...there's much more to the film's story than this one defining event. The movie's opening shot follows the homeless Olive Stanton (Emily Watson) down the streets of New York, then tracks the steps of a nervous, buttoned-down worker (Joan Cusack) tacking up posters for a meeting of anti-Communists, and winds up at Blitzstein's window.
