The film was produced by Bryan Foy who was head of Warners B picture unit until 1942.The film was based on a series of stories written by Matt Cvetic that appeared in The Saturday Evening Post. The stories were later turned into a best-selling book, and a radio show starring Dana Andrews that ran for 78 episodes from April 23, 1952, until October 14, 1953.The story follows Cvetic, who infiltrated a local Communist Party cell for nine years and reported back to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on their activities.The film and radio show are, in part, artifacts of the McCarthy era, as well as a time capsule of American society during the Second Red Scare. The purpose of both is partly to warn people about the threat of Communist subversion of American society. The tone of the show is ultra-patriotic, with Communists portrayed as racist, vindictive, and tools of a totalitarian foreign power, the Soviet Union.Matt Cvetic (Frank Lovejoy), who works in a Pittsburgh steel mill, has been infiltrating the Communist Party for the FBI in Pittsburgh for nine years. During this time he has been unable to tell his family about his dual role, so they assume that he is a genuine believer in communism and despise him.He becomes emotionally involved with a Communist school teacher (Dorothy Hart), who is becoming disenchanted with the party. She breaks with the party when it foments a violent strike. Cvetic helps her escape the Communists in violent sequences in which two Communists and an FBI agent are killed.Communists are portrayed in the film as cynical opportunists, racists who are interested only in seizing power on behalf of the Soviet Union. They are shown exploiting ethnic tensions to get their way, such as by wrapping copies of a Jewish newspaper around lead pipes used to beat up people during a strike. They also are shown fomenting discontent among blacks. They are shown as cynical racists, calling blacks "niggers" and Jews "kikes," and as violent thugs who kill informers.Cvetic ultimately testifies against the Communists before the House Un-American Activities Committee and reconciles with his brother and son.The radio version of I Was a Communist for the FBI consisted of 78 episodes syndicated by the Frederick W. Ziv Company to more than 600 stations, including KNX in Los Angeles, California, with original episodes running from March 30, 1952, to September 20, 1953. The program was made without the cooperation of the FBI. Real-life undercover agent Matt Cvetic was portrayed by Dana Andrews. The show had a budget of $12,000 per week, a very high cost to produce a radio show at the time.The program frequently dealt with the great stress that Cvetic was under, as he covertly infiltrated a local Communist Party cell. There were many personal and family problems caused by his being a Communist as well as a certain amount of mental torment. He saw the party as being hypocritical and a great danger to society.In 1953, Ziv created I Led Three Lives, based on the life of Herbert Philbrick, an advertising executive who also infiltrated the U.S. Communist Party on behalf of the FBI in the 1940s. This time, the FBI approved all of the show's scripts. ╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍ 1 A Riot Made to Order - 26:482 A Study in Oils - 26:593 A Suit for the Party - 25:414 Abby, as in Abbigale - 27:175 Against the Middle - 26:476 American Kremlin - 26:317 An Unamerican Activity - 27:148 Burnt Offering - 26:029 Canadian Crossfire - 27:4410 Card Game in the Clouds - 27:2211 Charter City Square Dance - 26:4212 Courier of Disaster - 26:4413 Double Exposure - 26:5414 Draw the Red Curtain - 27:2515 Exit on the Left - 28:4216 Fifteen Minutes to Murder - 27:1917 Forged Faces - 27:2518 Hate Song - 26:5419 Home Improvement - 26:5720 I Can't Sleep - 25:0721 I Walk Alone - 25:5922 Jump to the Whip - 27:0123 Kangaroo Court - 27:1824 Little Boy Blue Turned Red - 26:3825 Little Boy Red - 27:0826 No Second Chance - 27:3527 No Visitors - 26:4528 One Way Ticket - 26:4429 Panic Plan - 26:4230 Pennies from the Dead - 26:4831 Pit Viper - 26:3332 Red Clay - 27:4833 Red Clouds on the Good Earth - 27:1634 Red Gold - 27:1135 Red Red Herring - 25:4936 Red Rover, Red Rover - 27:0237 Rhapsody in Red - 27:4238 Rich Man, Poor Man - 28:1839 Squeeze Play - 27:1940 The Black Gospel - 27:0741 The Brass Monkey - 26:4542 The Canadian Backbone - 27:0743 The Crossed Heart - 27:0544 The Dangerous Dollars - 25:2845 The Elspeth Club - 27:3946 The Flames Burned Red - 26:4847 The Inhuman Element - 27:3448 The Kiss of Death - 27:0949 The Line Is Busy - 27:3050 The Party Got Rough - 27:1251 The Rat Race - 30:1952 The Red Gate - 28:3953 The Red Ladies - 26:5654 The Red Octopus - 27:1755 The Red Record - 28:0256 The Red Snow - 27:3657 The Red Waves - 25:4358 The Sleeper - 27:4259 The Unwelcome Hosts - 27:0160 The Wrong Green - 27:1861 Tight Wire - 25:5662 Tour of Duty - 27:3563 Traitors for Hire - 26:5864 Treason Comes in Cans - 26:3965 Trial by Fear - 27:2366 Use Only as Directed - 27:2467 Very Private Funeral - 27:4868 Violence Preferred - 25:5969 Where the Red Men Roam - 24:5870 Word Game - 24:59 Payment Policy We accept payment by any of the following methods: Shipping Policy We offer FREE shipping on all orders!
