new book: Hollywood Exile, or How I Learned to Love the Blacklist

[Doug Millison]

Title: Gordon, Bernard: Hollywood Exile, or How I Learned to Love the
Blacklist
Publisher: University of Texas Press

The Hollywood blacklist, which began in the late 1940s and ran well into
the 1960s, ended or curtailed the careers of hundreds of people accused
of having ties to the Communist Party. Bernard Gordon was one of them.
In this highly readable memoir, he tells a engrossing insider's story
of what it was like to be blacklisted and how he and others continued
to work uncredited behind the scenes, writing and producing many box
office hits of the era.
