News flash-there WERE plenty of pinko dirtbags in Hollywood then. There's plenty of history on it.

Before I sat down to write this...Thanks, everyone.<br /><br />Before I sat down to write this thing, all I knew about Bond and the blacklist was a vague recollection of a clip I'd seen of him testifying before HUAC as a friendly witness. (Okay, "friendly" is a bit of an understatement -- "boot-licking paranoid nutcase" would be more accurate.) Then I found out about the MPA and some of the real nastiness this guy pulled. I mean, damn, lovable "Bert the Cop" from <i>It's a Wonderful Life</i>?<br /><br />Although I have to say that wasn't nearly as disappointing as finding out Walter Brennan was also a stone racist.

Fun fact: They were hunting one time while Bond was staring in Wagon Train and Wayne shot him in the back (bird hunting I think, so it was a shot gun).<br /><br />The classics just keep on giving.lawguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11534424484513054742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-58176387868753538472015-12-14T13:05:26.031-08:002015-12-14T13:05:26.031-08:00Heil ho! :)
Hollywood sure did know how to cinema...Heil ho! :)<br /><br />Hollywood sure did know how to cinematize a fascist, eh?<br /><br />Been reading all about movies of the 50s and HUAC. Amazing stuff.<br /><br />I knew John Wayne was an icehole, but I didn't know about Ward Bond.

It makes me feel bad, mainly because I love so many of the movies he was in, but who cares, really?Jay B.noreply@blogger.com
