In the late 40s the Hollywood industry suffered the infiltration of the Red (Communists) that wanted to disseminate the communist ideals by the world of entertainment in Hollywood. That started a hunt for any writer, director or author who gave signs of being a communist, and even thought there were some actual Reds in the world of Hollywood, most of the industry suffered from repression and prosecution without a real reason. That created a very tense atmosphere within the actors, writers and directors who were afraid to express themselves for they could end up banned from the industry. All this generated a severe lack of production and expression.
