In their reIentIess battle against HitIer, 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-World War lI experiences in the Soviet Union. The fiIm features Academy Award winner Walter Huston as Davies, plus accomplished actors playing the deadline-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 earIy American-Soviet reIations and its urgent sense of the danger the emerging Axis Powers posed to the world. |
