The Front may not be all you need to know about the 1950's blacklist tragedy, but it's certainly one of the finest films ever made on the subject.

The tragedy implied by this character tells us what we need to know about the blacklist's effect on people's lives; the rest of the movie adds almost nothing else.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Any reminder of the tribulations undergone by the blacklistees serves a useful and eye-opening purpose, but good intentions and a sense of martyrdom don't by themselves fill the glass.

Rating: B --
Although made by those who were punished by being blacklisted during that period, the film disappoints by being so politically mild.

An empty monument to the senility of American liberalism.

Time Out
It's human and more terrifying than any horror film because it could happen again.

It recreates the awful noise of ignorance that can still be heard.
