Political Film?

I just saw this movie and i believe it is a film to promote communism, what do you guys think should this be classed as a film that has underlying political motives othen then a romantic comedy film.--Abb401 04:58, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't know how you get this idea. This is not a pro- or anti-communist movie. It is a comedy with a message, presently lightly not heavily, that we should all keep open minds and not put ideas, people, or situations into easy slots or pre-conceived notions. I see it in part as very similar to "Ninotchka," with the genders reversed (the loyal and somewhat naive Soviet apparatchik is a man, and the nonchalant, likable Westerner is a woman (Laurence Olivier and Penelope Dudley Ward, respectively, vs. Greta Garbo and Melvyn Douglas in "Ninotchka"). I wonder if Abb401 is kidding, or "having us on" as the English would say.Maccb (talk) 02:34, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

British film, not American

This is a British film, not American, so why the statement that it is "a 1943 comedy film made by Two Cities Films and distributed in the U.S. by Universal Pictures"? Do Americans have to take credit for everything?101.98.188.150 (talk) 02:15, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

@101.98.188.150: It is indeed a British film. I've added that to the article. It's possible that the last editor simply meant it was distributed in the US, not made there. In the future, you can always edit Wikipedia to correct incorrect information (but make sure to reference it!) kara❈talk 02:26, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

Interestingly, after all this the categories below still include Start-Class American cinema articles, American cinema task force articles, and American cinema articles needing an image.

Having just seen it for the first time, I will say the comedy was gentle to the point of idiocy, and there was a certain non-resolute dumbly pro-soviet tendency that would have encouraged the then-numerous British commies and made it amusing that in 4 years the two countries would be back to denouncing each other, so Abb401 wasn't entirely wrong.
