No cast credits
No reason that makes any rational sense can explain why there are no cast credits
in this documentary All The Way Home. Nothing rational by today's standards.
But this was the era of the blacklist in Hollywood and I recognized in the cast the presence of Art Smith who was on Hollywood's blacklist I imagine that others in the cast were New York based players and some might have had a similar blacklist problem.
The film itself concerns housing discrimination and the subtle de facto racism behind it. Production values are sparse and the message is as subtle s being hit on the head with a ballpine hammer. Still the message is as real today as it was in the 50s.
