★★★★ · HIGH FIVE! · Spuzz · 2015-11-11

Very very propaganidish film explaining how the two bombs that were cast upon Japan destroyed two cities. Narrator constantly fawns over the destruction, poo-poos radiation fallout, and conveniently ignores the dead and grievously injured. This was shortened and renamed "A Tale Of Two Cities" and is on the Prelinger side. Highly reccomended!
