History






Movies and television during the Cold War

During the Cold War, the government needed to control what was being shown in the media. As such, there was the Hollywood blacklist, a list of screenwriters, actors, directors, musicians, that were denied employment due to their affiliations.

Part of the list:

• Orson Bean - Actor and humorist known more for his TV appearances.

• Walter Bernstein - Nominated for an Oscar for writing The Front, the Woody Allen/Martin Ritt film about the blacklist.

• Peter Brocco - The late character actor appeared in 90 films between 1932 and 1991.

It seemed that people hated hot wars, especially nuclear wars. This gave quite a lot pressure to governments of super powers to prevent them from starting hot wars. As a result the citizens’ attitudes could have indirectly caused the Cold War. Besides, there are not only conflicts between great powers, but also contradictions between media and governments. Media wanted to show the disadvantages and the seamy side of the Cold War while leaders tried to use media to show their authority. In general, everyone should be blamed for the Cold War.
