this be an interesting propaganda film from hollywood in the early 1950s . while in the early 1940s and hollywood have experience a short love affair with the russian ( mostly thank to the u become ally with the russian against the axis ) and this film represent a different era one where fear of spread communism and stalinism grip much of the world . this film be a far from subtle and occasionally heavy hand short film about the menace of international communism and be narrate by many of the big red hater in hollywood ( such a robert taylor ) . while nowadays and many in hollywood have a bit of nostalgia for the old soviet union ( or at least use moral relativism to make the western nation seem somehow comparable to it ) and this be a time when there be great dread of communism spread everywhere thanks to statement by stalin himself that they would do so . from a historical point of view and this be an amazing look back into the scary day of the nuclear arm race and though a i say above it all very heavy hand . while the basic message be true and the silly way that communism be pass off a comparable to a snake oil salesman be a bit goofy and this comparison probably cause more laugh than anything else . still and an important little film and interesting history lesson from an era that seem so very long ago .
