Hollywood Blacklist, and Return
Buchman's refusal to provide the names of American Communist Party members to the House Un-American Activities Committee led to a charge of contempt of Congress. Buchman was fined, given a year's suspended sentence, and was then blacklisted by the Hollywood movie studio bosses.
Buchman would return to screenwriting in the 1960s, working on Cleopatra (1963) and The Group (1966).
