1.0 out of 5 stars Good Movie - Awful Print, May 9, 2007

By	Third Offence "Thirdoffence" (Florida) - See all my reviews

It is unfortunate when a classic is treated with such disregard and carelessness as this one has been.

The film quality is 'ok' but with some fuzzy scenes and a few missing frames and film burn here and there. The sound is of poor quality, dropping off to near silence at many points. To add insult to injury, my copy came complete with a manufacturing defect that stops the film short of it's conclusion.

All is not lost however... "Reel Enterprises" was kind enough to include a persistant watermark of it's logo in the lower right hand corner throughout the entire film. Otherwise I would have definitly thought this was a bootleg or Korean import.

A real shame for such an otherwise great film.

No menu, no extras, no frills but cheap at $10.00

4.0 out of 5 stars Five years later and we were told to hate these people!, December 14, 2008

By	R. Bagula "Roger L. Bagula" (Lakeside, Ca United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Here we have Walter Brennan and Dean Jagger leading an all star cast
in a movie telling how brave the Russian people are.
There were several of these early 40's war movies showing
our solidarity with the Russian against the Germans.
The same governments turned on each other just a short time further on.
In a time when the KGB has fallen we still have the CIA:
they are the same sort of beast as these governments
that tell us to love them one year and hate them the next?
There is a lesson here of history.
