Edgar Hoover's Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted a sweeping and sustained investigation of the motion picture industry to expose Hollywood's alleged subversion of "the American Way" through its depiction of social problems, class differences, and alternative political ideologies. FBI informants (their names still redacted today) reported to Hoover's G-men on screenplays and screenings of such films as Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life (1946), noting that "this picture deliberately maligned the upper class attempting to show that people who had money were mean and despicable characters." The FBI's anxiety over this film was not unique; it extended to a wide range of popular and critical successes, including The Grapes of Wrath (1940), The Best Years of Our Lives (1946), Crossfire (1947) and On the Waterfront (1954).In J. Edgar Hoover Goes to the Movies, John Sbardellati provides a new consideration of Hollywood's history and the post-World War II Red Scare. In addition to governmental intrusion into the creative process, he details the efforts of left-wing filmmakers to use the medium to bring social problems to light and the campaigns of their colleagues on the political right, through such organizations as the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals, to prevent dissemination of "un-American" ideas and beliefs.Sbardellati argues that the attack on Hollywood drew its motivation from a sincerely held fear that film content endangered national security by fostering a culture that would be at best apathetic to the Cold War struggle at best, or, at its worst, conducive to communism at home. Those who took part in Hollywood's Cold War struggle, whether on the left or right, shared one common trait: a belief that the movies could serve as engines for social change. This strongly held assumption explains why the stakes were so high and, ultimately, why Hollywood became one of the most important ideological battlegrounds of the Cold War. 606 $aMotion pictures$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aCold War in motion pictures 606 $aCommunism and motion pictures$zUnited States 606 $aCold War$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 615 0$aMotion pictures$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aCold War in motion pictures. 615 0$aCommunism and motion pictures 615 0$aCold War$xSocial aspects 676 $a384/.8097309045 700 $aSbardellati$b John$f1973-$01559013 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790301103321 996 $aJ.

He offered Shelvocke the captaincy of the larger ship but then demoted him to a smaller vessel, and Shelvocke, bitter and revengeful, immediately set off on his own for South America with a semi-mutinous crew, and his much-hated Captain of Marines, William Betagh. After rounding Cape Horn, one of Shelvocke's men shot a black albatross - an event later to be immor 410 0$aSeafarers' voices. 606 $aVoyages around the world$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aPrivateering$vEarly works to 1800 607 $aSouth America$xDescription and travel$vEarly works to 1800 607 $aPacific Coast (Mexico)$xDescription and travel$vEarly works to 1800 607 $aPacific Coast (South America)$xDescription and travel$vEarly works to 1800 607 $aMexico$xDescription and travel$vEarly works to 1800 615 0$aVoyages around the world 615 0$aPrivateering 676 $a910.45092 700 $aShelvocke$b George$01580198 702 $aMcInerney$b Vincent 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797581803321 996 $aA privateer's voyage round the world$93860931 997 $aUNINA
