Yes I was into Star Trek and my favorite episode was Arena directed by Joseph Pevney. He grew up in New York City and started in vaudville at 12 years old. He was jewish and considered a leftist but never was accused by Hollywood of being a communist.
This leads me to think he might have been part of the spy network trying to route out the communists. The jews were fully aware of what was happening and had happened to them in Russia so it would be no suprise but there is no evidence one way or the other.
He was a Staff Sergeant in the United States Army Signal Corps during the Second World War.
All told he directed fourteen Star Treks and that makes him alright in my book.
