Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesThis film was often mentioned during the 1947 House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in its investigation of alleged Communist infiltration of the motion picture industry and was chiefly responsible for the blacklisting of screenwriter Howard Koch. Warner Bros. studio head Jack L. Warner defended the picture as being "made when our country was fighting for its existence, with Russia as one of our allies . . . The picture was made only to help a desperate war effort and not for posterity."
- GaffesAside from the issue of the fairness of the Moscow purge trials, or the truthfulness of the alleged confessions of the accused, the people shown standing trial together in the film in fact did not all stand trial at the same time. There were two such major show trials, one in 1937, the second in 1938, and the real life characters depicted in the film as being tried simultaneously were actually tried in separate groups at one of the two trials.

Commentaire à la une
So, was Ambassador Davies duped by the Russians?
Is that why he put forward this saccharine view of the Soviet Union? It was done sincerely and naively, was it?
I remember this -- the 1943 film version of Ambassador Davies' book -- as quite dull, in spite of its obvious historical and political interest, from when I last saw it a number of years ago. In the notes I took down at the time, I have the film labelled as "disturbing propaganda" and cite two choice quotations:
"At least, one European nation with no aggressive intentions is ready for whatever comes", exclaims Ambassador Davies (as portrayed by Walter Huston).
According to a Soviet minister, "The army is strengthened by the purge of its traitors."
(Stalin almost succeeded in strengthening his army right out of existence.)
Amazon lists a couple of scholarly titles specific to the Ambassador Davies controversy. Perhaps this film will whet your appetite for a little more background.
