| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThis anti-fascist Hollywood account of German youth indoctrination, directed by Edward Dmytryk (one of the Hollywood Ten) in 1943, was popular due to the timeliness of its release. |
| User ReviewAllan CCorny WWII era propaganda film is elevated by stylish direction by Edward Dmytryk before he broke out as a major film director and a typically strong performance by Tim Holt in the lead. The story involves a German-American girl who is forced to join the Hitler Youth. This film was apparently quite shocking in it's day and today still holds up as quite engrossing. |
