1. "The 49th Parallel"

"49th Parallel is a 1941 British war drama film, the third made by the team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. It was released in the United States as The Invaders."

"The British Ministry of Information approached Michael Powell to produce a propaganda film, suggesting minesweeping as the subject. Powell instead desired to make a film to help sway opinion in the neutral United States. Powell persuaded the British and Canadian governments and started location filming in 1940, but by the time the film appeared in March 1942, the U.S. was already involved in the war."

So maddening that it took a Japanese attack to engage us against Hitler's Nazi's.

Very powerful given today's climate. I've tuned in an hour in to the story.
