Episode 136: Watch on the Rhine
ABOUT THE EPISODE:
The third and final antifascist film of the 1943 nominees, Watch on the Rhine doesn't, in fact, star Bette Davis, despite what the poster would have you believe. Paul Lukas is brilliant as a great dad who is literally antifa, and this is his movie through and through. A great supporting cast and snappy dialogue buttress this movie that, despite interference from the Hays Office, manages to effectively convey its still all too timely message.
