Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
A Ukrainian village defends itself against the Nazi onslaught. Dramatic battle scenes. Most of the men take to the hills to begin guerrilla attacks. The farmers destroy their crops to keep them from the enemy.
A Nazi doctor begins using the children for blood transfusions for their soldiers, and a group of teenagers attempt to take arms to the resistance. Good performances. Nominated for the following Academy Awards: Best Cinematography, Interior Decoration, Music Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture, Sound Recording, Special Effects and Writing, and Original Screenplay by William Hellman.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Nice piece of PRO Soviet WWII Propaganda
I was really surprised by this film in that it is pure WWII gold (i.e. Soviet people are good and Nazi's are bad). No mention is made in any shape or form to the millions killed by Stalin and the irony of it all is that this film is set in the Ukraine; site of the Soviet ordered famine which killed millions of Kulaks (Ukrainian farmers); but then again why would it (Stalin was our ally)?
I was also `very' surprised that Aaron Copeland did the music for this film. There are several actors who went on to earn great fame after this B-WWII propaganda film such as: Anne Baxter, Dana Andrews, Walter Huston, Walter Brennan, Jane Withers, Farley Granger, and many others all of whom became major stars. I highly recommend this film just for the historical (hollywood that is) value - thus earning the 3 stars (if it were not for the above factiods - I'd give it two stars).
Rating:  - Good Movie - Awful Print
It is unfortunate when a classic is treated with such disregard and carelessness as this one has been.
The film quality is 'ok' but with some fuzzy scenes and a few missing frames and film burn here and there. The sound is of poor quality, dropping off to near silence at many points. To add insult to injury, my copy came complete with a manufacturing defect that stops the film short of it's conclusion.
All is not lost however... "Reel Enterprises" was kind enough to include a persistant watermark of it's logo in the lower right hand corner throughout the entire film. Otherwise I would have definitly thought this was a bootleg or Korean import.
A real shame for such an otherwise great film.
No menu, no extras, no frills but cheap at $10.00
