The director Joseph Losey was black listed in Hollywood and had to resume his career in Europe where he made some of his best films. The Assassination of Trotsky is an interesting movie, worth seeing.

It's not for everyone. Among cinephiles Joseph Losey is highly regarded. His career in Hollywood was cut short when he was black listed, so he found work in England, alternating as a director for hire and working on personal projects, Losey always brought a certain visual flair to all his movies. As an expat film maker Losey's most highly regarded films are the ones he directed from screenplays by Harold Pinter.

I had a chance to read a review by and hear a discussion with Harold Robbins, who was the head of Trotsky's bodyguard and a leftist till the day he died. He said that the movie was a travesty of what happens and was distorted by Losey's form connection with the CPUSA.
