Synopsis

Renowned chronicler of our times, Studs Terkel, will host an evening devoted to the words and wit of Dalton Trumbo, legendary screenwriter of such classics as Roman Holiday, Spartacus, Exodus and Johnny Got His Gun. Trumbo's passion for the written word and his refusal to be silenced come alive in letters written during and after his blacklisting as one of the "Hollywood Ten." Following a reading of Trumbo by Studs Terkel and Ross Lehman, Terkel will cap off the evening with commentary about his own experience with the blacklist.
