I feel like this article is glossing over Kazan’s decision to testify to HUAC; it claims that he did so “under pressure” but his decision to do so came after he witnessed a brutal struggle session that one of his friends, Albert Maltz, underwent after penning a critical article of propagandists in Hollywood.
As it stands, the article is suggesting Kazan was strongarmed into testimony he freely gave.
