Review – The Iron Curtain

It came from the early days of the Cold War, when the Red Menace haunted the earth. Dana Andrews stars as Soviet traitor Igor Gouzenko, a cipher clerk at the Russian Embassy in Canada who gave up an atomic secrets spy ring in the name of freedom and justice. The production is packed with the typical clichés: the sneaky spies, the foolish Commie dupes, the sinister Soviet officials, and so on. At this point in history the drama is stiff and corny, though I suppose it must have been scary at the time. Mildly amusing
