    I never heard of Kazan until now but he does sound like an asshole.

    Still, I always liked Guzman and he seems like a very chill, real dude here. Hopefully he likes the film for other reasons than Kazan’s politics, although now I’m interested to watch it for myself. But I’ll check out Ballad and Cooley High based off his recommendation too!

    There’s a Criterion 50% off sale at Barnes & Noble going on right now if you want to pick up something.

    Oops meant to reply initally so commented twice.

      Guzman is a Bernie guy, so while not a socialist I also doubt he’s a fervent anti-communist. I imagine likes it for the craft and didn’t really notice the anti-union tropes. Re: Balland and Cooley high, they’re on my list now too.
