Hollywood's missing movies

Hollywood has produced almost no films about the history of communism despite abundant dramatic material, and part of the reason, according to the text, lies in the Communist Party's past influence over the studios. The Party's Hollywood branch, set up in 1935 by V.J. Jerome, recruited members, raised money from unwitting liberals, and used front groups such as the Hollywood Anti-Nazi League. Communists secretly dominated the Motion Picture Democratic Committee, which rejected a resolution proposed by Melvyn Douglas and Philip Dunne to condemn Stalin's invasion of Finland in late 1939, as Dunne later recalled.
