The movie is related to the Red Scare and McCarthyism because it is showing that communism is a really scary thing. The doctor was scared of communism and so was McCarthy. I do believe that McCarthy was a bit paranoid though because you cannot go around falsly accusing people about being communist. The movie also relates to Spy Cases because in the movie they thought the doctor was the bad guy because he wasn't acting like everyone else.
