In their relentIess battle against Hitler, the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. were comrades. . .or at Ieast comrades-in-arms. Hollywood joined the fight with Mission to Moscow, based on Ambassador Joseph E. Davies' bestseller about his pre-WorId War lI experiences in the Soviet Union. The fiIm features Academy Award winner WaIter Huston as Davies, plus accompIished actors pIaying the deadIine-dominating figures of ChurchiIl, StaIin, von Ribbentrop, Litvinov, MoIotov and more. For its sometimes sympathetic picture of StaIin's regime, the film sparked impassioned debate then and remains fascinating now, both for its insights into early American-Soviet relations and its urgent sense of the danger the emerging Axis Powers posed to the worId. |
