"WHERE'S THE CONSCIENCE OF THE WORLD?!?"
28 March 2021
Where indeed, Henry, where. Flat melodrama starring a miscast Henry Fonda tries to make a statement about the Spanish Civil War but falls short of its goal.

I must say I'm impressed with some of the well-researched, beautifully written reviews on Imdb about this film. Why do the worst movies have some of the most detailed reviews? Maybe the reviewers feel the need to dissect bad films in an effort to determine what went wrong during production. How a movie with a good cast could be so bad.

But I digress. If, in 2021, the Spanish Civil War is on your 'top ten' list of Things That Matter, you might enjoy this movie. Maybe even find a copy of the original movie poster and have it framed for $250.00 and hang it in your formal dining room. Whatever. Have your tea and granola bar and go back to bed. Cheers.
