Seeing as this film is about John Wayne saving the world from commie scum I burst out laughing at the credits which listed one of the actors as Red McQueen ! Red Mcqueen ! , an actor called Red in a film starring John Wayne saving humanity from the horrors of communism ! I`m surprised the Duke didn`t have him shot on the spot . Actually this irony sums up this propaganda piece , it`s side splitting in its humour but no one seems to notice the hilarity they`re causing to a critical free thinking viewer , check out this dialogue
" Seventy six inches . That`s a lot of man " You`re telling me dear
" I`d better shut up before I start talking politics " Duke you do nothing else but talk politics so please shut up
I know I`m probably being churlish in pointing this out ( This film is propaganda of the worst sort remember ) but the un-American activities commitee didn`t really concentrate on hard detective as shown here , they pressured people into becoming informants and anyone refusing to grass up anyone with vaguely liberal views soon found themselves becoming a suspected communist themselves . People lost livilihoods , liberty and reputations simply for not turning stool pigeon , what a disgraceful chapter in American history
