Talk:John Cromwell (director)

biased
This is pretty hilarious

By this point, the House Un-American Activities Committee, goaded by Senator Joseph McCarthy, had begun its witch-hunt of Hollywood artists, actors and directors - essentially a right-wing Republican-dominated punishment of every talented liberal in the movie business who had supported FDR and fought American isolationism, which refused pointblank to join the battle against Nazism in the 30's and 40's.[5]

witch hunt, right wing republican ... punishment of every talented liberal

no, not biased at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.164.96.226 (talk) 19:12, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Full of editorializing
The political commentary noted above has been toned down, but the article is still full of editorializing. I probably can't rewrite the whole thing at present, but I'm going to try to knock out or rewrite some of the worst moments. Most of it seems to be from this series of edits by a recurring IP user: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Cromwell_%28director%29&type=revision&diff=687700760&oldid=671985506 It's entirely too chummy, but there may be stuff worth saving in there. I won't try to manually undo all that. After cleaning up a bunch of the most egregious, and separable, bits, I tagged the article with the 'refimprove' and 'fansite' templates.
