Base painting for the vintage movie poster ''Daniel'', a drama film released in 1983, directed by Sidney Lumet and starring Timothy Hutton. The film is based on the novel "The Book of Daniel" by E.L. Doctorow and tells the story of a man who grapples with the legacy of his parents' involvement in communism during the McCarthy era in America.
Timothy Hutton portrays the titular character, Daniel Isaacson, who is a successful writer living with his wife and children in New York City. Daniel's comfortable life is disrupted when his parents, Paul and Rochelle Isaacson, are arrested and executed for their communist beliefs. As Daniel delves into his family's past and confronts painful truths about his parents' activism, he struggles to come to terms with his own identity and the impact of their actions on his life.
Directed by Sidney Lumet, "Daniel" is praised for its powerful performances, thought-provoking themes, and nuanced exploration of political and moral complexities. Timothy Hutton delivers a standout performance as the conflicted and introspective Daniel, capturing his character's internal turmoil and emotional journey with depth and sensitivity.
The film also features strong supporting performances from Mandy Patinkin as Paul Isaacson and Lindsay Crouse as Rochelle Isaacson, as well as a talented ensemble cast that includes Edward Asner, Ellen Barkin, and Amanda Plummer.
"Daniel" is notable for its examination of the human cost of political ideology and the repercussions of McCarthyism on American society. The film's themes of family, loyalty, and moral responsibility resonate with audiences, offering a poignant and timely exploration of the enduring legacy of the Red Scare era.
While "Daniel" may not be as well-known as some of Sidney Lumet's other films, it remains a compelling and thought-provoking drama that continues to spark discussion and reflection on issues of political activism, justice, and personal integrity.
