Arthur Miller, Elia Kazan and the Blacklist: None Without Sin

Director Elia Kazan and playwright Arthur Miller were once best friends and professional colleagues, to most that knew them then in both capacities as soul mates. Their politics were similar which was reflected in their work. Kazan was a Communist Party member for a few years in the mid-1930's, but Miller never officially joined the party ranks. Their relationship changed in the early 1950's when Kazan was subpoenaed to testify in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee where he named names of Communist Party members past and present.

Directed by Michael Epstein, Arthur Miller, Elia Kazan and the Blacklist: None Without Sin leans on a strong ensemble — Elia Kazan, Arthur Miller, Walter Bernstein — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about history titles of 2003.
