writer, family man and socialite, he was also a man who had
specific ideals and as Roach would say, was “a communistic
capitalist, and a capitalistic communist!”
During a recent CinéArts interview, Roach elaborated on
the duality of Dalton Trumbo, and how capturing this
man’s story was a perfect match for his skill set. “This movie
completely reflects the persona of Dalton Trumbo.
“He was an incredibly serious and driven man, a sometimes
passionate and zealous person. Yet he was extremely witty
and he barely let a moment go by where he wasn’t saying
something serious then undercutting it with a quip of some
sort. He was a great orator and debater. He did a lot of public
speaking so he knew that you could never let your message
get too serious, too precious or too strident. I tried to have
the film reflect his philosophy of communication because
that’s who he was.”
To get an idea of the man who was Trumbo, there’s a telling
scene between Trumbo (Bryan Cranston) and Arlen Hird
(Louis C.K.). While watching his family play on his ranch,
clearly reveling in the spoils that success has brought him,
Trumbo dissects his pragmatism in being both a radical
and capitalist. When Hird admonishes him for this duality,
Trumbo revels even further by pointing out that “a radical
will fight with the purity of Jesus, but the rich guy wins with
the cunning of Satan!” That fact wasn’t lost on Roach.
HOLLYWOOD DURING THE
BLACKLIST IN TRUMBO
Director Jay Roach Brings a Controversial Show Business Story to Life
By Frank Gonzales
D
irector Jay Roach’s resume is filled with some of the most entertaining
comedies of the past twenty years. Films like the Austin Powers trilogy and
the Meet The Fockers movies have indelibly placed his talent among the
best working in the comedy field. So it’s with more than a little surprise that one of
this fall’s highly touted historical films, Trumbo, is being directed by someone who
would not be on everyone’s short list of awards season directors. But comedy and
Roach’s ties to it isn’t all of the story, just like the tale of Dalton Trumbo wasn’t all
black and white.
For those unfamiliar with the story of Dalton Trumbo and the Hollywood
blacklisting scandal of the 1940s and ‘50s, it would serve to have some perspective
on the man and the times. It was a time of unprecedented paranoia in the United
States: The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) was brought about
to root out supposed subversive Communist sympathizers from all walks of life.
Many Americans were brought to the committee and were faced with a terrible
predicament: admit to being a Communist and be outright blacklisted from work,
society and the pursuit of your livelihood; or deny your past and name names of
those who were. Truly, it was a black time indeed.
With that backdrop Hollywood was targeted with a scrutinizing eye. Many felt that
subversives were using the cover of Hollywood to inject their Communist beliefs
on the nation. A group of ten writers, directors and producers, the most vocal of
whom was Trumbo, would be labelled as “The Hollywood Ten,” blacklisted for
not acquiescing to HUAC’s interrogation, thrown in jail, and refused work by the
studios.
Dalton Trumbo was Hollywood’s golden writer. A man who was renowned for
his ability to write some of the industry’s best and well known films, some written
while sitting in the bath tub. But at the same time he was super successful as a
6 | CINEARTS.COM
“He was not consistent and he was not dogmatic either. Being
dogmatic was the stereotype of anyone who got caught up
in the Communist party during those times. In those days
they were seen as humorless, a person who is an anti-snob
and ironically, would turn their nose up at any visible wealth.
But he was not that.
“Trumbo’s membership with the communist party was
complicated because he joined during the war when we
were allies with the Soviet Union. He was very pro-workers’
rights, and very anti-Fascist, so a lot of what he did, along
with his peers, was done because of pressure from those
peers. It was either ‘put up or shut up. If you mean it,
then get involved.’ So Trumbo had a complicated choice
because his predicament was not a particularly pure form
of commitment in either direction. That made him really
interesting.”
The director then worked with his screenwriter John
McNamara to show not just the conflict that Trumbo was
faced with in life, but to do it in a way that would seem
out of norm for telling a dramatic story. So humor was
introduced to really make the point of how all of these
lives were affected, negatively and positively. Through this
masterstroke, this duality again played itself out onscreen.
“Trumbo and the Hollywood Ten all had complexities; and
they were real people too. So I thought it would be fake to
tell a story like this and not include humor because that

Kennedy Goes to the Movies:
The History Behind Trumbo
By Peter Bowen
O
n February 5, 1961, a headline in
The New York Times announced,
“Kennedy Attends Movie in
Capital.” For most readers, this rather
innocuous item might have gone unnoticed.
The story tells how the President of the United
States, on the recommendation of his brother,
Robert F. Kennedy, made an unexpected trip
to Washington, D.C.’s Warner Theater to catch
an evening screening of the Hollywood epic
Spartacus. But to more attentive readers, this
event marked a seismic shift in the politics that
had ruled Hollywood for over a decade. Spartacus
was one of the first films to defy the Hollywood
blacklist by listing screenwriter Dalton Trumbo
in its film credits. And President Kennedy, by
going to the movies, had stood up to the tyranny
of those who wanted the blacklist to continue.
Kennedy’s trip to see Spartacus is just
one of the many extraordinary moments in
Jay Roach’s historical drama Trumbo. In 1947,
Dalton Trumbo (played by Bryan Cranston)
went from being one of the highest-paid
screenwriters in Hollywood to an outcast
when he refused to name names before the
House Un-American Activities Committee
(HUAC). As part of the Hollywood Ten, a
group of film professionals who stood up to
HUAC’s proceedings on First Amendment
grounds, Trumbo was found guilty of contempt
of Congress and sentenced to a year in a federal
penitentiary. After Trumbo’s conviction, things
went from bad to worse. In 1947, the heads of
Hollywood’s major studios signed the Waldorf
Statement, agreeing that not only would they
fire the Hollywood Ten, but would not hire
anyone who did not declare “under oath that he
is not a Communist.”
By the end of the Fifties, as the Cold War
warmed up a few degrees, a few filmmakers
and studios were willing to push back against
the blacklist. After secretly hiring Trumbo
to adapt Howard Fast’s best-selling novel
of ancient Rome, “Spartacus,” into a film,
the film’s producer and star, Kirk Douglas
(Dean O’Gorman) officially listed Dalton
Trumbo in the credits. The film industry, which
had lived in the shadow of the blacklist for
over a decade, stood back to see what would
happen next. Reaction was swift. The American
Legion rallied its forces, sending out notices to
its 17,000 posts asking war veterans to protest
Spartacus because of Trumbo’s participation.
The American Legion Magazine asked, “Will
Communists regain their former foothold in the
American motion-picture industry?” Trumbo’s
most vitriolic opponent, Hedda Hopper, told
her readers, “the screen script was written by
a Commie, so don’t go see it.” But despite the
threat of a boycott and the existence of picketing
protestors in Los Angeles and Washington,
D.C., people came out in droves to see
Spartacus. Indeed, there were reports from New
York and Los Angeles that audiences burst into
spontaneous applause when Dalton Trumbo’s
name appeared during Spartacus’ opening
credits. But perhaps the final nail in the coffin
was President Kennedy’s appearance at a public
screening of Spartacus. When he told reporters
on his way out that he found the movie “fine,”
it was a comment that was heard in offices of
studio heads around the film world.

Coxon muses, “The idea that a story like this
has been swept away by the turbulent tide of

light was fascinating to me. It seems to me
like we had a great opportunity to keep it in

The screenwriter is glad to place this story on
a wider platform and is eager to tell the world
about this couple. “They were really kind of
pioneers. We’re in a different place now and I
think the younger generation takes this stuff
for granted. But I think there are still many
people who might be familiar with the idea
and may be more open to the idea – and this
will probably be the first drama which they
will see that tackles the subject.”
Does Coxon fear that all of the talk about

discourage moviegoers from revisiting a story
from nearly ninety years ago? She says, “I
know that this movie is not just about that.
And I think people are smart enough to see
beyond that.
“We are incredibly fortunate to be bringing

an appetite for it. Especially for a great story

the movie Mary Poppins and the Mrs. Banks
character. Gavron had work to do to change
minds. “That stereotype is very much in many
people’s heads whether they realize it or not.
“Beyond a few iconic images, not much is
really known by the majority of people except
what they remember from Mary Poppins. So
we wanted to challenge that and reveal the
true extent of the movement.
“What the movement did was bring together
all of these women from all walks of life. So
aristocrats were going side by side into prison
with working women. That was rather unique,
this cross-class combination in a society that
was so class-driven at the time.”
Morgan had the unenviable task of making
this struggle by women of all classes one
that could be identified with by the modern
woman, and men, of today. “You want an
audience to come in and go ‘It could have
been me;’ to understand what it took our
grandmothers to fight.
“In a way, at the beginning it felt like trying
to squeeze a very curvy lady into a very
skinny dress. But it became a process of
really wanting to try and work out the most
distinctive way to tell this story. I wanted to
try to make it as accessible and direct, and as
vital and contemporary as possible, taking
the actual accounts of these women, which
inspired me the most.”
Once the film moved into production they
set about making the period come alive. But
recreating early 20th century London proved
to be another challenge. The director and her
production staff scoured any likely or unlikely
spot to place a set. “Locations were a big
challenge,” Gavron remembered.
“We started early on because the London
of 1912 had largely disappeared. Sadly the
East London tenements were bombed in the
blitzkrieg, so they gentrified what was left
but still, we had to work with visual effects to
make it look authentic.
“The laundry which you see in the film was
actually an old basketball court that had
been deserted. Our Production Designer
Alice Normington, much credit goes to her,
managed to create the laundry. Where we
did the window smashing on that central
London street we had to close it down, dress
it in a night, film it in a day, then get out! So
creating period London is not easy!”
An unprecedented piece of luck did come
their way, as Gavron excitedly recalled. “We
also had access to the Houses of Parliament!
“We were the first crew ever allowed in, which
was really a dream come true, because this
was the epicenter of lots of battles for the
women. We were able to stage a riot in New
Palace Yard, and bring in horses and period
cars and lots of artists and stunts. To do that
in the very place that barred women for so
long was quite an achievement.”
Then a list of top-shelf actresses were needed
to inhabit these characters. Morgan and
Gavron were excited to have Carey Mulligan
step into the pivotal role of Maud, alongside
Garai, Helena Bonham Carter, AnneMarie Duff, and Meryl Streep. Morgan,
who previously worked with many of these
actresses, loved the collaborative process they
brought to the project. “I don’t mind actresses

she’d say that.’ So that relationship is exciting.” in the end we came back to personal accounts.
For Gavron the heart of the movie started and “There is an incredible body of research so by
ended with Carey Mulligan. “We focused in going to old stories and photos and accounts
on her very early. Once we identified Maud you could see the hostile acts and you could

The director then complemented Mulligan the last decade or less. For the director this

THE TORONTO REPORT
A Look at the Big Surprises From This Year’s Festival
By Cara Lyon
Oh, the spectacular festivities of film. It may seem odd to the casual fan, but the metropolis of Toronto, Canada has become a
thriving haven for the film industry. Both film enthusiasts and those in the industry flock to the Toronto International Film
Festival each year to find the newest and freshest voices in cinema. Our CinéArts team has been hard at work viewing films
small and large in Toronto to show in our theatres. The following films are very likely to receive critical and commercial
success in the future, so take notes!
Trumbo
Director: Jay Roach
Starring: Bryan Cranston, Helen Mirren, Diane Lane
Synopsis: Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) stars as the
famous screenwriter and Hollywood blacklist victim Dalton
Trumbo, in this engrossing biopic co-starring Helen Mirren,
Elle Fanning, Diane Lane and John Goodman about the
famous Hollywood Communist witch hunt.
Review: With a cast led by Bryan Cranston, Diane Lane
and Helen Mirren, the true story of Dalton Trumbo will
please both art and commercial audiences alike in this 60’s
piece on the House of Un-American Activities Committee
proceedings. Cranston is intriguing as the maverick writer
who defies the witch hunting times.
The Danish Girl
Director: Tom Hooper
Starring: Eddie Redmayne, Alicia Vikander, Amber Heard
Synopsis: Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne (The
Theory of Everything) stars as Lili Elbe, the 1920s Danish artist
who was one of the first recipients of sexual reassignment
surgery, in this biopic directed by Oscar winner Tom Hooper
(The King’s Speech).
Review: Eddie Redmayne’s performance is unsurprisingly
strong coming off of his Academy Award win for The Theory
of Everything. It would be no surprise to see him nominated
again this year for this 1920s transgender period piece. He is
extremely stylish and endearing as his alter ego Lily.
Demolition
Director: Jean-Marc Vallée
Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Naomi Watts, Heather Lind
Synopsis: Grief-stricken after a family tragedy, a New
York investment banker (Jake Gyllenhaal) engages in
random acts of destruction, in the highly anticipated
new film by Jean-Marc Vallée (Dallas Buyers Club,
Wild).
Review: Another strong film from Jean-Marc Vallée
to follow up Wild and Dallas Buyers Club. Like those
films, Demolition has a way of dealing with difficult
subject matters without ever feeling melodramatic
or unrealistic. Following in the steps of Nightcrawler,
Jake Gyllenhaal is cast as a profoundly out-of-step
protagonist with the culture around him. One of the
better films at the Toronto Film Festival.
Spotlight
Director: Tom McCarthy
Starring: Mark Ruffalo, Live Schreiber, Rachel
McAdams, Michael Keaton
Synopsis: The true story of how the Boston Globe
uncovered the massive scandal of child molestation
and cover-up within the local Catholic Archdiocese,
shaking the entire Catholic Church to its core.
Review: This fact-based drama featuring an ensemble
full of A-list names is sure to strike up conversation
and leave you thinking. It is a dense but ultimately
satisfying drama. The viewer must participate in some
heavy lifting to follow the complex narrative, but it is
well worth the effort.
Where to Invade Next
Director: Michael Moore
Synopsis: Academy Award-winning director Michael
Moore returns with what may be his most provocative
and hilarious film yet: Moore tells the Pentagon to
“stand down” — he will do the invading for America
from now on.
Review: Despite the title of the film, it is not about
war but rather cultures from around the world and how
they take care of their citizenry. Depending on your
affection for Michael Moore you will either love it or
loathe it.

Theatre Spotlight:
CinéArts Santana Row
By Andy Anderson
I
sn’t film great? Here within the CinéArts team, we certainly
think so. Some pictures simply capture what it means to be
a “one in a kind film”. Something like The Grand Budapest
Hotel was considered an instant classic once it premiered, and the
film lovers who got to see it first knew they were in a special “in
the know” group. The CinéArts Santana Row in San Jose, CA is a
haven for these types of fans.
This unique cinema is the first place to witness future Oscar
contenders like The Imitation Game, Her, and Blue Jasmine in
the area. When you hear about the “buzz” that is film is getting,
it originates at a place like the CinéArts Santana Row.
The theatre is located in one of the finest shopping centers
in Northern California, providing a great opportunity for
audiences to enjoy their evening. There are literally dozens of
high end restaurants and retail shops within walking distance of
the theatre. CinéArts Santana Row is one of the key destinations
in this trendy lifestyle center.
As a film junkie, you know you’re at home walking through the
doors of the theater at Santana Row. The floor to ceiling glass
windows and giant classic movie posters are inviting you inside.

Whether you are there for an event like the San Jose International
Short Film Festival or there to see an art film like Carol, you know
you’re in good hands.
