> You’re a little confused here. Elia Kazan appeared before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1952. Joseph McCarthy was in the Senate, never in the House, and did not pursue Hollywood figures.

Actually, this has been misconstrued throughout the years. Kazan cooperated with _Charlie_ McCarthy, in the infamous Mortimer Snerd Hearings of 1948.
