What if there were a list? A list that said: Our finest actors weren't allowed to act. Our best writers aren't allowed to write. Our funniest comedians aren't allowed to make us laugh. What would it be like if there were such a list? It would be like America in 1953. In 1953, a cashier poses as a writer for blacklisted talents to submit their work through, but the injustice around him pushes him to take a stand.

Drama directed by Martin Ritt and starring Woody Allen, Zero Mostel and Andrea Marcovicci. Set during the early fifties at the time of Joseph McCarthy's communist witch-hunt, Howard Prince (Allen) is a restaurant cashier who is asked to 'front' for several blacklisted television writers by submitting their scripts under his name. At first, being politically uninterested, Howard does this in order to pay off his gambling debts. But as he becomes more personally involved with the writers and their work he starts questioning the system that is driving these writers underground.
