Well paced and watchable even if obvious propaganda, the film does not have much in the way of a good story, but some very competent acting and good editing keep it afloat. The narration is heavy-handed and far too dramatic to have any impact, and there are many stereotype characters in the mix, but yet the film has a sort of exciting, riveting style to it, and therefore it is easy to imagine that it was effective propaganda in its time, even with some shortcomings and a lack of subtlety. It is not brilliant film-making, but there are a couple of reasons why it may be of some interest. Firstly, it captures the attitudes and propaganda ideas that were around at the time. Secondly, the film is relatively entertaining, even if quite predictable and a bit obvious. It is not a great film, but it is worth a look.
