David Merrill, a director in 1950s Hollywood, returns from abroad to find that a rising tide of McCarthyism and the Red Scare has led to him not being allowed to work in films. He will only be allowed to direct once he implicates colleagues as Communist agents. He must decide whether to turn informant, or to stick to principle at the cost of his life's work.
Martin Scorsese: As Director Joe Lesser, was based on real-life film Director Joseph Losey, who spent the rest of his career in the UK after being blacklisted.
This is my latest addition to the 16mm collection, starring a host of very good actors including Robert De Nero, Sam Wanamaker, Annette Benning, George Wendt and Martin Scorsese, in one of his few acting roles, and Ben Piazza as Darryl F. Zanuck. Not an action film, but a good story that is seldom told in films, what makes this a very good film, (for me) is the performances from the first class cast. The movie runs for 105 minutes and concludes with an intense court session, the print is polyester, low fade LPP stock and had excellent pin sharp image and sound.

What a cracking looking print tom, good viewing on that one ............

Nice addition to the collection Tom, looks very nice, the late 80s early 90s prints seem to improve somehow and look great on screen, Mark

The sound on these 80s and 90s prints is also so much better.
