So... now that the little-seen (and not on VHS/DVD) Walk East on Beacon! has had its TCM airing, I'm
interesting in hearing people's reaction to Boston's unwitting contribution to the early 1950s' Red Scare. Let's get some comments going here.
Also--sales pitch time--click on the PayPal rectangular box on the right sidebar to take advantage of the $16 Summer website special on the book.
My grandfather made this movie. I am a techno-dinosaur, so I can't get into your comments or whatever they are. It is just so interesting that Grandaddy's work is still showed. There was alot more to it than you all are talking about. Sarah

It was a fine film demonstrating the the very real domestic communist threat in Boston and the Northeast.

My grandfather, Rev Robert Dunn, was a friend of Mr. Derochemont and was an actor in this movie. Perhaps a more famous Derochemont movie is 'Lost Boundaries' in which Rev. Robert Dunn plays a minister.
