influence in the film industry, and Dmytryk was among those called to testify about it before HUAC in 1947. Dmytryk briefly had been a Communist Party member in 1944 and 1945. He was persuaded by his former party associates to join nine other Hollywood figures in a public refusal to testify. The Hollywood Ten were cited for contempt of Congress and sentenced to prison terms. Dmytryk was fired from RKO. Dmytryk fled to England and unofficially was ostracized. In England, he made two films for producer Nat Bronstein: a thriller '' Obsession'' (1949), and '' Give Us This Day'' (1949), a neo-realistic movie sympathetic to the working man, based on the novel ''Christ in Concrete''. The latter movie, which was successful in Europe, was released as ''Christ in Concrete'' in the United States and quickly suppressed. When his passport expired, Dmytryk returned to the United States, where he was arrested and imprisoned. He served four months and 17 days in Millspoint Prison, West Virginia. On April 25, 1951, Dmytryk appeared before HUAC for the second time and answered all questions. He spoke of his own brief party membership in 1945 and named party members, including seven film directors:
