I saw a movie on PBS back in the late 1970s or early 1980s. Perhaps it was an independent movie. The scene I saw appeared to take place in a classroom perhaps in the midwest.
In the scene from inside the classroom there were parachutes landing in the fields. Then the principal entered the classroom, whispered something to the teacher and they both left the children alone in the class. Then there entered a different teacher. This new female teacher was dressed in a green military uniform. She told the children that from now on she would be teaching the class and she told the children to open their books.
One of the children asked the teacher “arent we going to pray first? Our teacher always has us pray before class”
The new teacher then proceded to explain that praying is a waste of time and then to prove it the teacher told the child to close her eyes and pray for candy to appear on her desk. Of course when the child opened her eyes there was no candy.
Anybody know what the name of this movie is and if it’s avail. online or on DVD?
It was obviously a movie of the US being invaded by the Soviets. I saw it during the cold war.
There was a movie called “Invasion USA” (NOT the one with Chuck Norris) in black and white from back in the 1950s. That might have been it. It’s on DVD.
