"Comrade X"
- Anti-Soviet propaganda - clearly just before we "teamed up" with Russia for WWII
The supreme irony of this film for me has always been that its co-screenwriter, Ben Hecht -- despite being well-known in Hollywood as an outspoken critic of the USSR -- spent much of the 1940s under surveillance by the FBI because J. Edgar was convinced that, because he was Jewish and a Zionist, he was obviously a "fellow traveler." Ooopsie!
