★★★★ · An overview provided by a man who knew... · sopwithcamelus · 2021-08-17

This film is a basic overview of the Communist ideology and its methods. Those who feel it is inaccurate have a rather feeble grasp of the history of Communism. Philbrick infiltrated the movement, and he relates what the Communists revealed to him when they trusted him as one of their own.

This guy is practically foaming at the mouth. He drank the McCarthyism Kool-aid and loved it! For the quality of the film and its historical interest, I'd give it a four. For the reliability of the speaker, I'd give it a -1.
