I did know it was a parable for Kazan's naming of communists. He fell in my eyes now a lot. The best metaphor film for those dreadful and awful hearings is High Noon. And a direct film about that is Guilty by suspicion with De Niro. And a great comic book (or better said graphic novel) on that subject is The Fade-Out by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips. I highly reccomend it!
Kazan felt doing the right thing, exposing the Mob Boss's in "On the Waterfront" and also exposing those supporting communism in 1952. Mankiewicz knows of the connection but tries to downplay it, and yes it was necessary according to Kazan.
I miss the days when TCM and Criterion accepted at the very least, all points of view The latter just feels like they're trying to appeal way too hard to emotionally charged millennials and zoomers, not just the newer films they pick but descriptions for some older films too like Immitation of Life, but maybe that's just me
