Stamp Out Communism
14 September 2008
A short documentary touting the United States issued 5-cent stamp, which could send a letter from freedom loving Americans to those outside the United States. Communist bloc countries, like Poland, are specifically noted as countries receiving millions of letters from the USA. These letters promote the American way of life "we take for granted"; and, many "penetrate the Iron Curtain". MGM studios figure the nickel to be worth a million dollars, due to its usefulness in spreading democracy. Pier Angeli, Ricardo Montalban, Leslie Caron, and Zsa Zsa Gabor deliver brief messages to viewers, near the film's end, in their native tongues. The three actresses are of some interest, as they are in their "starlet" years; otherwise, "The Million Dollar Nickel" is of limited worth.

*** The Million Dollar Nickel (1952) John Nesbitt ~ Zsa Zsa Gabor, Leslie Caron, Pier Angeli
