He was a founder of the Group Theater (1931-1937), which performed socially relevant works. When he entered film, Carnovsky again preferred movies with a political viewpoint, such as The Life of Emile Zola (1937) and the anti-Nazi Edge of Darkness (1943). He and his wife Phoebe Brand were blacklisted from Hollywood in the 1950s, but remained active on stage, especially in the American Shakespeare Festival, Stratford, Connecticut.
