Who described Kazan as a traitor but a good director?
Francis Ford Coppola
Orson Welles
Stanley Kubrick
Steven Spielberg
Answer
Welles described Kazan as a traitor but a good director because he believed that Kazan's testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in 1952, naming names of suspected communists in the film industry, was a betrayal of his fellow artists and a violation of their civil rights. However, Welles also admired Kazan's talent as a director and acknowledged his significant contributions to American cinema.
