My Son John is a 1952 American drama film, starring Robert Walker as a man whose parents suspect he may be working as a Communist spy. It was directed by Leo McCarey. One of the last films produced as part of Hollywood's contribution to McCarthyism, the film received an Oscar nomination for Best Writing, Motion Picture Story, possibly an attempt by Hollywood to signal its loyalty to red-baiting officials in Washington.

Synopsis

In uniform, John and Ben Jefferson, strapping blonds who played high school football, attend Sunday Mass with their parents before leaving for army service in Korea. Their older brother, John sends regrets that he can not join their farewell dinner because of his work for the federal government in Washington.
