --> 01:00:07,067
So, who wants to write a gorilla movie?
988
01:00:07,069 --> 01:00:09,101
Who doesn't?
989
01:00:09,103 --> 01:00:12,172
We now work at midnight
990
01:00:12,174 --> 01:00:14,908
in thick fog...
991
01:00:14,910 --> 01:00:16,945
among strangers.
992
01:00:18,279 --> 01:00:20,045
Not literally.
993
01:00:20,047 --> 01:00:22,382
We're running a family business.
994
01:00:22,384 --> 01:00:25,152
We'll be adding new phone lines,
995
01:00:25,154 --> 01:00:29,255
and when answering, never
say "Trumbo residence."
996
01:00:29,257 --> 01:00:33,460
I'll be writing for various
producers under different names.
997
01:00:33,462 --> 01:00:37,698
Whomever they ask for, you
come find me or take a message.
998
01:00:42,036 --> 01:00:43,804
Hello.
999
01:00:43,806 --> 01:00:45,237
Is John Abbott there?
1000
01:00:45,239 --> 01:00:46,940
No, sir. May I take a message?
1001
01:00:46,942 --> 01:00:49,810
The door must be answered at all hours.
1002
01:00:52,314 --> 01:00:55,851
Got a pickup for Sally Stubblefield.
1003
01:00:58,286 --> 01:01:00,755
Can I get your mom to sign?
1004
01:01:04,593 --> 01:01:06,829
Thank you.
1005
01:01:08,029 --> 01:01:12,299
Dictation, shorthand and
typing will be learned.
1006
01:01:12,301 --> 01:01:16,335
Those of legal age will have one of
the most important jobs imaginable.
1007
01:01:16,337 --> 01:01:18,504
Courier.
1008
01:01:18,506 --> 01:01:21,007
Scripts must be
delivered to producers
1009
01:01:21,009 --> 01:01:23,076
without raising suspicion.
1010
01:01:23,078 --> 01:01:25,911
Any questions, concerns?
1011
01:01:25,913 --> 01:01:27,346
Yes, Nikola.
1012
01:01:27,348 --> 01:01:29,015
- Is there a schedule?
- A what?
1013
01:01:29,017 --> 01:01:31,051
I need to know when I can do homework.
1014
01:01:31,053 --> 01:01:34,353
And I'm part of a fund-raising
committee for Negro voting rights.
1015
01:01:34,355 --> 01:01:37,924
Plus every other Friday we have
meetings for Student Council.
1016
01:01:37,926 --> 01:01:41,228
- I'm... I have to...
- Niki, we'll figure something out, sweetheart.
1017
01:01:41,230 --> 01:01:43,265
Won't we?
1018
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:46,600
And protests continued,
1019
01:01:46,602 --> 01:01:50,971
as the Supreme Court may soon take
up the issue of racial segregation.
1020
01:01:50,973 --> 01:01:53,138
Negroes in Southern towns and cities
1021
01:01:53,140 --> 01:01:55,208
have taken to the
streets in large numbers,
1022
01:01:55,210 --> 01:01:58,645
often under close scrutiny
by local law enforcement.
1023
01:01:58,647 --> 01:02:02,582
There have been unconfirmed reports
of disturbances and rioting.
1024
01:02:02,584 --> 01:02:06,453
But it is not clear if the violence
was initiated by protesters...
1025
01:02:06,455 --> 01:02:09,656
- Nikola!
- or white vigilante groups.
1026
01:02:09,658 --> 01:02:12,424
Beyond the South,
through the nation...
1027
01:02:12,426 --> 01:02:14,627
Well, there you go.
1028
01:02:14,629 --> 01:02:17,163
A few mistakes, not many.
1029
01:02:17,165 --> 01:02:19,901
All right.
1030
01:02:24,506 --> 01:02:27,473
This concludes our program
schedule for today.
1031
01:02:52,634 --> 01:02:56,138
Which one is Graham Tauper?
1032
01:02:57,239 --> 01:02:58,971
Nympho nun.
1033
01:02:58,973 --> 01:03:02,208
- Uh-oh.
- Great job.
1034
01:03:02,210 --> 01:03:05,612
Uh, Elwood Carr, Murder
at the Circus.
1035
01:03:05,614 --> 01:03:07,480
It needs work. I knew the clown did it.
1036
01:03:07,482 --> 01:03:10,417
It's always the clown.
1037
01:03:10,419 --> 01:03:14,286
- So you, you are The Alien and the Farm Girl.
- Yeah.
1038
01:03:14,288 --> 01:03:18,190
So you wrote the alien talking
about the rights of the worker.
1039
01:03:18,192 --> 01:03:21,094
The pathology of capitalism.
1040
01:03:21,096 --> 01:03:24,364
The complacency of the bourgeoisie.
1041
01:03:24,366 --> 01:03:26,966
I don't even know what it
is, and I fucking hate it.
1042
01:03:26,968 --> 01:03:28,701
Well, the idea was to... to use the...
1043
01:03:28,703 --> 01:03:32,504
I paid you to write a script
about a guy with a giant bug head
1044
01:03:32,506 --> 01:03:35,107
shtupping a girl in a hayloft,
1045
01:03:35,109 --> 01:03:40,746
and you write shit that's gonna
get me subpoenaed and stinks!
1046
01:03:40,748 --> 01:03:42,716
Fix it!
1047
01:03:42,718 --> 01:03:44,750
Ah, fuck Frank King.
1048
01:03:44,752 --> 01:03:48,187
I said until he's happy, I'd rewrite it.
1049
01:03:48,189 --> 01:03:51,524
So you're gonna stay up with
that all night, with that crap.
1050
01:03:51,526 --> 01:03:55,228
For what? To get it to his high
literary and political standards?
1051
01:03:55,230 --> 01:03:59,165
Well, it shouldn't be to
anyone's political standards.
1052
01:03:59,167 --> 01:04:02,101
It's The Alien and the Farm
Girl, for Christ's sake.
1053
01:04:02,103 --> 01:04:04,703
- What the hell were you thinking?
- I was thinking.
1054
01:04:04,705 --> 01:04:08,341
That's why I'm a writer.
To say things that matter.
1055
01:04:08,343 --> 01:04:13,545
Remember that? I was a reporter.
I was nominated for a Pulitzer.
1056
01:04:13,547 --> 01:04:15,214
I fought in Spain.
1057
01:04:15,216 --> 01:04:17,283
And I know Ernest Hemingway.
1058
01:04:17,285 --> 01:04:20,120
- I actually... I know him.
- Oh, bullshit.
1059
01:04:20,122 --> 01:04:23,522
And he knows me. If I
walk into a bar in Paris...
1060
01:04:23,524 --> 01:04:26,292
Maybe not my name, but
he'll... I'll get a wave.
1061
01:04:26,294 --> 01:04:27,794
Yeah.
1062
01:04:27,796 --> 01:04:30,730
You... You won the
National fucking Book Award.
1063
01:04:30,732 --> 01:04:33,968
I mean, what are we doing?
1064
01:04:37,439 --> 01:04:39,605
Okay, so the alien.
1065
01:04:39,607 --> 01:04:42,275
- The alien impregnates the farm girl.
- Right.
1066
01:04:42,277 --> 01:04:45,145
Why? Because he wants
to, uh, inseminate her
1067
01:04:45,147 --> 01:04:47,647
- and propagate a new species on earth and take over?
- No.
1068
01:04:47,649 --> 01:04:51,451
Because she reminds him
of the girl he left behind.
1069
01:04:51,453 --> 01:04:55,587
But he's got a bug head. His girlfriend's
probably got a bug head back home.
1070
01:04:55,589 --> 01:04:59,792
You don't get hung up on the looks of
someone. He's falling in love with her.
1071
01:04:59,794 --> 01:05:01,361
Uh, okay.
1072
01:05:01,363 --> 01:05:03,596
You're overthinking.
1073
01:05:08,469 --> 01:05:10,303
- Are you all right?
- Yeah.
1074
01:05:10,305 --> 01:05:14,276
- You want to do this later?
- No. Go, please.
1075
01:05:16,678 --> 01:05:18,611
All right.
1076
01:05:18,613 --> 01:05:22,382
I mean, do you ever... do you
ever miss writing something...
1077
01:05:22,384 --> 01:05:25,317
Forget great. Just good?
1078
01:05:25,319 --> 01:05:28,855
I mean, you must have ideas still, right?
1079
01:05:28,857 --> 01:05:30,757
I've got a few.
1080
01:05:30,759 --> 01:05:34,426
There's one that won't go away.
1081
01:05:34,428 --> 01:05:38,598
Cleo and I are in Mexico.
1082
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:40,266
At a bullfight. Years ago.
1083
01:05:40,268 --> 01:05:42,734
And the bull dies and, uh,
1084
01:05:42,736 --> 01:05:47,107
thousands of people just cheering.
1085
01:05:47,109 --> 01:05:48,841
Three weren't.
1086
01:05:48,843 --> 01:05:52,679
Cleo, me and this young boy,
1087
01:05:52,681 --> 01:05:55,815
down front,
1088
01:05:55,817 --> 01:05:58,285
crying.
1089
01:06:00,122 --> 01:06:02,791
Always wondered why.
1090
01:06:04,125 --> 01:06:07,061
Well, you write it and you'll know.
1091
01:06:08,596 --> 01:06:11,196
But please promise me,
1092
01:06:11,198 --> 01:06:14,400
not for Frank fucking King.
1093
01:06:14,402 --> 01:06:17,536
Please.
1094
01:06:17,538 --> 01:06:19,339
To present the writing awards,
1095
01:06:19,341 --> 01:06:21,274
here is an actor who also reads.
1096
01:06:21,276 --> 01:06:26,212
- Mr. Kirk Douglas.
- Niki, hurry!
1097
01:06:26,214 --> 01:06:29,149
- Who's doing it?
- Kirk Douglas!
1098
01:06:29,151 --> 01:06:31,952
I'm coming! I'm coming!
1099
01:06:34,622 --> 01:06:36,957
The envelope.
1100
01:06:38,727 --> 01:06:44,531
And the Oscar goes to Roman
Holiday, by Ian McLellan Hunter.
1101
01:06:44,533 --> 01:06:48,868
Yes! That's you, Dad! That's you.
1102
01:06:48,870 --> 01:06:52,908
Dad, that is fantastic!
1103
01:06:55,544 --> 01:06:58,611
This is accepted on behalf
of Ian McLellan Hunter.
1104
01:06:58,613 --> 01:07:01,550
So do we get to be happy now?
1105
01:07:12,194 --> 01:07:14,761
I don't want it.
1106
01:07:14,763 --> 01:07:16,862
Well, I don't want it.
1107
01:07:16,864 --> 01:07:19,699
Your name's on it.
1108
01:07:19,701 --> 01:07:23,205
- You wrote it.
- They gave it to you.
1109
01:07:24,872 --> 01:07:27,508
And it's done me wonders.
1110
01:07:28,643 --> 01:07:30,310
Here's the gorilla script.
1111
01:07:31,913 --> 01:07:33,580
- Hey, Dad.
- Ah?
1112
01:07:33,582 --> 01:07:36,915
- Phone for you.
- For which name?
1113
01:07:36,917 --> 01:07:39,351
No, you. Some guy named Buddy Ross.
1114
01:07:41,823 --> 01:07:45,525
So, is the rumor true?
1115
01:07:45,527 --> 01:07:47,495
You wrote Roman Holiday?
1116
01:07:49,897 --> 01:07:52,598
What can I do for you, Buddy?
1117
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:54,433
My movies have all bombed.
1118
01:07:54,435 --> 01:07:56,869
Dug me into a hole.
1119
01:07:56,871 --> 01:07:59,838
I finally got something going. Classy.
1120
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:02,008
Three big stars.
1121
01:08:02,010 --> 01:08:03,508
The script...
1122
01:08:05,447 --> 01:08:08,347
Script... There is no script.
1123
01:08:08,349 --> 01:08:11,284
I got 11 writers who fucked me, and
now the actors are gonna pull out.
1124
01:08:11,286 --> 01:08:15,454
And if they do, I... I lose everything.
1125
01:08:15,456 --> 01:08:17,690
When do you shoot?
1126
01:08:17,692 --> 01:08:20,259
Ten days.
1127
01:08:20,261 --> 01:08:22,263
Is there anything?
1128
01:08:27,902 --> 01:08:31,036
There'd be no credit, obviously.
1129
01:08:31,038 --> 01:08:33,441
I can't pay you till we start shooting.
1130
01:08:37,278 --> 01:08:40,512
I wouldn't blame you
if you spit in my face.
1131
01:08:40,514 --> 01:08:43,883
But we did good stuff back then.
1132
01:08:43,885 --> 01:08:46,421
We really did.
1133
01:08:49,690 --> 01:08:51,593
Please.
1134
01:08:53,795 --> 01:08:58,030
I owe the King brothers a rewrite,
1135
01:08:58,032 --> 01:09:01,066
and I can't do both.
1136
01:09:01,068 --> 01:09:04,936
Here it is. I need you to take over.
1137
01:09:04,938 --> 01:09:06,873
So you can help that great guy Buddy Ross.
1138
01:09:06,875 --> 01:09:10,008
Mm-mmm. So we can keep
tearing down the blacklist.
1139
01:09:10,010 --> 01:09:12,411
Oh, Jesus, here we go.
1140
01:09:12,413 --> 01:09:15,580
This is going to be a very big movie,
and if Buddy gets a good script...
1141
01:09:15,582 --> 01:09:17,984
- Which you're gonna give him.
- Which I am going to sell him.
1142
01:09:17,986 --> 01:09:20,619
For money. That's why we did all
of this, right, was for the money.
1143
01:09:20,621 --> 01:09:23,021
Why can you not see this?
1144
01:09:23,023 --> 01:09:27,427
If we get one big movie, we
can get all the big movies.
1145
01:09:27,429 --> 01:09:29,695
And then this whole
rotten thing could collapse
1146
01:09:29,697 --> 01:09:33,499
on the sheer irony that every
unemployable writer is employed.
1147
01:09:33,501 --> 01:09:37,904
Jesus Christ. Do you have to say everything
like it's going to be chiseled into a rock?
1148
01:09:37,906 --> 01:09:41,841
- I'm not gonna help you help Buddy Ross!
- God's sake!
1149
01:09:41,843 --> 01:09:46,044
- You are against every solid idea that comes up.
- No, I-I... Let's do something!
1150
01:09:46,046 --> 01:09:47,847
These fuckers did things!
1151
01:09:47,849 --> 01:09:51,049
- We should be suing that cockroach into the ground...
- Holy shit!
1152
01:09:51,051 --> 01:09:53,418
- along with those congressmen.
- There's an idea.
1153
01:09:53,420 --> 01:09:55,655
- Yes, and the producers! Yes, and the studios!
- Very good one.
1154
01:09:55,657 --> 01:09:58,591
- We should sue them!
- Oh, yes, brilliant! Keep losing.
1155
01:09:58,593 --> 01:10:00,392
Give all your money away to lawyers!
1156
01:10:00,394 --> 01:10:02,928
- I've rather lose for the right reasons.
- Why?
1157
01:10:02,930 --> 01:10:05,397
It's still losing.
1158
01:10:05,399 --> 01:10:08,433
You lose. I lose.
1159
01:10:08,435 --> 01:10:10,369
We all lose!
1160
01:10:10,371 --> 01:10:12,437
Don't you see that?
1161
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:15,941
And the whole goddamn
country stays scared and dead.
1162
01:10:15,943 --> 01:10:18,878
Well, you really think you can
go on living like this forever?
1163
01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:21,549
Well, I'm not gonna have to.
1164
01:10:23,718 --> 01:10:27,453
Arlen, we can do this.
1165
01:10:27,455 --> 01:10:28,987
We can beat them.
1166
01:10:28,989 --> 01:10:31,156
- We can win!
- I don't care if I win.
1167
01:10:31,158 --> 01:10:33,092
Bullshit! Everybody wants to win.
1168
01:10:33,094 --> 01:10:35,962
No, you want to win. I
want to change things.
1169
01:10:35,964 --> 01:10:38,498
I want to win so
that I can change things.
1170
01:10:38,500 --> 01:10:42,000
No, you want to win so that you can get
an Oscar with your name on it this time.
1171
01:10:42,002 --> 01:10:45,771
And so you can get more money that you
burn through writing shit for idiots!
1172
01:10:45,773 --> 01:10:49,107
Why do I have to explain everything
to you like you're a fucking child?
1173
01:10:49,109 --> 01:10:51,710
- You don't have to. You really don't have to.
- Piss off!
1174
01:10:51,712 --> 01:10:54,480
You do what you do and that's fine for you.
1175
01:10:54,482 --> 01:10:56,949
But don't pretend that you
getting your career back
1176
01:10:56,951 --> 01:10:59,886
is part of some great
crusade for mankind, okay?
1177
01:10:59,888 --> 01:11:04,957
Doing this for everyone.
1178
01:11:04,959 --> 01:11:07,327
Arlen...
1179
01:11:19,706 --> 01:11:22,811
Fucking idiot.
1180
01:12:04,486 --> 01:12:08,620

1181
01:12:08,622 --> 01:12:13,758

Make a wish.
1184
01:12:20,635 --> 01:12:23,936
Ah. I got it.
1185
01:12:23,938 --> 01:12:26,539
Sweet 16!
1186
01:12:26,541 --> 01:12:28,039
Get together with your sister.
1187
01:12:28,041 --> 01:12:29,241
Chris, get in there.
1188
01:12:29,243 --> 01:12:31,811
Ah. Thank you.
1189
01:12:31,813 --> 01:12:35,615
- Are you sure we shouldn't go knock?
- I'm sure.
1190
01:12:35,617 --> 01:12:38,985
- He can't take five minutes?
- Nope.
1191
01:12:38,987 --> 01:12:41,721
- Two minutes?
- Niki.
1192
01:12:41,723 --> 01:12:44,492
One minute.
1193
01:12:48,229 --> 01:12:49,962
Chris, would you please
get the good plates?
1194
01:12:49,964 --> 01:12:51,597
- Yes, ma'am.
- Thank you.
1195
01:12:55,836 --> 01:12:58,937
- Dad?
- Brady himself marches.
1196
01:12:58,939 --> 01:13:02,307
- Dad?
- Go away!
1197
01:13:02,309 --> 01:13:04,043
We're having birthday cake.
1198
01:13:04,045 --> 01:13:07,812
When you hear me working, you don't knock!
1199
01:13:07,814 --> 01:13:09,781
But it's my birthday.
1200
01:13:09,783 --> 01:13:12,183
You don't knock! Ever!
1201
01:13:12,185 --> 01:13:14,920
So the house is on fire,
you don't want to know?
1202
01:13:14,922 --> 01:13:18,857
I work in a bathtub surrounded by water.
1203
01:13:18,859 --> 01:13:22,794
So I'm fairly certain that even if
the whole goddamn country was on fire
1204
01:13:22,796 --> 01:13:26,332
that I could still function as
this family's personal slave.
1205
01:13:26,334 --> 01:13:33,338
And all I ask is not to be interrupted for
every little slice of fucking birthday cake!
1206
01:13:33,340 --> 01:13:36,609
What? It's ridiculous!
1207
01:13:36,611 --> 01:13:38,945
Now I've lost my place.
1208
01:13:38,947 --> 01:13:41,482
Christ's sake!
1209
01:13:45,153 --> 01:13:49,688
Sure. Maybe you, uh, get that
long happy life we all want.
1210
01:13:49,690 --> 01:13:52,624
But your eyes never
really close again.
1211
01:13:52,626 --> 01:13:56,861
'Cause you spend that life scared
of every noise in the dark.
1212
01:13:56,863 --> 01:13:59,198
We both do.
1213
01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:01,299
I can't let you do this, Rocco.
1214
01:14:01,301 --> 01:14:04,803
I'll just have to
convince you I'm right.
1215
01:14:16,783 --> 01:14:21,789
After all, kid, what
are friends for?
1216
01:14:37,639 --> 01:14:41,106
Don't defend him, okay?
He knows he's wrong.
1217
01:14:41,108 --> 01:14:43,342
He hasn't even apologized.
1218
01:14:43,344 --> 01:14:45,645
I think you surprised him.
1219
01:14:45,647 --> 01:14:48,013
He's not used to seeing
another adult in the house.
1220
01:14:48,015 --> 01:14:50,383
He has to be right all the time.
1221
01:14:50,385 --> 01:14:52,785
How do you stand it?
1222
01:14:52,787 --> 01:14:55,523
Well, it's challenging
sometimes, especially lately.
1223
01:14:57,058 --> 01:14:59,357
Hey. Why don't you come downstairs with me.
1224
01:14:59,359 --> 01:15:01,829
I wanna show you something.
1225
01:15:07,868 --> 01:15:10,370
You see my gloves?
1226
01:15:11,438 --> 01:15:13,907
Thank you.
1227
01:15:23,216 --> 01:15:26,420
Do you imagine that's his head?
1228
01:15:29,256 --> 01:15:32,860
No. But you can.
1229
01:15:47,140 --> 01:15:50,209
Niki, is that the script already?
1230
01:15:50,211 --> 01:15:51,944
Fantastic.
1231
01:15:51,946 --> 01:15:54,648
Tell your dad that...
1232
01:16:17,170 --> 01:16:21,140
Oh, hello. Um, I'm looking for Arlen Hird.
1233
01:16:21,142 --> 01:16:23,909
Mr. Trumbo, it's Andrew.
1234
01:16:23,911 --> 01:16:28,246
Good God! Look at... Look at you!
1235
01:16:28,248 --> 01:16:32,084
Wow. Well, I'm certain your father
1236
01:16:32,086 --> 01:16:34,753
has told you some nasty things about me,
1237
01:16:34,755 --> 01:16:38,891
but I want to assure you they're all true.
1238
01:16:38,893 --> 01:16:41,996
Is, uh... Is he home?
1239
01:16:43,130 --> 01:16:45,632
I'm sorry. I thought you knew.
1240
01:17:08,022 --> 01:17:10,191
Andrew.
1241
01:17:11,259 --> 01:17:13,359
Joshua.
1242
01:17:13,361 --> 01:17:16,829
My dad left something for you.
1243
01:17:16,831 --> 01:17:21,068
A record. Money that he owed
you and some other people.
1244
01:17:24,037 --> 01:17:26,740
I'm sorry. I wish we could pay you back.
1245
01:17:29,076 --> 01:17:32,043
Andrew, no.
1246
01:17:32,045 --> 01:17:34,548
I owed him.
1247
01:17:37,218 --> 01:17:39,821
The debts are all mine.
1248
01:17:41,922 --> 01:17:44,058
Thank you.
1249
01:18:05,212 --> 01:18:07,079
Well...
1250
01:18:07,081 --> 01:18:09,082
Hello, Eddie.
1251
01:18:11,853 --> 01:18:14,555
This is a bit of a surprise.
1252
01:18:18,992 --> 01:18:20,993
What can I do for you?
1253
01:18:20,995 --> 01:18:22,494
Arlen died.
1254
01:18:22,496 --> 01:18:25,265
I heard. I was on location.
1255
01:18:30,071 --> 01:18:33,472
This is the money you gave
us for the defense fund.
1256
01:18:33,474 --> 01:18:35,874
It's everything that we
owe you, Arlen included.
1257
01:18:35,876 --> 01:18:38,244
No, no. That was a gift.
1258
01:18:38,246 --> 01:18:40,881
We'd like it off our books.
1259
01:18:42,183 --> 01:18:45,586
What is this supposed to
be, some kind of message?
1260
01:18:46,621 --> 01:18:50,558
What you and Arlen and the great
Hollywood 10 all think of me.
1261
01:18:55,496 --> 01:18:58,799
Fine. Fine. But first you're gonna listen.
1262
01:19:02,536 --> 01:19:05,273
After you went to jail,
1263
01:19:07,140 --> 01:19:10,177
I didn't work for a year.
1264
01:19:11,578 --> 01:19:14,980
No offers, not even an audition.
1265
01:19:14,982 --> 01:19:17,415
People would see me,
1266
01:19:17,417 --> 01:19:19,218
cross the street.
1267
01:19:19,220 --> 01:19:22,487
People I loved.
1268
01:19:22,489 --> 01:19:25,226
People I made rich.
1269
01:19:26,394 --> 01:19:30,396
I sat in front of that committee.
Why? I didn't do anything.
1270
01:19:30,398 --> 01:19:34,633
None of us did anything.
We were all stupid babies,
1271
01:19:34,635 --> 01:19:38,670
with no business in any of it.
1272
01:19:38,672 --> 01:19:41,142
I just wanted my life back.
1273
01:19:42,276 --> 01:19:46,177
They had every name.
Yours, Arlen's, everybody's.
1274
01:19:46,179 --> 01:19:50,481
I-I didn't give them anything
they didn't already have.
1275
01:19:50,483 --> 01:19:55,320
I ended it, is all. I just... I ended it!
1276
01:19:55,322 --> 01:19:57,722
Oh, Eddie.
1277
01:19:57,724 --> 01:20:01,293
You don't end something like this
1278
01:20:01,295 --> 01:20:05,364
by giving them what they
have no right to ask.
1279
01:20:05,366 --> 01:20:09,468
Well, you're gonna tell me
how I should have handled it?
1280
01:20:09,470 --> 01:20:12,306
Like you handled Congress?
1281
01:20:13,407 --> 01:20:17,142
- So you're saying that you're proud of what you did?
- Proud?
1282
01:20:17,144 --> 01:20:20,012
Who the hell gets to be proud?
1283
01:20:20,014 --> 01:20:21,547
- You. You do.
- Shit.
1284
01:20:21,549 --> 01:20:23,582
You, with your fake names and your fronts.
1285
01:20:23,584 --> 01:20:25,249
You've got all the work you want.
1286
01:20:25,251 --> 01:20:28,087
I gotta go out in the world every day.
1287
01:20:28,089 --> 01:20:30,291
This is my work.
1288
01:20:32,059 --> 01:20:34,759
I've got nobody else to be.
1289
01:20:34,761 --> 01:20:37,029
I did what I had to.
1290
01:20:37,031 --> 01:20:40,466
You did what you wanted, Eddie.
1291
01:20:40,468 --> 01:20:43,768
And you did it for more.
1292
01:20:43,770 --> 01:20:46,338
More movies, more money,
1293
01:20:46,340 --> 01:20:50,945
more... dead bullshit on your walls.
1294
01:20:58,452 --> 01:21:02,053
What I did, I did, but...
1295
01:21:02,055 --> 01:21:05,959
did you ever wonder how many
years you hacked off Arlen's life?
1296
01:21:07,193 --> 01:21:11,364
To show the world what
a rebel genius you are?
1297
01:21:15,269 --> 01:21:17,972
You live with that!
1298
01:21:29,817 --> 01:21:33,252
Drinking alone?
1299
01:21:33,254 --> 01:21:35,553
Preferably.
1300
01:21:35,555 --> 01:21:38,257
And what are you up to these days?
1301
01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:44,128
You know, Hedda, another one of
these and I just may tell you.
1302
01:21:44,130 --> 01:21:46,565
Oh, then I'm buying.
1303
01:21:46,567 --> 01:21:48,232
Usual. Same again.
1304
01:21:48,234 --> 01:21:50,468
Yes, Miss Hopper.
1305
01:21:50,470 --> 01:21:53,840
Oh, come on. I hear the rumors.
1306
01:21:55,242 --> 01:21:59,578
Show me you're still in the
game, fighting the good fight.
1307
01:21:59,580 --> 01:22:01,746
Come on. Rub my face in it.
1308
01:22:01,748 --> 01:22:06,019
Whisper a movie you've written in
secret. Maybe I've even heard of it.
1309
01:22:07,487 --> 01:22:09,288
Maybe you have.
1310
01:22:09,290 --> 01:22:12,223
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
I'm filming. It's crazy.
1311
01:22:12,225 --> 01:22:15,795
Buddy, do you know Dalton Trumbo?
1312
01:22:18,198 --> 01:22:21,633
Yes, I... I believe we
have worked together before.
1313
01:22:21,635 --> 01:22:23,368
What was it? Was it MGM?
1314
01:22:23,370 --> 01:22:27,106
A million years ago. Nice
to see you again, Buddy.
1315
01:22:27,108 --> 01:22:28,807
I hear your new script's in trouble.
1316
01:22:28,809 --> 01:22:30,609
Maybe you should hire Dalton.
1317
01:22:30,611 --> 01:22:33,779
He used to be pretty good, and
price-wise, he'd be bargain-basement.
1318
01:22:33,781 --> 01:22:37,885
Not that you'd ever do it.
Not after Buddy named names.
1319
01:22:39,153 --> 01:22:41,820
Oh, you didn't know?
1320
01:22:41,822 --> 01:22:43,888
Word was he had hired
someone he shouldn't have.
1321
01:22:43,890 --> 01:22:47,125
So he got subpoenaed. He had to testify.
1322
01:22:47,127 --> 01:22:49,628
Closed session. No press. Makes it easier.
1323
01:22:49,630 --> 01:22:52,166
So he named you, of course.
1324
01:22:53,567 --> 01:22:55,801
Now he's been cleared.
Gets to make his movie.
1325
01:22:55,803 --> 01:22:59,372
In a way, thanks to you.
1326
01:23:04,211 --> 01:23:07,812
Drink, Buddy? You look as if you need one.
1327
01:23:07,814 --> 01:23:10,149
Can you believe it?
1328
01:23:10,151 --> 01:23:12,784
Democrats voting for segregation.
1329
01:23:12,786 --> 01:23:14,919
Oh, the Southern Dixiecrats.
1330
01:23:14,921 --> 01:23:17,556
We started a petition
for total integration.
1331
01:23:17,558 --> 01:23:20,258
There it is. I already have
over a thousand signatures.
1332
01:23:20,260 --> 01:23:23,861
Well, I'd be happy to
make it a thousand and one.
1333
01:23:23,863 --> 01:23:25,864
And this is the new draft
1334
01:23:25,866 --> 01:23:30,569
that needs to be delivered
to Hymie King in Agoura.
1335
01:23:30,571 --> 01:23:32,905
Wait, Agoura? I thought
the Kings were in Hollywood.
1336
01:23:32,907 --> 01:23:34,839
Oh, no, no, no. These are the rewrites.
1337
01:23:34,841 --> 01:23:37,942
They're to be shot tonight, so Hymie
needs them on the set right away.
1338
01:23:37,944 --> 01:23:41,579
- Agoura's 40 miles.
- Yes, I'm sure Chris knows that by now.
1339
01:23:41,581 --> 01:23:44,549
Well, he can't.
1340
01:23:44,551 --> 01:23:46,618
- I'm sorry?
- He has a date.
1341
01:23:46,620 --> 01:23:50,254
- He's taking her to a movie.
- Well, all right.
1342
01:23:50,256 --> 01:23:53,792
Then, Nikola, you'll deliver the draft.
1343
01:23:53,794 --> 01:23:56,895
- I have a protest.
- Since when do protests have hard start times?
1344
01:23:56,897 --> 01:23:59,530
- I'll take it.
- Nikola will take it.
1345
01:23:59,532 --> 01:24:02,234
I said I can't.
1346
01:24:02,236 --> 01:24:04,669
- Young lady, you will.
- This is important.
1347
01:24:04,671 --> 01:24:07,573
- So is this.
- This is important to me.
1348
01:24:07,575 --> 01:24:11,378
And the date's important to Chris.
So figure something else out.
1349
01:24:20,420 --> 01:24:22,620
Move on! He needs those now!
1350
01:24:35,669 --> 01:24:38,005
Oh, honey.
1351
01:24:39,273 --> 01:24:43,277
She hasn't been gone that long,
and it's really not that late.
1352
01:24:46,346 --> 01:24:50,217
You know, this is a blatant
attempt to manipulate worry.
1353
01:24:55,788 --> 01:24:58,990
Do you know when I realized
that I had to leave Hal?
1354
01:24:58,992 --> 01:25:01,426
Hal? Hal who?
1355
01:25:01,428 --> 01:25:03,262
My first husband, Hal.
1356
01:25:03,264 --> 01:25:06,267
Jesus, take the wheel.
1357
01:25:07,401 --> 01:25:09,968
It was my wedding night.
1358
01:25:09,970 --> 01:25:12,570
My first wedding night with Hal.
1359
01:25:12,572 --> 01:25:15,574
If we're going to go back in
time to that unholy coupling,
1360
01:25:15,576 --> 01:25:18,744
then I have a medical obligation to drink.
1361
01:25:18,746 --> 01:25:21,713
I saw this was not a man
I could have children with.
1362
01:25:21,715 --> 01:25:23,714
Well, thank God for that.
1363
01:25:23,716 --> 01:25:27,686
He'd bully me... and them.
1364
01:25:27,688 --> 01:25:31,589
And that we'd wind up like every
miserable family since forever.
1365
01:25:31,591 --> 01:25:34,026
But you...
1366
01:25:34,028 --> 01:25:37,061
I knew you would never be like that.
1367
01:25:37,063 --> 01:25:40,298
That whatever happened out there,
1368
01:25:40,300 --> 01:25:44,569
all that would matter,
really matter, was us.
1369
01:25:44,571 --> 01:25:49,441
- Well, all that matters is us.
- No.
1370
01:25:49,443 --> 01:25:52,212
- Not anymore.
- Well...
1371
01:25:53,346 --> 01:25:56,714
- You have no idea what you could lose.
- Oh, please.
1372
01:25:56,716 --> 01:26:00,852
My... My career and the
First Amendment, our country.
1373
01:26:00,854 --> 01:26:03,487
- Am I missing anything?
- Us.
1374
01:26:03,489 --> 01:26:05,990
- You're losing us.
- Oh!
1375
01:26:05,992 --> 01:26:10,695
Since prison, you don't talk or ask.
1376
01:26:10,697 --> 01:26:13,097
You just snap, bark.
1377
01:26:13,099 --> 01:26:15,933
I keep waiting for you to start
pounding the dinner table with a gavel.
1378
01:26:15,935 --> 01:26:20,004
So in addition to being
a pariah out in the world,
1379
01:26:20,006 --> 01:26:22,708
I also have the supreme joy
1380
01:26:22,710 --> 01:26:25,009
- of battling insurrection in my own home...
- Battling insurrection?
1381
01:26:25,011 --> 01:26:29,580
where these 10 fingers literally
clothe and feed and shelter us.
1382
01:26:29,582 --> 01:26:31,783
- This isn't just happening to you!
- Jesus.
1383
01:26:31,785 --> 01:26:33,752
We all hurt.
1384
01:26:33,754 --> 01:26:36,987
Niki, me, your friends!
1385
01:26:36,989 --> 01:26:39,458
Friends? What... What friends?
1386
01:26:39,460 --> 01:26:42,427
Who the hell has the luxury of friends?
1387
01:26:42,429 --> 01:26:44,695
I've got allies and enemies.
1388
01:26:44,697 --> 01:26:48,967
- There's no room for anything else.
- We know.
1389
01:26:48,969 --> 01:26:53,938
Good. Then this discussion ends.
1390
01:26:53,940 --> 01:26:57,678
This isn't a discussion. It's a fight.
1391
01:26:58,979 --> 01:27:03,582
I will not let our children
be raised by a bully.
1392
01:27:05,685 --> 01:27:07,485
Hey.
1393
01:27:19,599 --> 01:27:22,168
- Be right back.
- All right.
1394
01:27:32,746 --> 01:27:35,179
I didn't want to fight
in front of my friends,
1395
01:27:35,181 --> 01:27:38,150
but I'm not going home.
1396
01:27:38,152 --> 01:27:41,255
I didn't come here to fight.
1397
01:27:45,425 --> 01:27:50,795
You know, your mother is
a quiet person, normally.
1398
01:27:50,797 --> 01:27:55,734
The effect of which is that she
can actually make me hear myself.
1399
01:27:55,736 --> 01:27:58,570
It's extraordinary.
1400
01:27:58,572 --> 01:28:03,909
Lately, it's not a sound I like much.
1401
01:28:03,911 --> 01:28:08,914
Mostly because what I hear is just how...
1402
01:28:08,916 --> 01:28:12,786
how afraid I am.
1403
01:28:14,854 --> 01:28:19,024
Afraid that I'm scarring you.
1404
01:28:19,026 --> 01:28:21,762
All of you.
1405
01:28:24,898 --> 01:28:28,033
And what if it's all for nothing?
1406
01:28:28,035 --> 01:28:30,370
What then?
1407
01:28:32,538 --> 01:28:34,673
Well...
1408
01:28:34,675 --> 01:28:38,312
So I fight.
1409
01:28:39,479 --> 01:28:42,179
It's all I know how to do anymore.
1410
01:28:42,181 --> 01:28:48,421
Any... I mean, it's just... just
rage at anyone who gets in my way.
1411
01:28:50,189 --> 01:28:54,124
But you... have never
1412
01:28:54,126 --> 01:28:55,793
been in my way, Nikola.
1413
01:28:55,795 --> 01:28:58,963
Not once.
1414
01:28:58,965 --> 01:29:02,633
It's crazy how mad you make me.
1415
01:29:02,635 --> 01:29:07,640
Since all I ever wanted
was to be just like you.
1416
01:29:10,676 --> 01:29:15,281
Well, I'm afraid to say
that you've succeeded.
1417
01:29:19,051 --> 01:29:21,018
We know, okay?
1418
01:29:21,020 --> 01:29:23,954
It's a small town. The
gossip's always true.
1419
01:29:23,956 --> 01:29:26,924
Fire Dalton Trumbo, and the rest of them,
1420
01:29:26,926 --> 01:29:29,127
or you got pickets, headlines and boycotts.
1421
01:29:29,129 --> 01:29:31,128
We will put you right out of business.
1422
01:29:31,130 --> 01:29:33,632
We?
1423
01:29:33,634 --> 01:29:37,535
The Motion Picture Alliance for
the Preservation of American Ideals.
1424
01:29:37,537 --> 01:29:39,870
Me and Ronald Reagan, Hedda Hopper.
1425
01:29:39,872 --> 01:29:42,574
Guilds, studio heads, John Wayne.
1426
01:29:42,576 --> 01:29:44,910
- I love John Wayne.
- Well, I'll introduce you.
1427
01:29:44,912 --> 01:29:46,645
You guys can do a movie together.
1428
01:29:46,647 --> 01:29:48,914
Oh, gee, that would be swell.
1429
01:29:48,916 --> 01:29:51,850
Except... I don't think you
and me are gonna be pals.
1430
01:29:51,852 --> 01:29:53,651
Hey, Frank!
1431
01:29:53,653 --> 01:29:55,152
- Wanna keep me from hiring union?
- Frank!
1432
01:29:55,154 --> 01:29:58,589
I'll go downtown, hire a
bunch of winos and hookers!
1433
01:29:58,591 --> 01:30:01,325
It doesn't matter! I make garbage!
1434
01:30:01,327 --> 01:30:02,826
Frank!
1435
01:30:02,828 --> 01:30:05,329
You wanna call me a pinko
in the papers? Do it!
1436
01:30:05,331 --> 01:30:09,235
None of the people that go
to my fucking movies can read!
1437
01:30:10,836 --> 01:30:14,204
I am in this for the money and the pussy,
and they're both falling off the trees.
1438
01:30:14,206 --> 01:30:17,609
Take it away from me. Go
ahead. I won't sue you.
1439
01:30:17,611 --> 01:30:21,579
But this will be the last fucking thing
you see before I beat you to death with it.
1440
01:30:21,581 --> 01:30:24,383
- Tiffany.
- Right here.
1441
01:30:34,193 --> 01:30:37,361
Fuck you want?
1442
01:30:37,363 --> 01:30:40,699
Uh... Oh-Oh-Oh.
Uh, new script.
1443
01:30:40,701 --> 01:30:46,170
- Oh, yeah?
- Yes, it's a... it's a family picture.
1444
01:30:46,172 --> 01:30:48,339
Something I've been mulling.
1445
01:30:48,341 --> 01:30:52,177
It's the story of a young
Mexican boy and his pet bull.
1446
01:30:52,179 --> 01:30:54,646
Sounds a little fruity. What's it called?
1447
01:30:54,648 --> 01:30:56,681
The Brave One.
1448
01:30:56,683 --> 01:30:59,017
Oh, one problem though.
1449
01:30:59,019 --> 01:31:02,186
- Expensive?
- Worse.
1450
01:31:02,188 --> 01:31:04,155
It's good.
1451
01:31:13,132 --> 01:31:16,767
Olé! Olé!
1452
01:31:16,769 --> 01:31:19,039
Olé!
1453
01:31:21,041 --> 01:31:23,674
Who told you?
1454
01:31:23,676 --> 01:31:25,978
What else did they say?
1455
01:31:28,215 --> 01:31:30,315
Oh.
1456
01:31:30,317 --> 01:31:32,017
You too.
1457
01:31:32,019 --> 01:31:34,521
And thank you, Frank.
1458
01:31:36,055 --> 01:31:39,891
What?
1459
01:31:39,893 --> 01:31:43,061
The Brave One has been
nominated for an Academy Award.
1460
01:31:43,063 --> 01:31:46,196
Oh. Oh-ho!
1461
01:31:46,198 --> 01:31:47,865
Really?
1462
01:31:47,867 --> 01:31:50,903
Yes, really!
1463
01:31:52,872 --> 01:31:54,838
That's crazy.
1464
01:31:54,840 --> 01:31:57,008
I don't know. It's like
Roman Holiday.
1465
01:31:57,010 --> 01:31:59,410
Oh, Hymie, this is nothing
like Roman Holiday.
1466
01:31:59,412 --> 01:32:03,114
Roman Holiday had a
guy with a name and a body
1467
01:32:03,116 --> 01:32:05,083
they could give the award to.
1468
01:32:05,085 --> 01:32:07,686
There is no Robert Rich.
1469
01:32:07,688 --> 01:32:10,221
Who gets the thing if it wins?
1470
01:32:10,223 --> 01:32:12,289
Well, maybe it won't.
1471
01:32:12,291 --> 01:32:16,360
- I mean, it's not that good. No offense.
- None taken.
1472
01:32:16,362 --> 01:32:18,929
And now I'd like to say two
of the most beautiful words
1473
01:32:18,931 --> 01:32:21,966
in the motion picture
industry, Deborah Kerr.
1474
01:32:28,041 --> 01:32:31,276
The nominations for best
motion picture story are:
1475
01:32:31,278 --> 01:32:33,378
Robert Rich for The Brave One,
1476
01:32:33,380 --> 01:32:36,213
Leo Katcher for
The Eddy Duchin Story,
1477
01:32:36,215 --> 01:32:38,917
Jean-Paul Sartre for
The Proud and the Beautiful,
1478
01:32:38,919 --> 01:32:41,953
and Cesare Zavattini for Umberto D.
1479
01:32:41,955 --> 01:32:44,491
The envelope, please.
1480
01:32:46,792 --> 01:32:49,862
The Brave One, Robert Rich!
1481
01:32:55,167 --> 01:32:57,302
Who's that guy?
1482
01:32:57,304 --> 01:33:00,338
Mr. Jesse Lasky Jr., vice president
of the screenwriter's branch
1483
01:33:00,340 --> 01:33:02,906
of the Writers Guild will
accept the award for Mr. Rich.
1484
01:33:02,908 --> 01:33:06,477
On behalf of Robert Rich
and his beautiful story,
1485
01:33:06,479 --> 01:33:08,346
thank you very much.
1486
01:33:08,348 --> 01:33:11,151
That's so weird.
1487
01:33:12,885 --> 01:33:15,085
We, uh... We can't find Mr.
Rich anywhere. He apparently...
1488
01:33:15,087 --> 01:33:17,187
Who the hell is Robert Rich?
1489
01:33:17,189 --> 01:33:19,124
I gotta go.
1490
01:33:19,126 --> 01:33:21,493
It had better not be who they say.
1491
01:33:21,495 --> 01:33:23,128
- Mr. Trumbo.
- Yes?
1492
01:33:23,130 --> 01:33:24,896
Are you Robert Rich?
1493
01:33:24,898 --> 01:33:28,232
Did you write The Brave One?
1494
01:33:28,234 --> 01:33:30,101
Well, you see, it's...
1495
01:33:30,103 --> 01:33:34,338
it's my policy not to claim
credit for any one movie.
1496
01:33:34,340 --> 01:33:38,042
That way it's possible that I had
something to do with all of them.
1497
01:33:38,044 --> 01:33:41,311
Except the stinkers, which
were all written by my enemies.
1498
01:33:41,313 --> 01:33:43,914
What's your position on the blacklist?
1499
01:33:43,916 --> 01:33:47,352
Well, on it.
1500
01:33:47,354 --> 01:33:49,553
Along with thousands of others.
1501
01:33:49,555 --> 01:33:54,093
Are you using this Robert Rich
controversy to try and end it?
1502
01:33:55,362 --> 01:33:59,963
See, The Brave One
is a nice little picture.
1503
01:33:59,965 --> 01:34:04,802
And if rumors of my involvement can
help sell tickets, well, then good.
1504
01:34:04,804 --> 01:34:08,906
And if the strange
circumstances of its authorship
1505
01:34:08,908 --> 01:34:12,477
raised a few questions, well, even better.
1506
01:34:12,479 --> 01:34:14,279
- Trumbo?
- Yes?
1507
01:34:14,281 --> 01:34:17,451
- Phone for you.
- Well, who is it?
1508
01:34:21,921 --> 01:34:24,088
Some crazy guy, says he's Kirk Douglas.
1509
01:34:24,090 --> 01:34:26,324
Really?
1510
01:34:26,326 --> 01:34:28,894
Well, thank you, Nikola.
1511
01:34:40,072 --> 01:34:43,476
Niki? Kirk.
1512
01:34:45,979 --> 01:34:48,612
Kirk.
1513
01:34:48,614 --> 01:34:51,015
- Dalton.
- My apologies.
1514
01:34:51,017 --> 01:34:54,953
- We've had more than our share of crank calls lately.
- I can imagine.
1515
01:34:54,955 --> 01:34:57,888
- Please, have a seat. May I get you a drink?
- Uh, no. No, thank you.
1516
01:34:57,890 --> 01:34:59,892
Well, all right.
1517
01:35:02,429 --> 01:35:04,228
- So?
- I'm doing a new picture.
1518
01:35:04,230 --> 01:35:07,598
And I just got the script.
1519
01:35:07,600 --> 01:35:10,267
That must be seven hours
of entertainment there.
1520
01:35:10,269 --> 01:35:12,870
Not a single page is entertaining.
1521
01:35:12,872 --> 01:35:16,106
But there's a good
story in there somewhere.
1522
01:35:16,108 --> 01:35:18,476
About one man
1523
01:35:18,478 --> 01:35:21,445
who tried to take on the whole world.
1524
01:35:21,447 --> 01:35:26,150
Well, you've got me so far.
1525
01:35:26,152 --> 01:35:29,654
He was a slave who led a
revolt against the Roman Empire.
1526
01:35:29,656 --> 01:35:31,990
Hmm.
1527
01:35:31,992 --> 01:35:33,423
Now, what's the title?
1528
01:35:33,425 --> 01:35:36,194
Spartacus.
1529
01:35:36,196 --> 01:35:39,429
No, no, no. I-I can't tell
you what I'm working on now,
1530
01:35:39,431 --> 01:35:45,904
except to say that the... the blacklist is
alive and well and so is the black market.
1531
01:35:45,906 --> 01:35:48,373
Well, yes, you can quote me on that.
1532
01:35:48,375 --> 01:35:50,607
Seeing my name in the papers
1533
01:35:50,609 --> 01:35:53,110
drives certain people out of their minds.
1534
01:35:53,112 --> 01:35:54,678
Of course. Here he is.
1535
01:35:54,680 --> 01:35:57,347
- Kirk.
- Hedda.
1536
01:35:57,349 --> 01:35:59,584
I'd like you to meet a
friend of mine, Bob Stripling,
1537
01:35:59,586 --> 01:36:02,387
House Un-American Activities Committee.
1538
01:36:02,389 --> 01:36:05,056
Mr. Douglas.
1539
01:36:05,058 --> 01:36:07,093
Mr. Stripling.
1540
01:36:13,399 --> 01:36:17,134
- Drink?
- No, thank you.
1541
01:36:17,136 --> 01:36:19,404
You said it was important.
1542
01:36:19,406 --> 01:36:22,742
Only if you hired Dalton Trumbo.
1543
01:36:24,210 --> 01:36:26,143
Who I hire is my business.
1544
01:36:26,145 --> 01:36:29,414
No, Mr. Douglas. It's ours.
1545
01:36:29,416 --> 01:36:31,249
Why?
1546
01:36:31,251 --> 01:36:33,383
'Cause we have to keep this country safe.
1547
01:36:33,385 --> 01:36:35,253
And how are you doing that?
1548
01:36:35,255 --> 01:36:38,455
Well, why don't I show you
by putting you on the stand.
1549
01:36:38,457 --> 01:36:42,727
Hedda, is your friend trying to scare me?
1550
01:36:42,729 --> 01:36:45,996
He's just trying to show
you the way things are.
1551
01:36:45,998 --> 01:36:48,533
Maybe I don't like the way things are.
1552
01:36:48,535 --> 01:36:52,070
Kirk, we've known each other a long time.
1553
01:36:52,072 --> 01:36:55,573
Since when did you become such a bastard?
1554
01:36:55,575 --> 01:36:58,075
I was always a bastard.
1555
01:36:58,077 --> 01:37:01,013
You just never noticed.
1556
01:37:22,301 --> 01:37:26,137
- Yes?
- I wish to see the man who wrote this.
1557
01:37:26,139 --> 01:37:28,775
Please, come in.
1558
01:37:30,042 --> 01:37:31,109
Thank you.
1559
01:37:35,047 --> 01:37:37,416
I am Otto Preminger.
1560
01:37:38,785 --> 01:37:40,485
The director.
1561
01:37:40,487 --> 01:37:42,453
Uh, f-forgive me.
1562
01:37:42,455 --> 01:37:47,025
I-I... I've just finished
work a few hours ago. I...
1563
01:37:47,027 --> 01:37:50,261
- A copy of which I've read.
- But how...
1564
01:37:50,263 --> 01:37:52,663
I-I just had that delivered this morning.
1565
01:37:52,665 --> 01:37:57,036
I am Otto Preminger, the director.
1566
01:37:58,071 --> 01:38:00,372
Please.
1567
01:38:07,413 --> 01:38:10,515
Oh, yes. My youngest thinks that
1568
01:38:10,517 --> 01:38:14,084
I can end the suffering
of all broken birds.
1569
01:38:14,086 --> 01:38:17,120
As can I, with a broiler.
1570
01:38:19,692 --> 01:38:24,128
Are your duties completed
for Mr. Kirk Douglas?
1571
01:38:24,130 --> 01:38:25,530
No.
1572
01:38:25,532 --> 01:38:28,566
But I do have two weeks off for Christmas.
1573
01:38:28,568 --> 01:38:32,369
During which time you will work with me.
1574
01:38:32,371 --> 01:38:34,204
Will I?
1575
01:38:34,206 --> 01:38:37,275
If you're as intelligent as your writing,
1576
01:38:37,277 --> 01:38:40,777
and as greedy as your reputation.
1577
01:38:42,215 --> 01:38:44,682
It is an adaptation of
the novel Exodus.
1578
01:38:44,684 --> 01:38:46,584
- You've read it?
- No.
1579
01:38:46,586 --> 01:38:49,352
A colossal best seller.
1580
01:38:49,354 --> 01:38:51,722
Very nearly a perfect piece of shit.
1581
01:38:51,724 --> 01:38:57,861
But there's a good
story in there somewhere.
1582
01:38:57,863 --> 01:39:00,765
I have no idea.
1583
01:39:00,767 --> 01:39:03,267
But I have Paul Newman.
1584
01:39:03,269 --> 01:39:05,735
We have spoken.
1585
01:39:05,737 --> 01:39:10,341
He is a little reticent, but I believe
at the right price he will accept.
1586
01:39:10,343 --> 01:39:13,177
So you're doing it?
1587
01:39:13,179 --> 01:39:16,446
Well, I... I think it's the
only way to get him to leave.
1588
01:39:16,448 --> 01:39:18,615
It's very important.
1589
01:39:18,617 --> 01:39:21,119
Poor Mr. Preminger.
1590
01:39:21,121 --> 01:39:23,420
He thinks he's the cat
and you're the mouse.
1591
01:39:38,871 --> 01:39:41,505
- Oh, look at that!
- Hey, Mitzi, what's that?
1592
01:39:41,507 --> 01:39:44,508
- Russian doll?
- Perfect. Absolutely perfect.
1593
01:39:44,510 --> 01:39:46,744
Oh. What is this, Santa?
1594
01:39:46,746 --> 01:39:49,847
Oh, just a little something for Mrs. Claus.
1595
01:39:49,849 --> 01:39:52,852
- I'll open it later.
- Christmas is over.
1596
01:39:54,787 --> 01:39:57,621
Well,
1597
01:39:57,623 --> 01:39:59,222
did you read the new scenes?
1598
01:39:59,224 --> 01:40:01,191
Dreadful.
1599
01:40:01,193 --> 01:40:06,396
Keep up this level of work, and I will
see to it your name is on my movie.
1600
01:40:06,398 --> 01:40:08,433
To take the blame.
1601
01:40:15,908 --> 01:40:19,211
Well, there you go.
1602
01:40:23,515 --> 01:40:27,450
Oh, hello. Hi, Sammy.
1603
01:40:27,452 --> 01:40:30,922
Oh, do you know that Kirk
Douglas gave me this bird?
1604
01:40:30,924 --> 01:40:32,957
It's a distraction.
1605
01:40:32,959 --> 01:40:35,325
No. No, not at all.
1606
01:40:35,327 --> 01:40:38,628
I named him Sam Jackson.
1607
01:40:38,630 --> 01:40:41,601
He wrote Spartacus.
1608
01:40:42,835 --> 01:40:45,104
Well?
1609
01:40:46,272 --> 01:40:47,804
- Better.
- Thank God.
1610
01:40:47,806 --> 01:40:51,909
But... it simply lacks genius.
1611
01:40:51,911 --> 01:40:54,544
Otto,
1612
01:40:54,546 --> 01:40:56,681
if every scene is brilliant,
1613
01:40:56,683 --> 01:40:59,816
your movie is going to
be utterly monotonous.
1614
01:40:59,818 --> 01:41:02,587
I'll tell you what.
1615
01:41:02,589 --> 01:41:06,723
You write every scene brilliantly,
1616
01:41:06,725 --> 01:41:10,895
and I will direct unevenly.
1617
01:41:12,532 --> 01:41:15,068
What is it, dear?
1618
01:41:16,336 --> 01:41:20,338
- Thank you.
- Oh, hello, Kirk.
1619
01:41:20,340 --> 01:41:22,306
Merry Christmas. Thank you, Mitzi.
1620
01:41:22,308 --> 01:41:24,609
Otto. How are you?
1621
01:41:24,611 --> 01:41:28,311
I am very well, Kirk.
1622
01:41:28,313 --> 01:41:30,981
I, uh... I didn't mean to interrupt.
1623
01:41:30,983 --> 01:41:32,749
Uh, no, no.
1624
01:41:32,751 --> 01:41:34,752
No, no, no. Not at all. Not at all.
1625
01:41:34,754 --> 01:41:39,358
Otto, would you mind if we had
a little chat? Won't be a second.
1626
01:41:43,729 --> 01:41:46,731
I sort of feel like I walked in on my wife.
1627
01:41:46,733 --> 01:41:50,000
- Do you love him?
- Oh, it's far more lurid than that.
1628
01:41:50,002 --> 01:41:52,402
He's paying me for my services.
1629
01:41:52,404 --> 01:41:57,674
- So am I.
- And you'll get them again January 2 as promised.
1630
01:41:57,676 --> 01:42:00,511
I just need you a few days
on some of the new scenes.
1631
01:42:00,513 --> 01:42:03,880
Of course. But not until the second.
1632
01:42:03,882 --> 01:42:06,284
I wouldn't ask,
1633
01:42:06,286 --> 01:42:11,321
but I've never had a director who's a
bigger pain in my ass than Stanley Kubrick.
1634
01:42:11,323 --> 01:42:13,691
The worst part is, he's right.
1635
01:42:15,827 --> 01:42:19,365
Well, I wouldn't refuse, but...
1636
01:42:21,434 --> 01:42:23,933
Well, I really...
1637
01:42:23,935 --> 01:42:25,602
This should remain between us.
1638
01:42:25,604 --> 01:42:27,471
Of course.
1639
01:42:27,473 --> 01:42:29,673
Well,
1640
01:42:29,675 --> 01:42:32,509
Preminger has declared that...
1641
01:42:32,511 --> 01:42:34,645
Well, what he said was,
1642
01:42:34,647 --> 01:42:37,380
"You keep up this level of work,
1643
01:42:37,382 --> 01:42:41,052
and I'll see to it that
your name is on my movie."
1644
01:42:41,054 --> 01:42:43,753
- Really?
- Oh, yes.
1645
01:42:43,755 --> 01:42:47,658
Those were his exact words.
1646
01:42:51,764 --> 01:42:54,899
- I'll be in touch.
- Very well.
1647
01:42:54,901 --> 01:42:58,237
- Merry Christmas!
- You too.
1648
01:43:01,373 --> 01:43:04,008
I suppose he wants you back.
1649
01:43:04,010 --> 01:43:06,677
Well, no. No, no, he...
1650
01:43:06,679 --> 01:43:08,678
he just stopped by
1651
01:43:08,680 --> 01:43:12,351
to talk about a screen credit.
1652
01:43:13,618 --> 01:43:16,755
On Spartacus?
1653
01:43:18,523 --> 01:43:22,426
Well, I... I really
shouldn't have said anything.
1654
01:43:22,428 --> 01:43:25,529
You understand.
1655
01:43:25,531 --> 01:43:29,135
Five minutes. Back in
five minutes, everybody!
1656
01:43:30,403 --> 01:43:32,669
Kirk.
1657
01:43:32,671 --> 01:43:34,538
Hedda Hopper just told
me the American Legion
1658
01:43:34,540 --> 01:43:36,707
is going to boycott us
unless you get rid of Trumbo.
1659
01:43:36,709 --> 01:43:39,075
Ed, he's not done with the script.
1660
01:43:39,077 --> 01:43:41,911
His name will never be on the
thing. What's anybody boycotting?
1661
01:43:41,913 --> 01:43:44,714
Kirk... Just... Just... Just
a second. Please. Please.
1662
01:43:44,716 --> 01:43:46,883
Just give... Just give me
five seconds. Please listen.
1663
01:43:46,885 --> 01:43:50,420
Twenty million Americans
are saying loud and clear
1664
01:43:50,422 --> 01:43:54,525
they will never buy a ticket to our
movie unless you fire one writer.
1665
01:43:54,527 --> 01:43:57,160
Here's 50!
1666
01:43:57,162 --> 01:43:59,432
Pick one.
1667
01:44:19,050 --> 01:44:20,985
Mind if I stick my nose in?
1668
01:44:20,987 --> 01:44:22,419
Please.
1669
01:44:22,421 --> 01:44:24,821
He knows.
1670
01:44:24,823 --> 01:44:28,057
He sees Kirk Douglas
coming in and out of here.
1671
01:44:28,059 --> 01:44:31,229
And Otto Preminger and his Rolls.
1672
01:44:32,697 --> 01:44:35,766
He's an idiot, but he's not stupid.
1673
01:44:35,768 --> 01:44:38,201
Has he called the FBI?
1674
01:44:38,203 --> 01:44:40,771
Congress?
1675
01:44:40,773 --> 01:44:45,075
No. Because everything they
can do, they've already done.
1676
01:44:45,077 --> 01:44:49,446
That Oscar belongs to you.
1677
01:44:49,448 --> 01:44:51,615
Get it.
1678
01:44:51,617 --> 01:44:54,584
My God.
1679
01:44:54,586 --> 01:44:58,222
You're nothing like me. You're worse.
1680
01:45:05,163 --> 01:45:08,966
- For the record, you're Robert Rich?
- I am.
1681
01:45:08,968 --> 01:45:11,768
I've been through the whole
list, Ed. They're all hacks.
1682
01:45:11,770 --> 01:45:13,637
And you wrote The Brave One?
1683
01:45:13,639 --> 01:45:15,039
I did.
1684
01:45:15,041 --> 01:45:17,106
Ed, let me call you back.
1685
01:45:17,108 --> 01:45:20,477
Why come forward now?
1686
01:45:20,479 --> 01:45:22,545
Well, as someone who has
been thoroughly investigated
1687
01:45:22,547 --> 01:45:24,914
by the House Un-American
Activities Committee,
1688
01:45:24,916 --> 01:45:28,585
I started wondering,
why hasn't anyone
1689
01:45:28,587 --> 01:45:32,155
taken a good long look at them
1690
01:45:32,157 --> 01:45:34,825
and their work in
the movie industry.
1691
01:45:34,827 --> 01:45:40,129
You see, they were convened
to uncover enemy agents,
1692
01:45:40,131 --> 01:45:42,700
expose Communist conspiracies
1693
01:45:42,702 --> 01:45:44,767
and write anti-sedition laws.
1694
01:45:44,769 --> 01:45:47,036
Well, here we are,
1695
01:45:47,038 --> 01:45:51,842
thousands of hours and
millions of dollars later.
1696
01:45:51,844 --> 01:45:55,279
Agents uncovered, zero.
1697
01:45:55,281 --> 01:45:57,914
Conspiracies exposed, zero.
1698
01:45:57,916 --> 01:45:59,950
Laws written, zero.
1699
01:45:59,952 --> 01:46:02,552
You see, all they do
1700
01:46:02,554 --> 01:46:05,789
is deny people the right to work.
1701
01:46:05,791 --> 01:46:08,092
And they can't even get that right.
1702
01:46:08,094 --> 01:46:11,264
Academy Awards, two.
1703
01:46:15,033 --> 01:46:16,866
And how does that feel,
1704
01:46:16,868 --> 01:46:19,736
to have so undermined the
blacklist that it's almost a joke?
1705
01:46:19,738 --> 01:46:22,307
A joke?
1706
01:46:25,176 --> 01:46:30,813
I know the blacklist that
produced Robert Rich.
1707
01:46:30,815 --> 01:46:35,953
I've seen its horror and cruelty
1708
01:46:35,955 --> 01:46:38,187
and hideous waste of life
1709
01:46:38,189 --> 01:46:43,826
as I've walked in the long
line of its anonymous.
1710
01:46:43,828 --> 01:46:47,196
And I cannot invent
1711
01:46:47,198 --> 01:46:50,301
one more witticism about Robert Rich,
1712
01:46:50,303 --> 01:46:54,340
or the Oscar he can't claim.
1713
01:46:55,741 --> 01:47:01,011
Because that small,
1714
01:47:01,013 --> 01:47:05,048
worthless golden statue
1715
01:47:05,050 --> 01:47:08,620
is covered with the blood of my friends.
1716
01:47:14,727 --> 01:47:16,963
I'll get it.
1717
01:47:18,363 --> 01:47:21,298
Hello? Oh, hello, Otto.
1718
01:47:21,300 --> 01:47:23,866
I've read your last draft.
1719
01:47:23,868 --> 01:47:28,204
- And what do you think?
- My answer is on the front page
1720
01:47:28,206 --> 01:47:31,309
of today's New York Times.
1721
01:47:37,349 --> 01:47:39,616
You hated it that much?
1722
01:47:39,618 --> 01:47:43,455
Merry Christmas, Mr. Trumbo.
1723
01:47:48,794 --> 01:47:51,563
Ed, have a seat.
1724
01:48:11,751 --> 01:48:14,718
Well, why doesn't he
kill him? Kill him.
1725
01:48:14,720 --> 01:48:16,853
- Kill him!
- Kill him, you imbecile!
1726
01:48:16,855 --> 01:48:18,755
- Kill him!
- Kill him!
1727
01:48:18,757 --> 01:48:20,393
Kill...
1728
01:48:22,894 --> 01:48:25,361
Great. Great.
1729
01:48:25,363 --> 01:48:27,830
Marty, have them put up the
scene with Varinia and Crassus.
1730
01:48:27,832 --> 01:48:29,400
- Yes, sir.
- Thank you.
1731
01:48:29,402 --> 01:48:31,937
- Listen, Kirk, I...
- Uh, one second.
1732
01:48:36,942 --> 01:48:41,978
Warren, I'd like you to
put out a press release.
1733
01:48:41,980 --> 01:48:44,748
The screen... One second, Warren.
1734
01:48:44,750 --> 01:48:48,420
What do you remember when
you think about Spartacus?
1735
01:48:51,424 --> 01:48:55,359
He was a man who began
all alone like an animal.
1736
01:48:55,361 --> 01:48:57,860
Yet on the day he died,
1737
01:48:57,862 --> 01:49:01,164
thousands and thousands would
gladly have died in his place.
1738
01:49:01,166 --> 01:49:04,067
What was he?
1739
01:49:04,069 --> 01:49:06,969
Was he a god?
1740
01:49:06,971 --> 01:49:09,707
He wasn't a god.
1741
01:49:09,709 --> 01:49:11,909
He was a simple man.
1742
01:49:11,911 --> 01:49:13,946
A slave.
1743
01:49:17,282 --> 01:49:19,482
I loved him.
1744
01:49:19,484 --> 01:49:21,351
- Warren...
- Why did you love him?
1745
01:49:21,353 --> 01:49:24,387
the press release will say
1746
01:49:24,389 --> 01:49:28,025
the screenplay for Spartacus
was written by Dalton Trumbo.
1747
01:49:28,027 --> 01:49:30,460
Thank you.
1748
01:49:30,462 --> 01:49:33,931
Kirk, if you don't get
rid of Trumbo, I will.
1749
01:49:33,933 --> 01:49:37,234
And right after I quit, you
can reshoot all my scenes.
1750
01:49:37,236 --> 01:49:38,936
You see, Ed,
1751
01:49:38,938 --> 01:49:42,438
for better or worse,
1752
01:49:42,440 --> 01:49:44,941
I am Spartacus.
1753
01:49:48,947 --> 01:49:50,780
There's a picture coming out.
1754
01:49:50,782 --> 01:49:53,217
It's called Spartacus.
1755
01:49:53,219 --> 01:49:57,954
It's starting Kirk Douglas, and
it is written by Dalton Trumbo.
1756
01:49:59,925 --> 01:50:04,061
If there is some other writer's
name on it, don't believe it.
1757
01:50:04,063 --> 01:50:07,633
We're onto them.
1758
01:50:12,371 --> 01:50:14,437
- Yes?
- Now, listen, Ed.
1759
01:50:14,439 --> 01:50:16,906
We'll picket every
theater that movie is in
1760
01:50:16,908 --> 01:50:19,176
unless you pull the prints tonight
1761
01:50:19,178 --> 01:50:21,445
and you get that traitor's name off it.
1762
01:50:21,447 --> 01:50:24,815
Hedda, you can't put me in this
position. That's expensive and pointless.
1763
01:50:24,817 --> 01:50:28,819
Then you can kiss your movie, your
studio and your miserable ass good-bye.
1764
01:50:28,821 --> 01:50:30,454
Hollywood turns out in force
1765
01:50:30,456 --> 01:50:33,356
to hail UI's new film
spectacle, Spartacus,
1766
01:50:33,358 --> 01:50:36,826
on the premier of the $12 million
picture in the film colony.
1767
01:50:36,828 --> 01:50:39,362
The protesters also showed
up to remind everyone
1768
01:50:39,364 --> 01:50:43,866
of the political controversy
surrounding the making of this film.
1769
01:51:35,987 --> 01:51:38,156
Cleo?
1770
01:51:41,026 --> 01:51:42,625
What is it?
1771
01:51:42,627 --> 01:51:45,128
What's wrong?
1772
01:51:45,130 --> 01:51:47,700
Oh, now.
1773
01:51:51,437 --> 01:51:53,337
It's over.
1774
01:51:53,339 --> 01:51:56,041
Isn't it?
1775
01:51:57,943 --> 01:52:00,209
Yes.
1776
01:52:00,211 --> 01:52:03,579
Yes.
1777
01:52:03,581 --> 01:52:06,651
And we made it.
1778
01:52:09,654 --> 01:52:12,521
Yes.
1779
01:52:15,361 --> 01:52:18,395
President Kennedy enjoyed
a rare evening off
1780
01:52:18,397 --> 01:52:22,432
attending the new Kirk
Douglas film, Spartacus.
1781
01:52:22,434 --> 01:52:27,169
We are here live awaiting
the president's comments.
1782
01:52:27,171 --> 01:52:30,140
Mr. President? Mr.
President? Mr. President!
1783
01:52:30,142 --> 01:52:33,543
It's a very controversial
film. What did you think?
1784
01:52:33,545 --> 01:52:36,346
Oh, I think it's
a... a fine picture,
1785
01:52:36,348 --> 01:52:38,915
and I think it's
going to be a big hit.
1786
01:52:38,917 --> 01:52:42,953
The implication of Kennedy's approval
of this film are wide-ranging.
1787
01:52:42,955 --> 01:52:46,022
The novel was written
by a former Communist.
1788
01:52:46,024 --> 01:52:49,125
The screenplay was adapted
by a former Communist.
1789
01:52:49,127 --> 01:52:52,628
And this signifies the
blacklist may be over.
1790
01:52:52,630 --> 01:52:55,365
As Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger
1791
01:52:55,367 --> 01:52:59,503
have openly hired and
credited blacklisted writers.
1792
01:52:59,505 --> 01:53:03,339
This is a clear repudiation
of the decades-long fight
1793
01:53:03,341 --> 01:53:08,177
by anti-Communists to punish
artists for their political beliefs.
1794
01:53:08,179 --> 01:53:10,012
This next award is for the member
1795
01:53:10,014 --> 01:53:12,615
who has advanced the
literature of motion pictures.
1796
01:53:12,617 --> 01:53:15,619
Occasionally, there
appears among us a person
1797
01:53:15,621 --> 01:53:18,554
whose virtues are so manifest,
1798
01:53:18,556 --> 01:53:22,225
who so subordinates his own
ego to the concerns of others,
1799
01:53:22,227 --> 01:53:26,396
who lives in such harmony with
all the standards of the community
1800
01:53:26,398 --> 01:53:29,466
that he is revered and loved by everyone.
1801
01:53:29,468 --> 01:53:32,069
Such a man Dalton Trumbo is not.
1802
01:53:35,373 --> 01:53:37,374
It gives me great pleasure to present
1803
01:53:37,376 --> 01:53:41,645
the Writers Guild of America
Laurel Award to Dalton Trumbo.
1804
01:53:49,321 --> 01:53:52,023
- Congratulations.
- Thank you. Thank you very much.
1805
01:53:58,197 --> 01:54:02,432
Thank you. Thank you very
much, ladies and gentlemen.
1806
01:54:02,434 --> 01:54:06,168
Often, when I stand before
1807
01:54:06,170 --> 01:54:09,172
the film community,
1808
01:54:09,174 --> 01:54:12,075
there's an elephant in the room.
1809
01:54:12,077 --> 01:54:13,709
Me.
1810
01:54:13,711 --> 01:54:18,883
And I... I... I thought
I would address that.
1811
01:54:21,053 --> 01:54:26,356
The blacklist was a time of evil.
1812
01:54:26,358 --> 01:54:30,259
And no one who survived it
1813
01:54:30,261 --> 01:54:34,299
came through untouched by evil.
1814
01:54:35,666 --> 01:54:39,201
Caught in a situation that had passed
1815
01:54:39,203 --> 01:54:43,140
beyond the control of mere individuals,
1816
01:54:43,142 --> 01:54:46,810
each person reacted as his nature,
1817
01:54:46,812 --> 01:54:49,812
his needs, his convictions
1818
01:54:49,814 --> 01:54:54,250
and his particular
circumstances compelled him to.
1819
01:54:54,252 --> 01:54:58,221
It was a time of fear,
1820
01:54:58,223 --> 01:55:01,557
and no one was exempt.
1821
01:55:01,559 --> 01:55:07,463
Scores of people lost their homes.
1822
01:55:07,465 --> 01:55:12,003
Their families disintegrated, they lost!
1823
01:55:16,375 --> 01:55:18,977
And some...
1824
01:55:22,648 --> 01:55:26,118
some even lost their lives.
1825
01:55:29,720 --> 01:55:35,491
But when you look back upon that dark time,
1826
01:55:35,493 --> 01:55:39,295
as I think you should every now and then,
1827
01:55:39,297 --> 01:55:41,198
it will do you no good
1828
01:55:41,200 --> 01:55:46,703
to search for heroes or villains.
1829
01:55:46,705 --> 01:55:49,573
There weren't any.
1830
01:55:49,575 --> 01:55:52,777
There were only victims.
1831
01:55:54,212 --> 01:55:57,481
Victims, because each of us
1832
01:55:57,483 --> 01:56:00,883
felt compelled to say or do things
1833
01:56:00,885 --> 01:56:03,820
that we otherwise would not.
1834
01:56:03,822 --> 01:56:05,554
To deliver
1835
01:56:05,556 --> 01:56:08,158
or receive wounds,
1836
01:56:08,160 --> 01:56:12,464
which we truly did not wish to exchange.
1837
01:56:14,366 --> 01:56:18,134
I look out to my family sitting there,
1838
01:56:18,136 --> 01:56:21,237
and I realize
1839
01:56:21,239 --> 01:56:24,774
what I've put them through.
1840
01:56:24,776 --> 01:56:27,446
And it's unfair.
1841
01:56:30,681 --> 01:56:33,616
My wife,
1842
01:56:33,618 --> 01:56:37,686
who somehow kept it all together,
1843
01:56:37,688 --> 01:56:40,458
amazes me.
1844
01:56:41,792 --> 01:56:46,629
And so what I say here tonight
1845
01:56:46,631 --> 01:56:50,901
is not intended to...
1846
01:56:50,903 --> 01:56:54,840
to be hurtful to anyone.
1847
01:56:56,241 --> 01:57:00,946
It is intended to heal the hurt.
1848
01:57:02,680 --> 01:57:04,713
To repair the wounds,
1849
01:57:04,715 --> 01:57:09,485
which, for years,
1850
01:57:09,487 --> 01:57:13,825
have been inflicted upon each other,
1851
01:57:14,893 --> 01:57:19,598
and, most egregiously, upon ourselves.
1852
01:57:24,937 --> 01:57:26,936

If you receive the Oscar, what
do you intend to do with it?
1864
02:00:21,813 --> 02:00:24,114
I have a...
1865
02:00:24,116 --> 02:00:28,752
I have a daughter, 13 years old.
1866
02:00:28,754 --> 02:00:32,621
I've been blacklisted since she was three.
1867
02:00:32,623 --> 02:00:34,758
She's known the title
1868
02:00:34,760 --> 02:00:38,395
of every motion picture
I've written in this study,
1869
02:00:38,397 --> 02:00:40,562
and she's kept that title secret.
1870
02:00:40,564 --> 02:00:44,401
She's been a... a soldier.
1871
02:00:44,403 --> 02:00:47,503
When her... When her friends
say to her, as children do,
1872
02:00:47,505 --> 02:00:50,874
"My father does so-and-so.
What does your father do?"
1873
02:00:50,876 --> 02:00:54,177
This has confronted her
with a very real problem.
1874
02:00:54,179 --> 02:00:56,646
It... It confronts her with the problem,
1875
02:00:56,648 --> 02:00:58,914
and has since she was three,
1876
02:00:58,916 --> 02:01:01,985
of who her father really is,
1877
02:01:01,987 --> 02:01:05,689
a-a-and what her
father really does.
1878
02:01:06,724 --> 02:01:10,427
I, uh, think
1879
02:01:10,429 --> 02:01:12,695
I will give this Oscar, if I get it,
1880
02:01:12,697 --> 02:01:15,698
to that girl.
1881
02:01:15,700 --> 02:01:18,468
I... I think I will tell her,
1882
02:01:18,470 --> 02:01:21,070
"Well, here is one secret
1883
02:01:21,072 --> 02:01:25,174
you no longer need to be burdened with."
1884
02:01:25,176 --> 02:01:27,142
I'll tell her,
1885
02:01:27,144 --> 02:01:31,115
"We... We have our names back again."
1886
