My Son John (1952)
3/10
Oscar Nominee: Best Screemplay
1 December 2021
Thought this would be entertaining and interesting to see because of the 1950s Communist hysteria? WRONG!! It was a bore, in spite of great actors and a very fine director. The very middle class everyday American family felt the way it did (phony). But the evil character, Walker, is so unpleasant, after all he is a commie. But of course he is like a heathen who accepts Jesus at the last minute. As he is dying, he find patriotism. The movie is like a comedy sketch parody of American ideals. Scarily in 2020s idiotic United States, there are those who would see this as what happens as a result of electing those commies, the Demorats.
