For Defense for Freedom for Humanity (1951)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
This 1951 short is a promotional piece for the Red Cross and their fund drive for the year. Spencer Tracy, sitting at a desk surrounded by the American flag as well as the Red Cross one, narrates a brief story telling why it's so important to donate money to the cause. If you are constantly viewing Turner Classic Movies then you know you get all sorts of great movies as well as various shorts but also from time to time a promotional piece like this shows up. I've seen quite a few over the years with many A-list stars appearing with everyone from Crawford to Davis. Being a die-hard fan of Tracy's it was great seeing him do this piece and I'm sure it's his fans who will most want to check this film out. There really nothing too special done as the film runs just a couple minutes but fans of the star will no doubt still want to check it out.
