THE RED MENACE (1949) Imprint Collection #263 Label: Imprint Films Region Code: Region-Free Rating: Unrated Duration: 87 Minutes 14 Seconds Audio: English PCM 2.0 Mono with Optional English Subtitles Video: 1080p HD Fullscreen (1.37:1) Director: R.G. Springsteen Cast: Robert Rockwell, Betty Lou Gerson, Barbra Fuller, Shepherd Menken, Lester Luther The controversial anti-communist McCarthyism propaganda thriller The Red Menace (1949) (later re-released as Underground Spy) wears it's not-so-thinly-veiled anti-communist sentiment on it's sleeve and hilariously puts it right in your face in the most self-righteous of ways. In it a disgruntled ex-soldier named Bill Jones (Robert Rockwell, Destination Big House) becomes disillusioned with capitalism when a land deal goes sour and the Veteran's Bureau offers no help when he reports it. This opens him up to being recruited by the American Communist Party after being seduced by sexy commie-blonde Mollie (Barbra Fuller, Rock Island Trail). He ends up in love with another commie, Nina Petrovka (Hanna Axmann-Rezzori, 5 Fingers) but both soon enough come to see how wrong they were about the communist party, finding themselves on the run from communist agents who want to do them harm. That it ends with a Texas lawman the locals call "Uncle Sam" seemingly saving the day is pretty dang funny.
