During the era of McCarthyism, Chaplin was accused of "un-American activities" as a suspected communist; and J.

FBI pressure on Chaplin grew after his 1942 campaign for a second front in the war, and reached a critical level in the late 1940's, when Congressional figures threatened to call him as a witness in hearings. This was never done, probably because of fear of Chaplin's abi ...
