05/01/2019 The amount of misinformation in this propaganda piece would be more hilarious if it wasn't representative of the BS people took seriously then and continues to have sociopolitical ramifications today. I imagine the BS we are witnessing today will look as ridiculous to people 70 years from now as this does to us today. See more 10/17/2008 A heavy handed propaganda film weakened by obvious narration, but containing good acting and a compelling plot. Old time radio fans would be intrigued to learn that "Claudia" from "One Man's Family" plays a communist honey trap. See more 07/12/2007 This is a hilarious movie for anyone studying the Red Scare. It's a very hokey movie about what will happen to you if you become an evil communist! haha so funny See more 03/19/2007 This movie had potential, but fell through the cracks. To bad.
