There was a movie called "The Front" directed by Martin Ritt starring Woody Allen that's about a hack writer who becomes a front for blacklisted writers, propelling him to stardom as one of the best and most prolific writers of all time. He eventually gets called to testify, and there's a great part where he says "Fellas... I don't recognize the right of this committee to ask me these questions. Furthermore, you can all go fuck yourselves."
