DESCRIPTION:A documentary adaptation of the popular regional theatrical mon
 ologue -- in which such heavyweights as Paul Newman\, Nathan Lane\, and Joe
  Mantegna essayed the lead on various occasions -- Trumbo recounts the life
  and times of legendary Hollywood scribe-turned-HUAC scapegoat Dalton Trumb
 o. As with its source production\, the film takes as its base material high
 ly personal\, detailed\, and emotive letters written by Dalton Trumbo to hi
 s son\, Christopher\; the latter\, in turn\, molded the missives into a scr
 eenplay for this production. Here\, however\, in lieu of one actor portrayi
 ng Dalton\, a number of celebrities take turns narrating from the script\, 
 including Lane\, Paul Giamatti\, Brian Dennehy\, Donald Sutherland\, and ot
 hers. As a visual accompaniment\, the film intercuts home-movie footage fro
 m the Trumbos' lives\; incisive interview material with Trumbo\, his family
 \, friends\, and collaborators\; and haunting glimpses of the HUAC trial he
 arings with the Hollywood Ten\, led by Senator Joseph McCarthy\; as well as
  extracts from The Sandpiper\, Johnny Got His Gun\, Spartacus\, and other p
 roductions authored by Trumbo. Peter Askin\, who helmed the stage play\, di
 rects. ~ Nathan Southern\, All Movie Guide
