McCarthyism in Hollywood

Abstract

The Bachelors thesis concerns the phenomenon Red Scare and the House of Un-American Activities Committee, which was established in 1938 to investigate communism activity within the United States of America. It also studies its impact on the movie industry in Hollywood, and hence on the individual actors, who thanks to the Hollywood Blacklist couldn't perform anywhere during the second Red Scare in the 1950s. It then continues to analyze famous American titles such as The Crucible (1996); Good Night and Good luck and Guilty by Suspicion, which concern the previously mentioned issues.
