Featured review
"The Stranger Who Dwells Among You Shall Be To You As One Born Among You"
Refugees move into a house in the small Massachusetts town of Cummington and gradually are accepted by the hide-bound New Englanders.
This short propaganda film produced by the U.S. Information Agency offers a calm and sweet voice to a real problem. Before the war, there had been a strong isolationalist movement in the United States, and a suspicion of foreigners who had dragged the country into two wars across the seas. Sometimes it flared up into violence. This gentle short, shot as a silent, with a voice-over and a score by Aaron Copland -- intended to evoke some of the themes of his Fanfare for the Common Man -- makes its point well.
