The story takes place in the troubled period of senator Mc Carthy's chase for communists especially in the world of actors and journalists

Rating: 9/10 (3 October 2006)

I deeply enjoyed the movie because the characters are true and human : I always felt how depressing it was for those suspected to be communists and actually not belonging to this political party. How could they prove they were not what they were accused to be ? The black and white pictures and the movements of the camera add a lot to the drama especially when the camera comes very close to the journalist with a veil of smoke coming up from his cigarette reinforcing the impression that they all feel glued in a deep fog. So does the position of the journalist rarely facing the camera but looking at the lens with a light turn of his head and shoulders.
