time of year, etc, etc James Stewart in "It's a Wonderful Life". In his political life he persecuted "alleged" Communists to their death. But he was a WW2 hero of US flight crew, previously I just found out. My (late) Grandfather (on my mothers side) spent 2 days in jail whilst being interviewed over alleged child-abuse for an incident where he was a teacher (1970's). The WW2 medals he had for combat would break any persons back in weight. Just, it's all gone,...gone. From hero to c-unit. And while there was no conviction, we didn't have forensic evidence back then to the detail we have now.

Stewart was a republican and did believe that Hollywood had been infiltrated by communists which was a commonly held opinion at the time. You say persecute to their death do you mean the Senator McCarthy hearings I cannot find any evidence that he was asked to testify. Even if he did he can hardly be blamed for voicing a genuine belief. The blame has to lie with the politicians who set up these witch trials. One more point

Originally posted by cryrst Who told you and and why. I was thinking the same. Horrible thing to be told but could it be a person with a grudge? If no conviction, despite lack of forensic assistance, I would be inclined to believe his innocence and remember him as the hero he was. Whatever can never take his bravery away I realise this may be incredibly difficult though
