i think it was his utter unregeneracy and a general slipperiness of character re Sterling Hayden: he was deeply conflicted about testifying went to a psychotherapist who unbeknownst to him was a hireling of HUAC and or the FBI this piece of work persuaded him -- and several other characters -- that it would morally appropriate for them to name names as a result of his testimony, Hayden as I recall went into a very deep depression which nearly ruined his career years later he was haunted by the event mentioned it in his autobiography and evinced his hatred of what he had done and for the doctor I myself thought it was utterly inappropriate 1 for the award to be given and 2 for Kazan to have a standing ovation what a craven bunch hrgreenberg md endit ---- Screen-L is sponsored by the Telecommunication & Film Dept., the University of Alabama: http://www.tcf.ua.edu
