Playwright Lillian Hellman wrote the script for this WWII propaganda effort, starring Walter Huston as Dr. Kurin, the physician of a Russian village which comes under attack by Nazi forces. At the outset, all is well in the bucolic village of North Star. But while Kolya (Dana Andrews), an off-duty air force pilot and his brother Damian (Farley Granger) are on a walking tour near the village, they are strafed by Luftwaffe pilots who quickly move on to attack the village. The Russians are quickly forced to prepare for the oncoming invasion. (official distributor synopsis)
