. . . The Great Depression and World War Two. You need to review SPRINGTIME to evaluate the evidence with opened eyes for yourself. Incongruously released Oct. 24, 1929 (which is in the middle of AUTUMN on most calendars)--the dire day launching The Depression--the only question is proving the causal relationship between these two events. ALL the working stiff song & dance performers pictured here--the caterpillar, the grasshoppers, the frogs and the stork--are cruelly murdered in the midst of their revelry. Read THE GRAPES OF WRATH for an account of how the Real Life Depression slew humans and turtles alike. SPRINGTIME's director/producer is widely considered to be Broadway's original inspiration for the hit song "Springtime for Hit-Leer." SPRINGTIME provided a select group of fat cat miserly evil-doers, led by deceptively avuncular W. Himself--to establish their novel world order over the slain stiffs of millions.
