- Review
-
Sensational propaganda film which ultimately is about how important industry is to the war, but winds up just being one hell of a propaganda film. Fueled by one heck of a bombastic narrator who must've taken courses in guilt mongering, we're plastered with images of Pearl Harbor! China! France! Norway! All of this is tied very loosely with the industrial theme, but again, this is a mightily trumped up propaganda machine working here folks.
