A hearing of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in the United States, under Congressman J. Parnell Thomas (the "Thomas Committee") . People seated during the hearing. Hollywood director and screenwriter Herbert Biberman is questioned about his occupation in the Screen Writer's Guild and his affiliation with the Communist Party. Biberman begins his response and does not directly or quickly answer the question, which draws an angry, heated response from J. Parnell Thomas pounding a gavel, shouting from Congressman Thomas and from Robert Stripling, and demanding an answer. Biberman is subsequently asked, "are you or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party" and Biberman begins a response in which he decries the work of the committee and its negative effects on the Hollywood film industry. Biberman, one of the "Hollywood Ten," is dismissed from the stand.
