Academy Award winning screenwriter, Walter Bernstein describes what it was like to be on the Hollywood Blacklist during the red scare and McCarthyism. He brings humor and candor to the ordeal that impacted his career for over a decade.
During the late 1940s and all through the 1950s, Sen. Joseph McCarthy carried out a witch hunt on Communists - both actual and perceived -- which led to the creation of the infamous Hollywood blacklist, resulting in 150 directors, actors, writers, and others in the entertainment business being banned from making a living for over a decade. The Front (1976), was directed by Martin Ritt, written by Walter Bernstein, and stars Zero Mostel - all three victims of blacklisting. Screening is followed by a Q&A; with Mr. Bernstein, who also wrote: Yanks, Semi-Tough, The Train, Yanks, Little Miss Marker, Miss Evers' Boys, The House on Carroll Street, and many more. Mr. Bernstein is the author, Inside Out: A Memoir of the Blacklist, Knopf (1996).

This recording was made in the mid-1950's, when Michaelis was a producer for the Masterworks division of Columbia Records. He had been asked to interview Bruno Walter for brief radio commercials to promote the conductor's records.

Michaelis went on to interview a range of personalities, from Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II to Eleanor Roosevelt and two Indian Prime Ministers, Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. This LP was issued on the Columbia Masterworks label, se...

One of the premier jazz bassists in history, Richard Davis is widely recorded, not only in jazz settings but also in the pop, rock and classical genres as well.
