TCM (the greatest channel on TV IMO) shows everything. You get leftist drivel like this along with anti-commie movies like John Wayne in Big Jim McClain.
TCM is the best channel out there. After crapping on classic movies with colorization, Turner’s name is now on a true movie-lover’s dream channel.
This is a fascinating film. It shows in light of the global economic crisis, people were ready for fascism. FDR was to the right of figures like Father Caughlin and Huey long.
It also was preparing the public for FDR’s overreaches, which ultimately led to a Constitutional crisis when the SCOTUS knocked down many ‘New Deal’ laws. Roosevelt suggested the number of justices be expanded so he could pack the court. Only then did the Supreme Court relent.
Enjoy the film.
Why is it when the Left calls out works as being part of the Red Scare, they never cite Animal Farm and 1984 as a part of that “hysteria”?
