Rebecca Prime will be signing copies of her book, Hollywood Exiles in Europe: The Blacklist and Cold War Film Culture, beginning at 7 p.m.
Directed by Edward Dmytryk.
The first blacklisted exile production, Christ in Concrete was not the blow to the blacklist its makers intended. Set in New York’s Little Italy but filmed at Rank’s Denham Studios outside of London, the film’s remarkable depiction of the hardships endured by Italian-American construction workers was barely screened in the U.S. due to the efforts of the anti-Communist American Legion.
