I'm sorry, I missed this one first time through. You have heard most of what
you might want to know except that he, the director, was not a fellow-traveling
hack and, therefore, was rejected by many of the left to whom his
independent-mindedness was anathema, but this was much later in his life.
Remember, I did say proofread and spellchecked. If you're interested in any of
the directors, you can find out what movies they directed in the filmography.
I hope you enjoyed the book as much as I did.

I was pretty sure I knew in general who it was but I
wanted to be sure, so I googled. Here's the first
paragraph from the Wikipedia article: "was an American
film director who was amongst the Hollywood Ten, a
group of blacklisted film industry professionals who
served time in prison for being in contempt of
Congress during the McCarthy-era 'red scare'."
I knew he was a director--famous and excellent--and
older generation, so you wouldn't know--but I didn't
know he was one of the Hollywood 10.
Here's a quoted paragraph from another source:"EDWARD
DMYTRYK'S 53 MOVIES reflect the spectrum of the
American experience. He tackled prejudice and mass
psychology, explored psychopathic crime, human rights
issues in wartime, and the Western myth. Through his
films, one can see how Americans thought, how we
reacted to social and moral issues, and how being such
a diverse people has strengthened us as a nation.
Dmytryk traveled many dark roads in his own life, and
he showed us those labyrinthian paths in his movies."
He died at the age of 90.
(Be careful what you ask here. I get carried away,
something my daughters didn't like but their friends
appreciated. Plus, when they were little, they got
bored with my explanations and therefore I never got
the continuous "Why," "Why..." one answer was enough
for them to quit.
