  b. The hearings galvanized the more radical elements in Hollywood and resulted in a large number of protest films.
  c. Some large motion-picture studios lost so many of their directors, actors, and other workers that they had to shut down.
  d. They had little effect because the Supreme Court ruled the hearings unconstitutional.
