When I was doing the Daily Mirror at latimes.com, I wrote several posts on Dalton Trumbo, the subject of the new movie starring Bryan Cranston as the blacklisted screenwriter.
Here are some links:

A heinous, self-righteous era that we pray does not happen again, but this time for relativism and political correctness.

The New York Times gave the Trumbo movie a lukewarm review; whereas the Los Angeles Times loved it. Go figure.

Met Trumbo several times while he was making his film version of ‘Johnny’. By then, he was angrily bitter. The government had turned a brilliant writer into something much smaller. He was also a chain smoker and his clothes reeked of pot. There may never have been anything as un-American as HUAC.
