One of the Hollywood Ten Plot Summary
What happens in One of the Hollywood Ten from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
The film opens at the 1937 Academy Awards, Gale Sondergaard, Greta Scacchi, wins the first-ever Best Supporting Actress Oscar. Her acceptance speech, read by some as a bold anti-Fascist gesture, sparks controversy and she and her husband, Herbert Biberman Jeff Goldblum, are soon placed under contract at Warner Bros. The mounting anxiety of the era lands squarely on Biberman’s Jewish identity as much as on his political leanings, and a broader circle of Hollywood artists—Biberman, Sondergaard, and others from the left-leaning fringes—find themselves scrutinized as the climate grows colder.
