The show instead makes excellent use of actor Charles Laughton's ability to elicit strong emotions from the audience.

Working with writer Dudley Nichols and designer Eugène Lourié, Renoir doesn't rely on the depiction of enemy outrages to make his point. But Renoir's second Hollywood effort This Land is Mine (1943) is superior anti-Nazi propaganda. His Swamp Water (1941) is a superior drama about Florida backwoodsmen, and unrelated to the war.

One of the most prestigous émigrés was Jean Renoir, a great talent who fared reasonably well transplanted to Southern California. Noted writers and directors came as well - Bertolt Brecht, Robert Siodmak. Playing Germans in some of these movies were newcomers to Hollywood, political and religious refugees from the film industries of Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and France. In Edge of Darkness, for example, Errol Flynn and Ann Sheridan portrayed patriotic Norwegians, battling occupying German forces. With the guidance of the War Department, movies celebrated our allies' resistance to invading Axis armies on a country-by-country basis. John Farrow directed a carefully fictionalized drama about the last stand of Marines and civilian contractors against the Japanese on Wake Island. Early efforts included the escapist comedy All Through the Night, an unlikely story about a Runyon-esque gangster (Humphrey Bogart) foiling a Nazi cell in New York City. Hollywood did its part in World War II as forcefully as any other American industry, turning out entertainments to raise morale and inform the public. Starring Charles Laughton, Maureen O'Hara, George Sanders, Walter Slezak, Kent Smith, Una O'Connor, Philip Merivale, Thurston Hall, George Coulouris, Nancy Gates.
