Holy Tolstoy: Mission to Moscow, a dandy, FDR-approved piece of 1943 propaganda from Michael Curtiz, relates how "We the Open-Minded" and our Ural comrades were meant to be Allies. Walter Huston (he who sired then up-and-coming director John) plays Joseph E. Davies, the US ambassador who sees Hitler-run Germany en route to the Soviet Union. In the proud USSR, he sees the full panorama: a tractor/tank factory, co-op farms, Kneiper Dam, the Caspian Sea, and even a reasonable Stalin. Tonight, this unique, jingo-jingo entry in our film annals is supplemented with a panel that includes Glenn Kenny and Post critic Lou Lumenick.
