“The Big Lie,” which recently débuted at Tribeca Film Festival, is about McCarthy-era Hollywood and stars Jon Hamm. No, it’s not a film: it’s a podcast, on Audible.
On a recent Thursday, Chantal Smith, a creative director, met the actor Jon Hamm and the writer-producer John Mankiewicz outside Studio 525, in Chelsea, to give them a preview of the party space for the première of their new docudrama, “The Big Lie,” débuting the following night at the Tribeca Festival. Hamm wore aviator sunglasses, a brown denim jacket, and cuffed jeans; Mankiewicz wore a suit with no tie. They both looked intrigued.
Next: an F.B.I. office, with mid-century typewriters and a trenchcoat, and which, like a Sterling Cooper office, was also a bar. News clippings and photographs of film-industry leftists were arrayed like a murder board, connected by tangles of string; Hamm peered at a diagram titled “How to Detect a Lie.
“The Big Lie” is set amid the making of the 1954 movie “Salt of the Earth,” a neorealist drama about a 1950 zinc miners’ strike in New Mexico, written by Michael Wilson, directed by Herbert J. Biberman, and produced by Paul Jarrico, all of whom were blacklisted by the film industry for refusing to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee. “Salt” was considered especially dangerous for its pro-labor bent.
