COMMUNITY REVIEWS

The films are important but ... submitted by GJBarnett2 on March 7, 2022, 12:38am ... the commentator is an arrogant self-satisfied ignoramus. Ignore the commentaries. The value of these films is in their insights into the attitudes of the time, not what the commentator thinks of them today.
