The Responsibilities of American Citizenship (1955)

★★★★★ · Brilliant information! · Max Grody · 2006-04-15

He's right on. A bit stiff and boring. A little overblown with that 'hand over the globe' thing. But, right on. Ain't a thing he said that is false. A text book for education in America toward structuring an understanding and fellowship in the USA. Or any country, really. Know your enemy, have a purpose, defend your heritage, take responsibility for what you are a part of in education, government, and society. Right on, old dude, right on. Absolutely brilliant.

★★★★ · Clifton L. Ganus is back! · trafalgar · 2004-03-20

Another classic starring "noted young historian" and true Prelinger star Professor Clifton L. Ganus ("America's Distribution of Wealth", "A Look at Capitalism", etc.)! This is yet another anti-commie, pro-God-and-Country "educational" film in the style of his others. But this time he's brought along some great visual aids. When he describes how communism could bring our system crashing down, he knocks over a bunch of blocks. When he describes how socialism is casting a shadow over the globe, he holds his hand over a globe, and casts a shadow over it. Brilliant! And without a trace of irony…

★★ · Dull and didactic · ERD · 2005-11-17

A lecture by a young historian & professor telling us how we can be good American citizens. Everything in this film is so set up. I find him dull and conceited. His information is at times over blown and didactic.
