Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
A Ukrainian village defends itself against the Nazi onslaught. Dramatic battle scenes. Most of the men take to the hills to begin guerrilla attacks. The farmers destroy their crops to keep them from the enemy.

A Nazi doctor begins using the children for blood transfusions for their soldiers, and a group of teenagers attempt to take arms to the resistance. Good performances. Nominated for the following Academy Awards: Best Cinematography, Interior Decoration, Music Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture, Sound Recording, Special Effects and Writing, and Original Screenplay by William Hellman.

This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - "The Earth belongs to us, the people, if we fight for it. And we will fight for it!"
Samuel Goldwyn's excellent but now almost forgotten wartime drama THE NORTH STAR was scripted by Lillian Hellman and directed by Lewis Milestone. William Cameron Menzies was associate producer, Aaron Copland scored some fine Ukrainian-like music with Ira Gershwin providing lyrics. Hellman and Copland were both Oscar-nominated for their contributions as was cinematographer James Wong Howe. The picture received 6 Academy nods in all.

At first blush this appears to be a jolly Goldwyn musical. ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - DON'T BOTHER!!!
After purchasing every available copy of this film on the market, please take my advise -- DO NOT BOTHER!

There is obviously no decent print of this film currently available. Being that it was originally produced by Samuel Goldwyn and released through United Artists, one might assume that MGM/UA Home Video might hold the original negatives (since they appear to have the rights to other Goldwyn films presently). The truth may be that no better version of this film exists, and that would be ... Read More

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Five years later and we were told to hate these people!
Here we have Walter Brennan and Dean Jagger leading an all star cast
in a movie telling how brave the Russian people are.
There were several of these early 40's war movies showing
our solidarity with the Russian against the Germans.
The same governments turned on each other just a short time further on.
In a time when the KGB has fallen we still have the CIA:
they are the same sort of beast as these governments
that tell us to love them one year and hate them the ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Nice piece of PRO Soviet WWII Propaganda
I was really surprised by this film in that it is pure WWII gold (i.e. Soviet people are good and Nazi's are bad). No mention is made in any shape or form to the millions killed by Stalin and the irony of it all is that this film is set in the Ukraine; site of the Soviet ordered famine which killed millions of Kulaks (Ukrainian farmers); but then again why would it (Stalin was our ally)?
I was also `very' surprised that Aaron Copeland did the music for this film. There are several actors who went on ... Read More
