Talk:Edward Dmytryk

Othographically challenging name
Just a comment. Edward Dmytryk must have one of the most misspelled names - after Joe Btfsplk that is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gerry246 (talk • contribs) 23:47, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

communist propaganda in his films?
In this version (the current revision as of this writing), towards the end of the second paragraph of the section Work, Hollywood Ten, HUAC, it says:

Can someone give me any examples for this? Which films of his were affected, and what scenes? (Also, if you have good sources, please include the information in the article.)

 * He didnt claim he succumbed to this pressure.Spitzak (talk) 14:52, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, this does not negate the fact that he could simply lie for the general conjuncture, so what does it mean that "After the war, many Americans were alarmed by the Cold War actions of the Soviet Union in central and western Europe, magnified by reports of covert communist activity in the U.S.." Why then did so many Americans join the Communist Party or had a positive and neutral attitude towards communism and socialism, why then it was necessary to pursue a policy of McCarthyism in America, well, not only the USSR but also the USA were involved in a tough foreign policy then, the Cold War still unfolded and the countries were engaged in aggressive policy mutually, so this paragraph seems unnecessary and delusional to me, to be honest 37.54.230.242 (talk) 21:33, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I suspect some editor does not like the negative connotations of "mccarthyism" and/or "HUAC" and is spewing this wordage to try to say there were people in favor of them. Spitzak (talk) 00:46, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
