HERBERT A. PHILBRICK! Fifties super-paranoid anti-commie TV series, wow.
Kind of a metaphor for a closeted [& married] gay guy I always thought.

His neighbors reviled him as a Commie but he was actually a red-blooded

FBI? Johnny & Clyde? Hmm, maybe there was something to that gay stuff
after all...
