Actually, no, you don't do what Hitler told you to do. If she had a gun to her head and *absolutely* had to co-operate, she should have at least done a piss-poor movie.

To make "High Art" in the service of such a criminal is deplorable.

Elia Kazan, however... He may have caved in to pressure in Senate chambers and had a brief period of weakness. That in itself might not be enough to totally override his good points.

Did he ever discuss his involvement? Did he regret his actions? A lot of my opinion would ride on his own interpretation of his failings.
