This is Dec. 7th, and TCM is showing a bunch of movies made in the early 1940's....by major studios, major producers and directors, and in some cases big stars of the period, but let's face it, they were thinly veiled propaganda films.....well  part of the purpose to aid the war effort, that's historical, and excluding that, they are still of interest and reasonably well done....the one showing now is just straight propaganda....
