What's a "Goldstein movie"?

Don't know this one, decided to investigate- sounds like a "McCarthyism" parable- a boy is suspicious of a "strange new neighbor" (presumably foreign to boot, since he's played by Kurt Kasznar)- slanders him, the guy is of course innocent.

The director's background is interesting:

Started promisingly with an artsy, well-made PEER GYNT independently-made feature (with a teenage Charlton Heston!), ended badly with a couple of dull SF movies, 12 TO THE MOON and MADMEN OF MANDORAS- the latter destined for infamy when it was re-edited and retitled for TV as THEY SAVED HITLER'S BRAIN!

Did the FILM GUIDE go silent? Not that I'm complaining!
