Synopsis
The propaganda is hot and heavy in this installment of Frank Capra's classic war series, shot under the auspices of the US War Department. Japanese war atrocities, dead babies, rabid Japanese soldiers at a rally, all add up to an ugly portrayal of Japan during the war years. Featuring narration by John Beal, Howard Duff, Walter Huston, and others, this is perhaps the best of the Capra war documentaries. Listen for the musical score by four time Oscar winner Dimitri Tiomkin (High Noon, The High and the Mighty).
