The Hollywood Ten is a 1950 American 16mm short documentary film. In the film, each member of the Hollywood Ten made a short speech denouncing McCarthyism and the Hollywood blacklisting.
The film was directed by John Berry. After being named a communist by fellow director and former party member Edward Dmytryk,[1] one of the Hollywood Ten, and by ex-Communist Party member Frank Tuttle,[2] Berry was unable to find work again in Hollywood after 1951, and left for France.[3]
The documentary is available on the DVD releases of Spartacus[4] and Salt of the Earth.
