Guilty By Suspicion - David
Merrill (Robert De Niro), a fictitious 1950s Hollywood Director,
returns from filming abroad in France to find that his loyalty has
been called into question by the House Committee on Un-American
Activities, and he is unable to work until cleared. Before being
called, his highest priority had been his work to the extent of
leaving his wife (Annette Bening) and son (Luke Edwards) alone for several months at a time. He
initially refuses to implicate others or himself in a private
meeting with Roy Cohn and a studio lawyer. This decision initially
to stick to his principles first leaves him unable to work in his
profession, even with films and producers he never would have
worked with before. Harassment by the F.B.I. leaves him unable to
work on Broadway, with advertising agencies, or even in a small
film repair shop. Finally, having fallen so far, and tempted with a
new offer to direct a film from his old studio (if he testifies),
he agrees to go before the Committee, initially planning to name
his friends. But when confronted with the cruel and tyrannical

realizes that there is a higher priority in his life. There is
standing up for what is right, and in doing so, he inspires friends
and family to do the same.
