Un-American


         In a Lonely Place is often read as an allegorical treatment of the culture of suspicion that prevailed in Hollywood during the HUAC period. The Prowler is a tough, socially grounded crime film that critiques the skewed postwar culture of materialist aspiration ; it was the product of a left-wing director and writers who would soon become blacklist exiles.
