Roman Holiday as an Allegry: Dalton Trumbo in His "Blacklist" Era
NAKAO Shinichi
Memoirs of Faculty of Education and Human Studies Akita University Humanities & Social Sciences No. 78 ( Akita University ) 2023.02
Research paper (university bulletin, research institution) Single author
Roman Holiday (1953) is one of the most important works by Dalton Trumbo as a screenwriter in his “blacklist" era. Based on It Happened One Night (1934), directed by Frank Capra, Trumbo wrote a story about a princess escaping from her loyal family and a journalist trying to write an article about her. There are some differences between both films, while they share one important theme: each main character has a good "virtue". Trumbo consistently kept emphasizing this quality of “virtue" in his works. By defending the value of “virtue" in Roman Holiday, he fiercely denounced and protested the system of the “blacklist" which expelled many talented filmmakers from Hollywood in the 1950s.

Film as a Political Allegory: The Chance That Was Taken on Spartacus
NAKAO Shinichi
Memoirs of Faculty of Education and Human Studies Akita University Humanities & Social Sciences No. 77 ( Akita University ) ( 77 ) 2022.03
Research paper (university bulletin, research institution) Single author
“Blacklist" in Hollywood in 1950's excluded many filmmakers such as screenwriters, directors, and actors, from their jobs. When the film Spartacus was exhibited to the public in 1960, Dalton Trumbo, one of the most famous blacklisted individuals, broke the blacklist by showing his own name as its screenwriter on the screen. In this essay, we will discuss how “breaking the blacklist" happened and what the event meant to Hollywood movie industry and American society in that time. And we will explore the meaning of “allegorical significance" that Trumbo implied in the film by comparing the Spartacus story of slave revolt in the ancient Rome with Trumbo's experiences and thoughts while he was in the blacklist.
