The Front (1976) is a critically acclaimed film that delves into the controversial Hollywood blacklist of the 1950s. Written by Walter Bernstein, directed by Martin Ritt, and starring Woody Allen, Zero Mostel, and Michael Murphy, the movie expertly depicts the harsh realities faced by those accused of Communist sympathies during the height of the anti-Communist investigations by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). The film also sheds light on the practice of using "fronts" - individuals who passed off their work as their own to avoid blacklisting. The story follows Howard Prince, a restaurant cashier and small-time bookie, who agrees to be a "front" for his blacklisted friend in exchange for a percentage of the profits. But as the pressure and consequences of being blacklisted intensify, Howard must make a stand against the unjust accusations and invasive questioning of the HUAC. With a stellar cast and gripping plot, The Front is a compelling and thought.
