The Hangman
The Hangman
poem by Marurice Ogden (written in 1951, published in 1954)
video by Paul Julian/Les Goldman (1964)
From the Internet Archive:
Though the poem on which the film is based has Holocaust parallels, the poet, Maurice Ogden, was actually writing about America during the McCarthy era. Ogden was an actor and writer who was denied work and persecuted by the House Un-American Activities Committee during the 1950's and early 60's for allegedly having been a member of the Communist Party many years earlier.
