Scope and Content: This sub-series contains material which relates to a film which John Hasek  researched, scripted, directed and narrated, entitled The Seductive Illusion.  Produced by Accuracy in Media, and released in 1989, this film documents the history of Communist subversion in the United States.  Included in this sub-series is a large amount of miscellaneous material concerning the film, including releases, a proposed budget, scene break downs, scripts, and promotional material.  Also included are highlighted,  transcribed interviews with various people, as well as written documentation from what appears to be a film entitled The Remarkable World of Ella Wolfe.  It  is assumed that both the interviews and the Ella Wolfe material were used  in the film, or were used by Hasek when creating the film.
