We haven't learned yet. Other countries have been invited to participate in our economy, the American citizen is over run with illegals, the job market is in a sad state, housing is ridiculous, and at 69 years old and a citizen for all my life I can't get a driver's license without my birth certificate. I've been driving legally since I was sixteen. I looked forward to the day I could retire from government service but I fear new taxes are going to drive me back to some kind of work. I know that we have it better than some other countries, but our freedoms are disappearing more and more every day.

Sorry comrade. Today’s masters, now living in the West, still fulfill the same function of educating the masses through mass media to accept the Right Think of the New World Order (Worker’s Paradise). The motifs are superficially different, the goals the same: “we tell you what to think, where to live, to obey”. Showing films like this might convince people to think for themselves, to resist.

Shostakovich 5th (last movement) is the vigorous music used for the titles and later in the picture. But at 6.00 in approximately, you will hear the opening Largo movement of his 6th symphony. This is much less known, but in my opinion, a more powerful work. The stunning 20 minute long melancholy and sinister first movement makes wonderful film music.
@Charlesputnam-bn9zy2 жыл бұрын
Shostakovich's music is always sublime, especially the Seventh Symphony in besieged Leningrad. Later when Leningrad had been liberated, he composed the Eighth Symphony of equal inspiration. But after the victory, his Ninth Symphony was deliberately much more modest, perhaps in protest. Later when the persecutions against the Jews resumed in 1952, he in defiance, composed the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Symphonies with Hebraic music and songs. He died in mysterious circumstances in 1975, after a trip abroad to the West where he was supposed to have made anti-soviet remarks. His son Maxim & grandson Dmitri escaped to the West in 1981.

Dana Andrews (1909 - 1992) was a major Hollywood star when this movie was made with such notable successes as the roles of a police detective in Laura (1944) and as a war veteran in The Best Years Of Our Lives (1946) which out grossed Gone With The Wind (1939) . He graduated to films from the stage and worked on B grade movies from 1940 and he got his first lead in Berlin Correspondent (1942) and Laura was his big breakthrough. However by 1950 his career had peaked and alcoholism began to affect his performances and by the mid 1950s he was back to B grade movies. He eventually controlled his heavy drinking but was afflicted with Alzheimer's Disease. He was President of the Screen Actors League in 1963 - 1965 and was the brother of actor Steve Forrest (1925 - 2013) best known for his role in the TV series S.W.A.T. (1975 - 1976) and his his appearance in Mommie Dearest (1981). This film was based on the memoirs of the Soviet defector Igor Gouzenko and pro-Soviet/communist groups unsuccessfully tried to disrupt filming.

Generally, it didn't end very well with people like Gouzenko. Either they still were eliminated by the Soviet Smersj teams, or they drank themselves to death. Just like Kim Philby did in Russia. And nothing has changed today, still Russian "runaways" get killed or severely harmed by polonium or Novitchok. These Cold War movies are as simplistic as those during the war portraying Nazi spies in the US. They are so ridiculously black and white, to make sure even simpletons got the message they wanted to spread. Hollywood went on making such hardboiled but simplistic movies (martial music, views from the FBI building or Hoover himself etc?) until 1956. One of the first movies trying to be more objective was Storm Warning with Bette Davis. (www.imdb.com/title/tt0049800/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_52) After Sputnik etc. the Russia fear came back until the second half of the 1970's, when movies appeared like Telefon. With, believe it or not, Charles Bronson as a "good" Russian agent working together with a "good" American female agent. Movies as a barometer for the moodswings in politics.

"From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an Iron Curtain has descended across the continent........" Winston Churchill's oration before an audience that included President Harry Truman at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri on 5 March 1946 presaging a new war, a decidedly cold one, a sinister, surreptitious diplomatic battle, no less cruel, no less sapping of vitality, only less profligate in loss of life and destruction of property. 5 September 1945 (1). shortly after Japan's representatives, FM Mamoru Shigemitsu and CCOS General Yoshijiro Umezu, signed the document headed UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER on board USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay on 2 Sept 1945, a cypher clerk in the Russian GRU [(Glavnoye Razvedyatelnoye Upravlenie - Organisation of the Main Intelligence Administration), which is subordinate to the General Staff], entered an RCMP establishment in Ottawa and handed over copies of secret cables of his ambassador Georgy Zarubin and hand-written pages from the diary of Military Attache Colonel Nikolai Zabotkin, head of the Canadian Bureau of the GRU spy network in the Russian Embassy, The clerk's name was Igor Gouzenko, a 26-year-old Lieutenant in the GRU, married with at least one child and his wife, living in a comfortable suburban Ottawa apartment. and with the highest security clearance. At first knowledge of this sensational event, Canadian PM, MacKenzie King was highly skeptical of Gouzenko's bona fides and was somewhat fearfull of disturbing the very good relationship he believed had developed between Canada and Stalin's Soviet Russia. He was deeply shocked that a WW2 ally, Josef Stalin, could be so duplicitous during the war toward his allies, let alone after the war. The film shows Gouzenko going to two other agencies before the RCMP. Obviously, this is to hide Mackenzie King's favourable attitude toward Stalin and the former's sense of betrayal that he felt was in some way Gouzenko's fault. Canada had done much to help Russia and his expectation of deep goodwill between them had been dashed. Gouzenko was disbelieved and almost expelled from Canada. Here enters one of the most famous men in all of the long history of secret intelligence and espionage. A Canadian who by the breadth of his intellect spoke easily with prime ministers and presidents and fashioned a network of intelligence gathering that astonished the USA. [a]"The CIA historian, Thomas F. Troy has argued: "BSC was not just an extension of SIS, but was in fact a service which integrated SIS, SOE, Censorship, Codes and Ciphers, Security, Communications - in fact nine secret distinct organizations. But in the Western Hemisphere Stephenson ran them all." [b]"William Donovan, the chief of the Office of Strategic Service (OSS) has called the British Security Coordination (BSC) "the greatest integrated secret intelligence and operations organization that has ever existed anywhere". David Bruce, who was a member of the OSS has argued: "Had it not been for Stephenson's achievements it seems to me highly possible that the Second World War would have followed a different and perhaps fatal course."" {a] and [b] are c&p'd directly from: Sir William Stephenson was the man who had Churchill's utmost confidence and whom Churchill named "Intrepid". This was the man who stepped in just in time to prevent Igor Gouzenko's likely repatriation to his native country, his torture and his execution Stephenson arranged for Gouzenko and his family to stay at Camp X, the unofficial name of the secret Special Training School No. 103, a Second World War British paramilitary installation for training covert agents in the methods required for success in clandestine operations. It was located on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario between Whitby and Oshawa in Ontario, Canada. During subsequent iterviews with BSC agents in 1946, Gouzenko identified Klaus Fuchs and Dr Alan Nunn May as traitors with 17 others. 5 Sept 1945 was barely a month after Little Boy detonated at about 1900 feet above Hiroshima, 6 Aug 1945. Gouzenko's defection severely damaged the Ottawa embassy's spy network. Revelations from the Canadian Royal Commission had powerful repercussions in the USA, the UK, other Commonwealth countries and around the world. He was not in the mould of the average spy. About 5'5" tall, with a slim physique and weighing about 150lb, he had no personality flaws, no behavioural traits that rendered him vulnerable. He sought no riches. It appears that within the two years during which he served his country faithfully and diligently, he and his wife found the Canadian way of life infinitely preferable to that of the austere, comparatively deprived and anxiety-ridden communist way of life. The story is told that he had committed an indiscreet error in his work. When it was made known to him, he and his wife feared recall to Moscow and probable demotion, increased hardship and the likelihood that they would never have the opportunity of an overseas post again. It's very likely that their son's future influenced their decision as well. I have been unable to confirm the "mistake" story as a motive for his defection. Gouzenko's revelations provided for the discovery of many spies in both Canada and the USA, In the UK, it is almost certain his information sealed the question of Sir Roger Hollis KBE CB 1905-1973, journalist and subsequent head of MI5, almost certainly being the "fifth man" of the traitorous Cambridge Group: Guy Burgess, Donald MacLean, Kim Philby, Anthony Blunt and (there was a choice of three in this super-mole) Guy Liddell, Graham Mitchell (Deputy Director General of MI5 at the time) or Hollis. Gouzenko told his debriefers that the deep mole in MI5 had a Russian connection in his family. Had establishment of this fact been given priority, it would have exonerated Liddel and Mitchell. After Hollis' demise, it was discovered that his family claimed ancestral connections with the great Russian monarch, Peter the Great 1672-1725. Gouzenko was nothing if not a conscientious traitor. He gave help in every way possible to his interrogators. He wrote of his exploits and gave interviews on TV but always wore a bag mask over his head punctured by two eye-holes. Like nearly all of his ilk, he lived in great fear of assassination. He believes he escaped one attempt in 1965. His wife suffered the same anxieties, but not his 8 children, It was only after he died in 1982 and his oldest child was nearly 40 years that they were told of his and their mother's life stories. He is regarded as one of the most effective and helfpfull traitors of the 20th century. Yet he has not achieved the noteriety of others less deserving. Glamour just would not stick to him. Needless to say, he and his family lived secret lives pseudonymously and at a location known to very few. Most of this message was prepared from: TRAITORS by Chapman Pincher MASK OF TREACHERY by John Costello

Canadian actually. And real... Well, somewhat dramatized of course. In 1948, the Cold War was skyrocketing. The camera's came only after 9/11, now THAT is real American history.

Very much Canadian. I'm from Ottawa and used to work in the Parliament buildings-- the scenes in the film are all Ottawa and the buildings look the same today, with much more traffic of course and highrise buildings in the background. This true story was re-enacted and filmed in 1946 right after all those events took place.

@@wandajames6234 I was referring to the subject matter of the film not the geographical location (which is mentioned early in the film) and canada is in north AMERICA is it not also the style of the film is all american hollywood propaganda with dana playing a russian with an american accent (did the real character have an american accent?) so your understanding of real is very suspect, lol, but I guess you are not into anything other than being pedantically narrow minded which according to u.s. americans is typically canadian, lfmao.

What most people don't know is that USSR and Japan never declared war on each other, nor really fought each other, until shortly before Japan surrendered. USSR declared war, and the two were involved in the most brutal and massive battles of WWII. Which are never heard about. This was significant in forcing Japan to surrender.

New words from the Laboratories of the United Stats and Canada. Nothing about the Labs in Britain, where it all started.Tube Alloys was the code name of the research and development programme authorised by the United Kingdom, with participation from Canada, to develop nuclear weapons during the Second World War. Starting before the Manhattan Project in the United States, the British efforts were kept classified, and as such had to be referred to by code even within the highest circles of government. The possibility of nuclear weapons was acknowledged early in the war. At the University of Birmingham, Rudolf Peierls and Otto Frisch co-wrote a memorandum explaining that a small mass of pure uranium-235 could be used to produce a chain reaction in a bomb with the power of thousands of tons of TNT. This led to the formation of the MAUD Committee, which called for an all-out effort to develop nuclear weapons. Wallace Akers, who oversaw the project, chose the deliberately misleading name "Tube Alloys". His Tube Alloys Directorate was part of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. The Tube Alloys programme in Britain and Canada was the first nuclear weapons project. Due to the high costs, and the fact that Britain was fighting a war within bombing range of its enemies, Tube Alloys was ultimately subsumed into the Manhattan Project by the Quebec Agreement with the United States, under which the two nations agreed to share nuclear weapons technology, and to refrain from using it against each other, or against other countries without mutual consent; but the United States did not provide complete details of the results of the Manhattan Project to the United Kingdom. The Soviet Union gained valuable information through its atomic spies, who had infiltrated both the British and American projects.

That's interesting. They focussed on Canada because that's where this story took place and where the Russians were caught. We didn't have our own constitution at that time, so Canada was just considered a branch of England-- we still had the Union Jack then too. We got the Maple Leaf in 1967 for our Centennial. I was 7 at the time when we switched flags. My uncle was an engineer at the Chalk River, Ontario, nuclear plant, and years later died of cancer like most of his coworkers.

I can't imagine a movie sponsored by the Pentagon, the CIA and the State Department that tells the truth about "Communism." That would be the same as the Roman Catholic Church telling the truth about Martin Luther.

Soldiers die on the battlefield for Freedom and people like these soft on Socialism people that work in sensitive occupations are living in the lap of luxury, with generous payoffs while our soldiers pay the ultimate sacrifice!

Spies aren't soldiers. If soldiers in free countries don't like it, they still can try to join the spy agencies, that's their privilege. In communist countries, party members didn't choose to what agency or unit they went. The party made that choice for them. So let's remain fair about that part. And by the way, of course spies and traitors often die. Several Soviet or Russian traitors got killed in the West, several CIA agents got killed abroad, for ex. in the Lebanon.
