American propaganda film from World War II, 27 January 1999
Author: Fred Taeng (fredrik.taeng@telia.com) from Stockholm, Sweden

When this short movie was made, World War II had reached the stage where Italy and Germany had surrendered but Japan was still to go, hence the title.

The aim of the film was to inform the allied soldiers of their one remaining task. The progress of the war is summarised and the reasons for giving the war in Europe priority over the war in the Pacific, are explained. Although very informative, the nature of the film is such that it must be classified as propaganda. The cartoon sequences are very effective.

Frank Capra directed for the US War Department. The film is very typical of Capra's stuff from the war years.
