Talkernate History - The North Star (1943) & Armored Attack (1957)

https://on.soundcloud.com/2AY5tYuBCIDOtr3B36 https://www.patreon.com/TalkernateHistory The North Star (1943) was one of the many infamous big budget Pro-Soviet movies made in Hollywood during World War II. The tone is absurdist. Imagine Oklahoma mixed with Come and See and you've got The North Star. After the war ended, and the Cold War began, people looked back on films like The North Star, and they did not like what they saw. From this sense of shame and paranoia, Armored Attack (1957) was born... Two Walter Huston films for (very much) the price of one! We'll be taking a break from good ole' Walter for a while after this episode, but this will not be the end! He's got at least a couple more bizarre films in his filmography. Walter Huston is the key to all this.
