Featured review
This is one way to look at things, but not very objective
This documentary is full of adoration for Patton, and it is interesting. It also is a bit of an anti FDR propaganda film. At one point the narrator outright states the FDR had soviet spies in his cabinet. This is stated without any explanation and the more gullible viewer will swallow it hook line and sinker. To fully endorse this film, one pretty much has to be in the mindset that we should of pursued war against the USSR after defeating Germany, also be a big believer in the domino theory.
There's a manipulativeness in this film, the way it drives home it's one sided point.
