TCM Schedule for Tuesday, November 28: The Hollywood Blacklist
You owe it to yourself to see The Front, an entertaining, infuriating, devastating look at how actors and writers dealt with the blacklist. Bear in mind that real-life incidents are incorporated into the story, and that a number of blacklisted artists are right there in the project.
In the daytime there's a tribute to director Norman Z. McLeod, though it is not his birthday today.
