Product Description

Product Description

The drama, imagery and fantasy of 1940s films was enlisted to inspire the US war effort during World War II. This book looks at the propaganda, politics and persuasion that conspired to produce memorable movies such as "Casablanca", and the thankfully forgotten "Hillbilly Blitzkreig".

4.0 out of 5 stars interesting review of the work of OWI, 22 Aug 2007
By Mb Davis "afc9871" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have seen the initials OWI on many occasions without being aware of their role in WW2>This book delves into their files to show how they attempted to influence the content of American films.It is funny when you consider the distortions and lies of Nazi films only to realise that Hollywood was quite able,with OWI s help to beat them at their own game.The infamous Mission To Moscow being a case in point.Very entertaining and informative
