07/10/2019 Interesting and enlightening film. I learned things I didn't know about the bad old days of blacklisting actors. Hard to believe that went on in my lifetime. Well done and I'm surprised I had never heard of Marsha. Thank you, Roger Memos for bringing her story to light. See more 07/06/2019 Amazing documentary about an amazing woman.
