Abstract
The following analysis covers three cinematographic sources which are Good Night, and Good Luck, the Invasion of the Body Snatchers and an episode of Cold Case called the "Red Glare". First, Good Night, and Good Luck is about how Edward R. Murrow, the CBS announcer of the time, and F. Friendly, a producer, helped to denounce McCarthyism. The Invasion of the Body Snatchers is what was called a B-movie, which represented an allegory of McCarthyism through a story that takes place in a small town of America, about a doctor named Dr Benell who discovers that extraterrestrial beings with no emotions are taking possession of his fellow citizens during the night. Finally, the episode of Cold Case is about a murder that happened in 1953, during the period of the witch hunt. We look more into these works in this document.
