Not bad, but sinister overtones

Love on location shooting in New York,during the forties.Enjoyed the suspense..

In the real world governments do spy on people who might become enemies.
Do you really think spying on nazi Germany or Stalin's Russia or the Taliban was wrong?

The whole point of subversive activity is --well--'subversive'. This movie was made in 1945 purporting to show a real life attempt to steal secrets of the Manhattan Project. Carl Fuchs, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg--were spies of the early '50s who did steal secrets and give them to the Soviet Union--so the Soviet Union's first Atomic Bomb in 1952(?) was a direct copy of the American version.

The attack on Pearl Harbor was in fact anticipated though not the detail.

And now we are in a Brave New World where people (terrorists) would use chemical, biological, nuclear weaponry that can fit in a brief case--to inflict widespread damage. That is not a joke or Hollywood hokem--that is a reality.

Worse, we have learned that the NRA is in reality a subversive organization that endorses the violent, armed overthrow of the US Government and that this activity is endorsed by the 2nd Amendment and the Founding Fathers intended the 2nd Amendment for insurrection should the government become the new tyranny. Timothy McVeigh, Cliven Bundy, Eric Frein, Frazier Glenn Cross; there are cadres of armed American citizens willing to engage in armed conflict against the US government--that is not Hollywood hokem either--that is reality.

In this day and age of computer technology when the we have to assume that all internet or cell phone or landline traffic is being monitored for subversive activity--it's a sad commentary but a necessary reality of the modern world. if 9/11 could have been prevented by monitoring of internet or cell phone communication. Course, the reality also exists that with so many to monitor--it becomes almost impossible to find the real culprit in the haystack; the Boston Marathon Bombers--case in point.
