This film has caught and repro duced a picture of a critical period in American history with such down to earth realism that it al. most documentary in nature. From where we sat it looked as if Producer Goldwyn suddenly realized that a great moment of emotional reconversion was about to pass without being recorded in the only setting appropnat drama.
