I Married A Communist

Radio actor Iron Rinn (born Ira Ringold) is a big Newark roughneck blighted by a brutal personal secret from which he is perpetually in flight. An idealistic Communist , an uneducated ditchdigger turned popular performer, a six-foot, six-inch Abe Lincoln look-alike, he emerges from serving in World War II passionately committed to making this world a better place and winds up instead blacklisted and un-employable, his life in ruins. On his way to his political carastrophe, he marries the nation's reign-ing radio actress and beloved silent film star, the exquisitely refined Eve Frame (born Chava Fromkin). Their marriage evolves from a glam-orous, romantic idyll in a tasteful Manhattan townhouse to a dispirit-ing soap opera of tears and treachery.
