Mr. Buchman Goes To Washington

Voyage Mediawww.voyagemedia.fm
Based on a true story. Sidney Buchman was nominated for four Oscars, but his career came to a screeching halt when he was accused of communist ties. In a wild true story of art imitating life, Sidney, who wrote "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington", would have his own face-off with Washington, when he was pressured to "name names" of other suspected communists to get himself off the hook. Would Sidney choose his honor, or his career? Michael B. Silver, Sidney's real-life grandson (and an accomplished actor and writer himself), plays his grandfather in this scripted audio drama podcast reminiscent of TV and movies like "The West Wing", and "The Trial Of The Chicago 7".
