Truly awful propaganda piece., 7 September 1999
1/10
Author: David Atfield (bits@alphalink.com.au) from Canberra, Australia

The Communists are out to get everyone and brainwash them, in this brainless piece of nonsense. They don't represent the working man - they just want to take over his mind (why is never explained). They are all sadists also, who enjoy torturing and killing people. And the female Commies - they're going to try to seduce your poor vulnerable men!

Rich Robert Ryan used to be a Commie, and now they've come to reclaim him. It seems it's harder to stop being a Communist than it is to stop being Catholic.

Unfortunately this film isn't funny enough to become a camp classic - it's just plain boring, and seeing as how we know the dreadful reality of the House Unamerican Activities Committee that lay behind this type of thinking, it is hard to laugh at all.
