The Front The Front is a 1976 film directed by Martin Ritt and starring Woody Allen and Zero Mostel. The film presented one perspective of the United States entertainment industry in the days of McCarthyism when many actors were blacklisted for their supposed "subversive" activities following an investigation by the House Committee on Un-American Activities. The screenplay was written by Walter Bernstein, himself a victim of the Hollywood blacklist, as was Ritt and cast members Mostel and Herschel Bernardi. Walter Bernstein was blacklisted after his name was listed in the “Red Channels,” which was a journal put out by the FBI that listed names of Communists or Communist sympathizers.
