I was wracking my brains about why the name Losey was so familiar. He directed The Boy with Green Hair. I was so young when i first saw it that I was convinced I had dreamed it until it was programmed into a festival many years later.
(I was sort of disappointed to find out that I didn't dream it)
i cant recall if ive seen it as an adult on tcm. never saw when i was young. seems pretty intense for ostensibly a kids movie but im sure pre-tv you could sneak through a few message movies. interestingly in the article it says hughes, who bought rko mid-production, had planned to make i married a communist as his next picture which one of the previous articles i posted said he used to root out "communists" at the studio. if someone refused to work on the project it was presumed they had communist sympathies which eventually led to losey being blackballed and leaving america.
