Woody Allen's "The Front" is a good start on the McCarthy era. Not the typical Allen movie where he plays the psychotic that I have come to believe all New Yorkers are. This is more similar to the "Danny Rose" movie in some respects (and only some). Also, I have seen a documentary with excerpts from the actual hearings, in a journalism class I took ~5 yr ago. Edited, of course (you don't want to hear countless days of testimony). I don't know the name of the film, though. If you absolutely want something documentary, I will try and search the name and address of the professor whose class I was in. Also, I think the US still is in a type of a McCarthy era, why are you talking in the past tense? But that's a very long story, better taken to another discussion group (maybe).
