It's my understanding that Robinson was actually a victim of the blacklist during the early to mid-50's because he refused to name names. He was only able to get work in a handful of B-movies from 1950 until 1954 when DeMille cast him in The Ten Commandments. However, he did make a very successful return to Broadway in 1956 starring in Chayefsky's Middle of the Night, which had an extended run and eventually his film career recovered.
