Talk:Budd Schulberg

Former communist
Was he a former communist party member? JJstroker 05:55, 19 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes. http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/schulbe.htm says: "In 1947 the House of Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) started its investigations in the Hollywood Motion Picture Industry. A screenwriter named Schulberg as a former member of the Communist Party - he had left the party about in 1940. "My opposition to communists and Soviet dictatorship is a matter of record," Schulberg wrote in his telegram to HUAC."


 * A source for his 1951 HUAC appearance:


 * Trussell, C. P. (1951) "Schulberg Tells of Red Dictation: Move To Control His Writing Cause Him to Leave Party, Novelist Says in Inquiry," The New York Times, May 24, 1951, p. 16:


 * Budd Schulberg, novelist, testified voluntarily before the House Committee on Un-American Activities today that he became a Communist during the late Nineteen Thirties but quit the party when it tried to dictate what he should write.

I came to this page to find out about the consequences of his testimony, on his career and on the lives of those he "named" but there is scant conversation here (unlike the discussion on Elia Kazan's entry). I think it deserves more consideration. 63.143.213.245 (talk) 20:55, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Nürnberg
It should be mentioned Schulberg's role in gathering documentation for the Nürnberg trial.

Thanks for the reminder. I added a paragraph. Rarmin (talk) 14:28, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

German-speaking?
Schulberg's ethnic heritage and war service suggest that he might have been bilingual, but the article is mute on the subject. Can anyone add and ref this detail, if a fact? Laodah 17:29, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
