Featured review
Yes, =L O T S= of propaganda but a haven for Film Noir lovers...
Caution: there is a sickening amount of propaganda in this film.
Another caution: this a below-average time filler.
However, if you love film noir like I do, then this film is a must-see.
There is some good lighting in the exterior shots and no matter how average a film is (this is about a 6 on a 1-10 scale); if Robert Ryan and Laraine Day are in it, it's going to scream "noir". And Ryan does a good job here, but has a bad script to work with. The subject of the film is way out of date; yet, it's still an intriguing time machine.
As I recall, this film is very short (maybe 62-67 minutes long?) and thus, isn't listed in most film guides. I had no idea what I was getting into when I watched it the first time. Don't miss it if you like film noir/crime types.
