Watched an American Masters documentary on the blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo. A fascinating portrait of a man who stood by his principles in a difficult time and paid the price for it.
But unlike other AM profiles this one had famous actors--Michael Douglas, Paul Giamatti, Liam Neeson--perform excerpts from Trumbo's funny, lyrical and philosophical letters. It shouldn't have worked but it did, maybe because he was such a vivid writer.
