I love Panic in the Streets, which has an especial resonance right now....I also love that you gave Kazan a smile and a nod. I bet that's a moment that stayed with him. And finally, you're absolutely right. Just about everyone would have named everybody they knew to stay out of prison. I just watched a pretty good Dmytryk film for the first time, the Western "Shalako," with Sean Connery, Brigitte Bardot, and Woody Strode. The plot kind of reminds me of your story. These pampered royals are on a hunting tour across the West and trespass on reservation land, but rather than leave when they can, they scoff at the idea that the Indians would be able to do anything to them.
What’s sad about Dymytryk is that many more people know about his naming names than do his time served. In Arizona. And I wish more people would watch Kazan’s movies instead of judging him. Thanks again for your series.
