America's Call To Arms - Castle Films silent wartime documentary

3 years ago
17

Made in 1942, this silent wartime documentary by the now-defunct and vanished Castle Films is full of scenes showing how America was gearing up for World War II....ship launches, aircraft factories, tank building, and recruiting and training manpower. It is certainly a wartime piece, and a bit heavy on the pro-American propaganda, but that is hardly surprising, given the time. Digitized from the 16mm version produced for home viewing, and provided for historical documentation, discussion and critique.
