With the Cold War "raging" in full alert, Americans were on constant edge and fear of anything that even hinted at the spread of Communist ideals.

Indeed, with this movie, he was apparenly becoming a director to reckon with in the future. Unfortunately, his follow-up would be the really underwhelming ‘Leatherheads’ and it has been a decade since we have been waiting for something brilliant coming from this director. Anyway, coming back to our main feature, even"
