Shelly Goldstein (chanteuse extraordinaire) just e-mailed to tell me that The Front just came out on DVD, and that it would be a dandy thing for me to put up this Amazon link so you can purchase it online. This is not why I brought up the movie but it's a fine idea. And while I'm at it, I'll tell a story I heard once about Zero Mostel and blacklisting. This was during the period when Mostel could not get hired for television or movies. One night, he's having a drink in some bar with an actor friend and the actor says, "I'm so miserable. I don't understand why I'm not working." Mostel replies, "Hey, I'm not working, either." And the actor friend answers him, "I know why you're not working. You're blacklisted. Why the hell am I not working?" That exchange is not in the movie but it should have been.
