Guilty by Suspicion

A Witch hunt has begun. Not one of roving mobs prowling by torchlight. The hunters are politicians sitting before clicking cameras in HUAC hearing rooms. Hollywood is on trial. And David Merrill is asked to 'name names'.

Academy Award Winner Robert De Niro (Raging Bull 1980, Godfather 11 1974) and Academy Award nominee Annette Bening (American Beauty) headline Guilty By Suspicion.

This powerful directorial and screenwriting debut of veteran producer Irwin Winkler (Rocky, Raging Bull) vividly recreates the creative community's infamous 'Blacklist era' Robert De Niro plays Merrill, as an 'A List' director who can revive his stalled career by testifying against friends who are suspected communists and Annette Bening is Merrill's ex-wife, sharing the whirlpool of scandal that draws them together... as his chance to ever make movies again slips further away.

'Are you now or have you been' Guilty By Suspicion brings home the sting of those legendary words. It couldn't happen here. But it did.
