Storm Center
Who really set the town aflame?...
Directed by Daniel Taradash
Produced by Julian Blaustein Productions Ltd., Columbia Pictures
A tense 1950s drama about intellectual freedom and McCarthyist persecution, where a librarian's principled stand against censorship isolates her from her community.
Politicians go after a small-town librarian when she refuses to ban a book. She's quickly labeled a Communist.
