This film is utter, complete propaganda for Communism and the Soviet Union. Endless smiles, a happy, unified, prosperous people - not a single labor camp or knock on the door at night. Imagine a movie made of nothing but smiling, happy Germans under Hitler - with a team of Nazis as writers - who cleared the script with the German Embassy. Would people not call that a horrifying piece of evil? That's exactly what this film is, and it was rightly skewered when pre-McCarthy HUAC hearings were held on Communist influence in Hollywood. A perversely fascinating document of Hollywood's love affair with the Communist slave state.
