(part 2 of 2)
Herbert A. Philbrick hosts this amazing anti-Communist .. film from the 1950s.  Philbrick was a salesman who was recruited by the FBI to infiltrate the Communist Party and report back to J. Edgar Hoover.  After the FBI pulled him out in the late '40s so he could testify in a Smith Act trial (the verdicts of many of which were later deemed unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court),  Philbrick wrote a book about his experiences hunting Commies.
