Christopher Trumbo, Trumbo

Christopher Trumbo, the son of the
blacklisted, Oscar-winning Hollywood screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, fashions a
documentary from a stage piece he'd written. Expanded with
marvelous clips from seminal films (Spartacus, Lonely
Are the Brave, The Sandpiper, The Fixer, Papillon) archival newsreels of the House Un-American
Activities Committee and family photos and interviews, this
son's valentine to his father makes Dalton Trumbo (1905-76)
a man well worth knowing.
