Trumbo (DVD)

Trumbo (2007), documentary. A portrait of Dalton Trumbo, successful Hollywood screenwriter who was blacklisted after refusing to cooperate with the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1947. Trumbo's personal letters, archival footage, and interviews with his surviving contemporaries all figure in the mix. Interesting. Lacks captions for the hearing impaired. Grade: B
