American Masters: A Letter to Elia

Seven years after his death, director Elia Kazan continues to be venerated for such landmark films as On the Waterfront—as well as condemned for having shared the names of suspected communists before the House Un-American Activities Committee during the McCarthy era. Among his admirers is Martin Scorsese, who has drawn on Kazan’s own words and work to craft this poignant and deeply personal portrait. Monday, Oct. 4, at 9 p.m., PBS; check local listings
