This is the name of the group in the House of Representatives that, in 1947, began hearings to expose communist infiltration in American life. This refers to people who were accused of being communist in the 1950s and were prevented from making movies for years afterward. It was characterized by widespread fears of Communist influence on U.S. society and Communist infiltration of the U.S. government. This was the belief that if one land in a region came under the influence of communists, then more would follow.
