A deliciously sappy and romantic movie from 1943? It unexpectedly, became very popular, made boatloads of money, and won multiple Academy Awards. One of the hundreds of undistinguished movies the Hollywood factories churned out each year -- so why do we still remember this one? Clever pro-war propaganda in an isolationist US? Celebration of female prostitution? Civil rights ground-breaker? Ironic, deadpan comedy? All of the above?

Then in 1947, with the Cold War in full swing, everyone involved – including the top stars and studio executives - are suspected of Communist sympathies and are forced to recant. Not a single scandal here - but many. Learn the truth about, arguably, America's favorite film.

Our music is composed, preformed, and produced by John Hoekstra. youtube.com/channel/UC2Gon6qb9ar07BP0hsNPXdA. On SoundCloud: @user-363005792
