in the late 40s. Shortly before making this film he made "Hollywood 10" (1950) about the persecution of actors and directors by HUAC, and this earned him a place on the blacklist and virtually ended his career in the US.

Trumbo won the Oscar twice ("The Brave One", "Roman Holiday") and was nominated a third time ("Kitty Foyle"). He won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes for "Johnny Got His Gun" (1971). He wrote "Spartacus" under an assumed name, and when Kirk Douglas insisted that his real name be used, this broke the black list.

The film credit goes to his long time friend Bob Roberts. The cinematography is by James Wong Howe (1899-1976), one of Hollywood's best cameramen. Howe's characteristic use of deep focus and dramatic lighting are well in evidence. Howe was nominated for an Oscar 10 times and won twice ("Hud" and "The Rose Tatoo"), making him one of the most acknowledged cinematographers in film history.
