I removed the following from the end of the "Blacklisted" section: "(Note - John Beal was a patriotic American and a Catholic. A butcher in upstate New York who was also named John Beal was a card-carrying Communist but no one on McCarthy's committee bothered to double check the information - they saw the name, assumed it must be the same person as the Hollywood actor, told Warner Brothers and without giving any reasons, Warner Brothers fired him. My father thought he was fired for his acting ability and went into a depression. Years later he found out he was fired because of the House on UnAmerican Activities Committee's sloppy research and blame without facts. You can check this by researching the membership lists and addresses of members]" The source given for this was simply "his daughter" (presumably Beal's daughter). While I'm not challenging the veracity of the statement, it is inappropriate for an encyclopedia entry.
I also removed the last sentence "The love they shared is beautifully evident in the final kiss between them at the end." from the section entitled "A loving couple". I also changed that section title, for the same reason given in the first paragraph. __209.179.47.69 (talk) 20:22, 8 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
