One can only imagine the reaction of arch-conservative MGM head Louis B. Mayer when Song of Russia first tumbled over the spools in the studio projection room. It must be remembered, however, that back in 1944 it was politically expedient for Hollywood to offer hosannas to America's Russian allies, and to gloss over the less-attractive aspects of the Stalin regime.

PUNQ

Rated 24 Mar 2019

It's so odd watching these classic pro-Soviet Hollywood movies knowing the history between the countries. The picture is surrounded by pompous classical music identifying the Russian spirit, with Robert Taylor being very American while at the same time accepting a different culture and falling in love with a Russian girl played by American Susan Peters. This also includes the most gentle adaptation of Stalin in American history! A bit of a culture clash.
