<p>Saw this documentary last night and highly recommend it. I felt very ill informed since I had never heard of Gertrude Berg, the radio show, the television show or the movie. She is a fascinating woman. The film also highlights a very disturbing time in our history - the blacklisting of entertainers.</p>
<p>It’s coming to my town on October 25, as part of a Jewish book month event. I’ve had it marked on my calendar for weeks, as I’ve heard it’s really well done.</p>
<p>The film is very well done and I highly recommend it. I don’t recall the show since I was pretty young when it first aired. Saw the film near my hometown and just took my mom to see it. she, or course, recalls the tv show and really enjoyed the film.</p>
<p>I grew up in a place where kids of the Hollywood 10 and the informed upon went to school. The administration was smart enough (except for one notable exception) to keep the kids apart. I don’t know the show (probably from the 50s?) but I’d love to see the film.</p>
<p>I heard the filmaker interviewed on NPR a few weeks ago. Although I knew of Gertrude Berg, I never knew much about her. The film sounds wonderful. I can’t wait to see it (although I’ll probably have to wait for Netflix).</p>
